We have annual try-outs. If you have missed the try-outs but have cheer or dance experience, please contact us. We accept new members throughout the year on a case by case basis.
Are practices mandatory?Yes practices are mandatory. A team can only be as good as its weakest member and can not increase its skill set without everyone being there. If a team member misses practice, it holds entire stunt groups back.
When and where do you practice?We have mandatory practices every Wednesday from 7pm-10pm as well as Sunday’s from 5pm-8pm. Our practice facility is located in West Sacramento.
How much does it cost to be a member of Cheer Sacramento?Each Member is responsible to purchase her own uniform and any other accessories deemed necessary. Members are responsible for her own travel expenses. We also attend camp during the summer. Approximate costs for uniforms for both teams are about $600. We do keep our uniforms for at least 2 years.
We have monthly dues of $35 to cover operating costs. We do fundraising throughout the year to offset costs.
We perform at various events throughout the year. These events range from runs to television performances to Pride events to festivals. We even have even been in a Coca Cola Commercial! We have about one event per month we perform at, with June being one of our busiest months. We also cheer at every home and some away games for the River City Gators.
Are children allowed at practices?Sorry, no. Due to our insurance Children can not come to our practices.
What is the minimum/maximum age to be on the team?You must be 18 or turning 18 within 3 months of joining the team (with parental consent). There is no maximum age for the team. We currently have members in their 30’s on the team.
How long is the required commitment to CHEER Sacramento?We require a one year commitment to the team.
Is tumbling or prior cheerleading experience required to join?Tumbling is not required. We can put you in contact with optional tumbling classes if you would like to learn how to tumble. Cheerleading and/or dance experience is required. If you have cheered but it has been awhile, no worries. You must understand the fundamentals of stunting.
Do you compete?
Cheer Sacramento’s mission is to help Non-Profits raise money with our dynamic stunt and dance routines. We may add competitions to the 2008 season as long as it does not interfere with our main focus of raising money and cheering for the River City Gators.
I do not cheer, but want to still help, is there anything I can do?Auxillary members are members that do not perform, but help with events. There are many positions you could volunteer for that do not require you to perform. Also the River City Gators are always looking for volunteers!
Is Cheer Sacramento a co-ed team?We are currently an all girl team, but guys are welcome to try out. Contact Coach Meri to find out what positions are available.
