Half Season

Team 

Our 2025–26 Half-Season Team is officially full, and we are so excited about the strong group of athletes heading into the upcoming season!

While this team has reached capacity, we continue to offer skill-building classes designed to prepare athletes for the next cheer season. These classes focus on strengthening fundamentals, improving technique, and building confidence—giving athletes a competitive edge for future team placements.

Whether your athlete is new to cheer or working toward the next level, our training programs provide a structured, supportive environment to develop skills, stay active, and be fully prepared when evaluations for the next season begin.

Dress Code

Athletes must adhere to the following strict dress code for evaluations:

• Attire: Black top and black bottoms (shorts or leggings).

• Hair: High ponytail.

• Accessories: Team/Program Bow.

• Makeup: Red lipstick (to simulate competition look).

The half-season program runs from December through April and requires five (5) installment payments of $250.00 each, totaling $1,250.00 for the program.
