Marshfield Youth Cheerleading

Here is a highlight of Program Information. 

Please read the Rules and Regulations for more detailed information
which includes the absence rules.

Please take the time to read all information before registering with MYC.

Registration:

• Registration begins April 8, 2024 and ends May 31, 2024.
  

•  
• No refunds after July 31, 2024.
•  

• For safety reasons, teams are limited to a maximum size of 30.  All cheerleaders that were in the program the year before and completed the entire year will automatically be placed on a team.  Any additional cheerleaders above 30 will be placed on waiting list and if a spot opens the athlete will be added in order of registration. New cheerleaders that are coming aboard at the Midget level may be asked to go through an evaluation process prior to being accepted onto a team. This will assure they are able to execute at the midget level while maintaining safety for all.  

•  

• Parents of ALL Cheerleaders are REQUIRED to attend our Mandatory Parent Meeting to cover season specifics.  This meeting will give an in-depth summary of the program and the expectations for both cheerleaders and parents.  Date, time and location
  will be determined and you will be notified after registration closes.
  
  

Cheerleading Season:

• All cheerleaders must participate in Choreography, Practices, Field team events (weekly games) and the Competition team. Any cheerleader having to miss any portion of this schedule must apply to board for special consideration.  Further details on this are available in the Rules and Regulations document.

• Mandatory Summer Choreography:
  This will occur in the middle of August.

• Summer Practice:  
  Summer practice for all squads begins August 6th and runs Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays  from 5 – 7 pm.  Practice is outside and location is TBD.

• September – November Practice:  
  Practice moves inside (times, gym and days to be determined by school administration).  Teams continue to practice three times a week and practice days and times are staggered in order to accommodate all teams. Grades 2-4 may only have 2 nights of practice.  That will be determined after registration closes.  Extra practices may be scheduled closer to competition dates.

• Football Season: 
  The football season begins in September and can run into November with playoff games and the Superbowl game.  Games are once a week and generally held on Sunday and occasional Saturday nights.  There is no bus offered for cheerleaders to away games so parents are responsible for coordinating their own suitable transportation. Game calendar with dates and locations are posted on our website once available. Parents will be notified of changes by email and postings on the website.
   

• Competition:  
  Marshfield Youth Cheerleading participates in four to five competitions during the month of October and November. More information on this will be provided at the Mandatory Parent meeting.

Expected Costs:

Past the registration fee, parents must cover the following expenses (this is a summary and other small expenses may pop up during the season). 
 

• Required Uniform Accessories: This generally includes briefs, required shoes, white no show socks, yoga pants, black shorts, jacket, rain gear, bag and gloves.  Total for the first year runs approximately $150 (items generally do not need to be replaced year after year if they are purchased with some growth in mind).
  
  

• Cheer Choreography, Tumbling and Hairbows will cost $300. Due July 31st.  No refunds once camp starts.  This fee must be paid prior to the first day of camp. 
  
  

• Optional Costs -  Pictures, winter gear and banquet tickets are offered for additional costs but not required to be purchased.
  
  

• A uniform deposit of $300 is required before a cheerleader will be allowed to receive her uniform. The deposit may be made by cash or check. Checks should be post-dated for 12/1 or the current year.  Uniforms are the property of Marshfield Youth Cheerleading and the uniform deposit will cover the cost of a replacement skirt, shell and bag. This deposit will not be cashed if the complete and clean uniform is returned by the specified date. 

•  
• Competition hairpieces and makeup

Fundraising:
