1 CHEER FORCE ELITE Small Gym Big Dreams TEAM PLACEMENT & REGISTRATION PACKET 2017/2018

2 INTRO First, welcome and THANK YOU for your interest in our program! We are entering our 5th season and incredibly proud to offer the most affordable and premier All-Star Cheer Program in South Jersey. Your child is not just another number they are FAMILY!! Our EXTREME (Full Year) program, which includes all Mini, Youth, Junior and Senior teams, starts May 2017 and runs through May Practice will be 2 days a week, and will possibly increase to 3 days a week starting in September. All teams will attend a total of 8-10 competitions and two of those will be required overnights. Our Velocity Training Camp is a 2 day intensive skill building and team bonding camp and will be held at the gym in the summer. Team choreography will be held in the summer as well and is extremely important and MANDATORY! Our TINY Program includes the Tiny Team which begins in May 2017 and Teeny Tiny Team begins September Practices will be one hour; Tiny will practice 2 days per week and Teeny 1 day per week. The Tiny team will attend 4 competitions and the Teeny Tiny team will perform at the Comp Season Showcase and attend one Competition. We live to compete! We train heavily from May-December and start competing in January! Training consists of weekly tumbling included in team practices and tuition. There will be extra options for your child to progress such as additional tumbling classes, stretch classes etc., if they need extra assistance. Each child is required to purchase the items necessary to compete such as their uniform, sneakers and makeup, etc. These items will be theirs to keep; they are not rentals and can be used multiple years in a row unless new uniforms are being ordered that season. There is a possibility some used items can be purchased or swapped at a discounted price. This packet should help to provide you with all of the information you need to make the perfect All-Star Cheer choice for your cheerleader but should you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask. We look forward to welcoming you into our CFE family! Thank you, Owners - Devon Bobe & Nick Schultz
