SIDELINE CHEER SCHEDULES:  Football game schedule to be published in August.

https://www.cy-fairsports.org/Schedules/Football

 

PRACTICE SCHEDULE: Practice Days/Times/Locations are all determined by the volunteer head coach assigned to your team (usually on weekday evenings or weekends near your home). *We limit all our sports to 3 events per week - games and practices.

 

SQUAD FORMATION:  Squads are formed after football teams have been established. Just as football team formation, teams are created by the school your child is zoned to. This allows Coaches to facilitate practices in and or around your area for convenience.  You are not required to attend school in CFISD to participate. 

SQUAD SIZE: Cheer squads are based on multiple factors including time stamped registration and formed football teams.   The size of the squads was created with a balance of maximizing the experience for all participants across the CFSA membership and the manageability / safety of the cheerleaders. Squads may be formed to exceed the maximum, with commissioner approval only. Their goal is to keep cheer cheering for their football team and maximize the overall experience.

SQUAD PARTICIPATION & TIME COMMITMENT: Cheer is a Team sport and maximum participation is necessary for Squads to be successful.  Cheer squads will participate in a minimum of 8 football games. Top ranked football teams will move onto the play-offs and their cheer squads will participate with the team through the single elimination tournament. The top two teams in each division will compete in the Super Bowl, location TBD.

Prior to school starting, the team can choose to have up to 4 events per week. Events include practices and games. Once school starts, events are limited to 3 per week. The cheerleading season runs from August through late November. Games are played on Saturdays with possible make-ups during the week. Practices are held according to each teams’ schedule.

Cheer squads will also participate in a cheer off competition between the CFSA cheer squads. Please see the cheer off tab on the website for more information (https://www.cy-fairsports.org/Sports/Cheerleading/Cheer-Off)

 

NOTIFICATION OF CHEER SQUAD ASSIGNMENT:  Squad Rosters will be released to coaches by the end of July.  Once the Head Coach receives the roster, he/she will contact the team and begin communication via the e-mail address listed in your child’s profile.

 

COACH SELECTION:  Coach selection will be based on the criteria set forth by the Cheer Committee. Final approval from committee is then required to formalize the selection. Coaches are announced after team formations.  All Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches must register as coach in our system and will have a background check run.
