6. After you have completed your registration, you will be notified via email of upcoming meetings and events. We ask that you make arrangements to attend these meetings so that you don't miss out on important information about the season. Attending the initial parent meeting is mandatory.
7. Cheer practice will begin in early August. Squads will practice 2 times per week. Additional practices may be required to prepare for special events throughout the cheer season. It is the parent's responsibility to drop off and pick up their child on time. PLEASE NOTE: DYS is a commitment. Cheerleaders MUST attend practices and games. Failure to do so may result in your child not being eligible for performances.
8. DYS is a non-profit organization. Please be aware that your child will be expected to participate in reasonable fundraising efforts during the season, with each girl raising a minimum of $150. No Exceptions! You have the opportunity to "opt out" of fundraising activity on your Registration Form and will have the $150 added to your registration fee.
9. DYS is a 100% volunteer organization. We need Coaches, Concessions Help, Spirit Wear Sales, Fundraising Coordinators, etc throughout the season. Please be prepared to help the squads out several times throughout the season. You may opt out of volunteering for $50 fee added to registration.
