What are fittings? Is it necessary to come if I already know my child’s sizes?

Fittings are when we have all of our apparel representatives available to try on size runs for each piece of apparel that we will order for your child. It is absolutely necessary to be at fittings to ensure a proper fit. Our uniforms are custom made to your child’s measurements. It is the your responsibility to approve the recommended sizes. This is the only opportunity that we will have to have access to all of the size runs, so please make it a priority to attend. This is also for camp wear, jacket, shoes and any spirit wear you may want to order. Fittings will be held on Date TBD.

Can my daughter cheer for her brother’s football team?

This can only be accomplished if they are in the same grade/age bracket. Football places players on teams based on age and cheer is based on grade. This is a GFL rule and strictly enforced. If you do have children who may fall within this grade/age bracket, please let us know so that we may ensure that they are on the same team.

How long is the season?

Practice begins on date July 22nd. The regular season runs through October. If the team that your child cheers for makes it to the playoffs, it can possibly run up until mid November.

What is cheerleading camp?

The Collins Hill High School cheerleaders coordinate and run a camp for our girls each year. This acts as their major fundraiser for the year. This will be held at the High School on a date to be determined.

Where do the games take place?

The games are spread out around 19 Gwinnett County association parks. Every attempt is made to evenly distribute the home/away games but please keep in mind that game schedules are provided to each team in each association by GFL (Gwinnett Football League) The game schedule and directions to each park will be provided by your team manager.  Transportation to each game is your responsibility.

How much do they practice?

Typically, teams practice 2-3 times a week, depending on the coach, with games on Saturdays. GFL rules limit 1st graders to only 2 practices a week, plus the games and all other grades are limited to 3 practices a week, plus games. There WILL NEVER be a Sunday practice.

Does my child have to try out for a team?

We do have assessments. However, every child is guaranteed a spot on a team. Assessments are an opportunity for the coaches to assess the skills of each cheerleader to fairly divide up the teams. Assessments are not mandatory, however, if your child is not assessed, their name will be blindly drawn from a hat and placed on a team. No exceptions! Assessments will be held on TBD.  There is no experience required to cheer on any recreational cheerleading squad.  Drafts are done on TBD. You should be hearing from your coaches that day.
Cheerleading is a great deal of fun both physically and socially for girls and boys of all ages.

CHAA warmly invites you to join our Eagle family.
