insurance, 2 practice uniforms, coach's certification, and first month program fee.

choreography and music, competition uniforms/warm-up and accessories is covered by fundraising and/or additional parent payment.
3. Are the coaches paid?
There is no financial compensation for any PAC coaches.
4. Is prior cheerleading / tumbling experience required?
No, prior cheerleading / tumbling experience is NOT required. The coaching staff has the willingness to train any youth no
matter the level or lack of experience. During the first 2 months of the season, cheerleaders will be taught and drilled on basic
cheerleading techniques including proper motions placement, jumps and stunting.
5. Is tumbling required?
Tumbling is a significant component of All-Star cheerleading. While we are willing to accept cheerleaders who may not enter
the program with tumbling skills, all cheerleaders will be expected to train and obtain the required tumbling skills (i.e.:
forward/back rolls, cartwheel, round off, standing back handspring, front hand spring, round off back handspring) prior to the start of
the competition season. Those cheerleaders who have not achieved and mastered the required skills may be asked to serve as
an alternate on the team.
6. How often does the team practice?
PAC will make every effort to ensure that there will be no more than 6 hours per week of practice. Please note that there is
always the possibility that practices may be added during the competition season AND practices may run longer than scheduled.
We will make every effort to avoid the frequency of this occurrence, however team readiness is 100% tied to practice.
7. Will there be fundraising opportunities?
The cost of cheerleading can be very expensive. This is especially true for all star cheerleading. One of the goals of PAC is to make
cheerleading accessible to everyone. There will be fundraising opportunities to assist with meeting this goal. Participation in
fundraisers will be on a volunteer basis, BUT ONLY THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO PARTICIPATE IN THE FUNDRAISERS WILL
BENEFIT FROM THE FUNDRAISERS.
There will be a number of individual and team fundraisers scheduled on a monthly basis throughout the season:
A - Individual fundraisers will include candy sales, scratch cards, and pizza kits sells with the profit going directly on the cheerleader's
bill to defray program cost.
B - Program fundraisers such as bucket drives, bowling parties, and dinner sell profit will go into the general fund to supplement
competition fees, the cost of travel, competition routine choreography, and end of season activity.
8. Does the team travel?
The team will participate in a number of competitions throughout the tri-state area. They will participate in at least one
competition per season where they will be required to stay overnight.
9. Are cheerleaders allowed to participate in other extra-curricular activities?
Through we encourage our cheerleaders to be well rounded, we ask that during the season they not participate in
extra-curricular activities that interfere with PAC practices and competition schedule. If this becomes an issue, the
cheerleader will be asked to choose between cheerleading and other outside activities. There will be no refund of fees paid prior to
cheerleading leaving the squad.
