Thank you for your interest in Lebanon
Youth Football and Cheer, Inc. The following is intended to
provide information only. If you have specific questions for which you
cannot find the answer here please feel free to email us.
Registration & Uniform fees
TOTAL FEES: $150.00
Uniform requirements
Each cheerleader will be required to
have a basic cheer uniform which consists of a shell, skirt, briefs, solid
white shoes, solid white socks and poms. The League will be
responsible for placing the uniform orders. Parents will be responsible
for purchasing shoes that are solid white, and solid white socks.
Practices
Practice will begin on July 19, and be located at the
Fairview Church on Leeville Pike. Initially, everyone will practice as one
group. The group will be divided when the football teams have been
split into their divisions. At this time, coaches will be assigned to
specific divisions, and cheerleaders will practice with their group for the
rest of the season (exception: competition practice). Practices will be
held Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6:00 until 7:30. Please
remember that cheerleading is a team sport, and your squad and coaches depend
on you. There are routines which require specific planning and placement,
and we have to be able to depend on everyone to be there, to be on time and to do
their part. Practices are MANDATORY. If you don't practice, you
don't cheer game day. Allowances may be made on a case by case
basis. Please inform your coach ahead of time if you can't make
practice. Repeated absences and/or tardies could result in removal from
the squad with no refund. Please inform coaches if you will not be able
to remain with your child for the duration of practice. We ask that
parents attend practices because there is alot of information (especially
during season) that is passed along. If you cannot stay with your child,
please give the coach phone numbers and emergency contacts. Just as we
expect your child to arrive at practice on time, we expect your child to be
picked up on time. If late pick-ups become habitual, your child may be
removed from the squad.
Games
Game schedules are provided by TYSA, and will be posted on
"Home" tab under Shcedules as soon as they become available to us. Please
keep in mind that schedules can and do change. TYSA deadline for
changes is Thursday prior to game day, and for that reason, some schedules may
not be posted until Thursday evening. There will be 8 regular season
games. Depending on win/loss, there could be 1 or 2 playoff games plus
the championship game in November in addition to regular season. Games
(regular season & post season), like practices, are mandatory. Click here
for link to field locations for away games. Everyone is expected to travel with
their team. If transportation to a game is a problem, please bring
it up with your coach and/or the director. We will work with you to find
a solution.
Dress
During warmer months, cheerleaders will wear well-fitting
shorts, shirts, socks and tennis shoes for practice. No belly shirts, no
short-shorts, no flip-flops or sandals. As the temperature drops,
appropriate practice attire will include sweat pants or yoga pants, and
long sleeved t-shirts or sweatshirts. The child should be able to
tuck in the shirt so it does not rise while doing stunts or tumbling. The
basic uniform must be worn for all games and TYSA events. Proper footwear
(tennis shoes - solid white for games & events) is required for
safey. No jewelry is allowed.
Conduct
Our cheerleaders are considered representatives of their
team, our league and TYFA as a whole. For this reason, there will be no
offensive language (coaches & directors determination) or fighting.
Good sportsmanship and teamwork is expected. If there is a problem with
another member of the squad, another parent or adult, please discreetly bring
it to the attention of the coach(es) and director(s) in a timely manner.
We do not want to air dirty laundry in front of the girls. Poor conduct,
lack of respect toward coaches, other cheerleaders and other Lebanon Youth Football and Cheer members will
not be tolerated and could result in removal from the squad. Continual
behavior problems will not be tolerated. If parents must bring siblings
to practice, please ensure they are not disruptive to practice
