OUR CHEERLEADING PROGRAM

     The Temple Terrace Wildcats Cheerleading program was founded to promote a recreational cheerleading program with a major emphasis on fun, teamwork, and competitive sportsmanship.  The cheerleading coaches, trainers, and team mothers are a dedicated group of people who volunteer their time and talents to coordinate each cheerleading squad.  

    Our trainers are an ambitious group of young people that volunteer to teach Wildcat cheerleaders the art of "cheer". Trainers are usually girls that have been cheerleaders for the Wildcats in the past. Coaches and trainers are interviewed by the Cheerleading Director and approved by the Wildcats Board of Directors. Coaches must be 21 years of age. Trainers must be at least 14 years of age. 

    There are no try-outs and all girls registering are rostered on a team.  The teams are limited to a maximum of 35 girls.  Cheerleaders perform every Saturday during football season, August through December. They will participate in the WCYFC Cheer-off Competition, to be hosted by the Brandon Bears.  The cheerleaders may also participate in other league approved functions, such as other competitions outside of our conference, parades, exhibitions, etc.

CHEERLEADER AGES

    Wildcats cheerleading squads range in age from 5 to 15. Cheerleaders are placed on teams strictly according to age, and these guidelines are set by the WCYFC and are not subject to change.   

    Age division are as follows: 5,6 & 7 - Mascots; 8-9 – Super Midgets; 10-11 - Midgets; 12-13 – Junior Varsity; 14-15 - Varsity. Example: Age is determined by the girl's age on July 31, 2008.

 UNIFORMS

    The Cheerleading Director designs and selects the uniform, which must be approved by the Wildcats Board of Directors. All uniforms must pass inspection by the Cheerleading Director. 

    League approved shoes must be provided by the parents, as well as other approved items such as practice outfits, turtlenecks, etc .  Pom-poms are supplied by the Wildcats and must be returned at the end of the season.

 IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    All teams practice Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 6:15-8:15 pm. If a practice is rained out, a make-up practice may be scheduled. Each cheerleading coach will advise the cheerleaders of any changes in the  team's practice schedule.

    If there is a disciplinary problem with a cheerleader that becomes serious enough to disrupt the squad, the coach, after consultation with the Cheerleading Director, may suspend or dismiss the girl from the squad pending final action before the TTYSA Board of Directors at the next regularly scheduled meeting. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend this meeting to appeal the suspension or dismissal.
