BLACKOUT DATES

Blackout dates occur during the weeks leading up to our competitions. As this is a team sport, it is imperative all athletes attend all practices. If your athlete has to miss a blackout practice due to an unexcused absence, they will not be eligible to compete at the upcoming competition. Late arrival/leaving early during blackout practices will be considered an absence. Team practice dates/times may alter depending on which teams are attending the upcoming competition.

While blackout dates are specifically designated as times when athletes must be in attendance, all practices should be considered mandatory. Competitive cheerleading is a team sport, and every athlete’s commitment is crucial to the success and safety of the team.

Please note that even if a practice is missed outside of a listed blackout date, our staff reserves the right to adjust roles or remove an athlete from an upcoming competition if their absence impacts the team’s readiness.
