There are no refunds on uniform or merchandise once ordered.

Practice Attire

Cheerleaders must wear appropriate clothing (t-shirt and shorts) and hair tied back and away from the eyes. A t-shirt or tank top is required to wear over a sports bra at every practice and no midriffs will be shown. All athletes will be required to wear indoor/cheer shoes.

Athletes should not be wearing loose clothing, hoodies, or clothing with sharp objects on them (e.g. zippers, buttons, etc). At practices, athletes participate in stunting and tumbling and the clothes they wear is important to consider in order to prevent injury to themselves or others.

​

​

Sudden Shut Down Plan

According to the Provincial Health Order and the guidelines from ViaSport (we are classified as a SPORT) we are open for in-person practices with athletes 3 metres apart. However, if we are told to close due to changes in the government health procedures around COVID-19, we will collect the dues for the current month and continue to provide you the regular practice schedule for the remaining practices, virtually. We have the practice plans outlined and they can easily be modified to accommodate a home practice. Future payments will be decided depending on the length of the shut down and updates from the Provincial Health Order and ViaSport.
