At CU it is important that we maintain a positive family-friendly environment, while also pushing our athletes to be the best he/she can be. With many Grand Championships and National titles, we are no stranger to the winning formula. We are fortunate enough, at Cheers Unlimited, to have the most knowledgeable staff in Arkansas. Having over 100 years of combined experience, our staff understands how to progress athletes properly, while remaining safe. We believe adding all this together creates an atmosphere for kids to expand not only in their athleticism, but also as young adults. Tryout Information Our competitive All-star program offers a variety of teams ranging in ages and skill levels. This year we are offering two different tryouts dates and every athlete is required to attend one pre-tryout. The week of pre-tryouts, all athletes will have the opportunity to attend multiple level and age based clinics (dates below). These pre-tryout clinics will consist of learning all tryout material and cost $20 per pre-tryout session. Each athlete will learn a short routine that includes tumbling, jumps, and dance. Athletes will tryout alone and the tryout process is closed. Tryouts are NOT the time to be throwing a skill for the first time. We want to see a sharp, clean tryout with energy and confidence. The word ‘tryout’ can be a scary one; however, we accommodate to all levels of experience and skill at Cheers Unlimited. We want to see our athletes thrive. Regardless of skill, we have a spot for every athlete trying out! Everybody makes a team!

All athletes must show a $0 balance on their account before being eligible to try out for the 2017- 2018 season 2.) Cheers Unlimited program is a twelve month program that runs from May 2017 through April 2018. By agreeing to take a spot on a team, you are agreeing to a twelve month financial commitment and will owe tuition for all twelve months. The month of April may be an off season training month depending on the finalized competition schedule. 3.) If you are placed on a squad and choose not to take the spot, any and all moneys paid will not be refundable. Refusing a spot based on your team prevents someone else from making that team and can leave the team without the proper amount of bases, flyers, etc. If there is a major reason why you would not be able to cheer on a particular squad or if there are particular days/times that you cannot practice, please attach a note to your candidate information sheet so that we will not consider you for that team. 4.) May 31st is the deadline to determine if you will cheer for CU or not. After May 31st, all contracts are FINAL. Anyone who quits after the deadline will be obligated to pay the monthly tuition for the remainder of the season. 5.) There are 3 Options to pay for the season. ($2996 total) Warm-up ($150), bag ($104) and Shoes ($90) sold Separately. Option 1) Monthly fee will be ($207 per month for 12 months).
