SEASON FOUR – 2020/2021 TRYOUT AND INFORMATION PACKETThank you for choosingCHEERCATS LAS VEGAS!In our fourth season we are proud to offer two locations in Las Vegas! CheerCats is based out of Gymcats in Henderson and Summerlin. Gymcats is one of the largest gymnastics’ facilities in the Las Vegas area- standing strong for over 25 years!OUR MISSIONCheerCats is unlike any other cheer program you will find in the Las Vegas area. We focus on building superior athletes from the inside out – with positivity and emphasizing the value of teamwork. Unlike other programs we never push an athlete to perform skills they are not ready for, for the sake of winning. We believe in challenging your athlete mentally and physically and with great technique and support from your coaches the skills will come when your athlete is ready. CheerCats coaches are here to develop your athlete’s full physical potential and fuel their passion for this sport. We strive to give each athlete, no matter the skill level, the ultimate competitive cheerleading experience. We also know that competitive cheer can be a very costly sport, so we strive for competitive prices as well as minimal travel commitments. Most importantly – we want your athlete to have fun every time they step onto the mat! Here at CheerCats we truly believe these will be some of the best memories of your child’s life and we’re so happy to be a part of them!A NOTE FROM THE DIRECTORS –Directors Ashley Advent and Allison Kyler Julian are so excited to be heading into their fourth season with CheerCats and would like to thank each athlete and parent for their interest and support with this outstanding program. We truly love what we do and hope it shows at every practice and event we spend with your athlete.CONTACT INFORMATIONCheer Directors Email: cheerdirectors@Henderson Gym Address:440 S.

Elite or Prep: What is the diiference?CheerCats All Star?Prep teams are designed for athletes who have less experience with cheer and are searching for a more competitive way to perform. Prep teams are also an amazing way to challenge athletes who have their skills but may need a little more assistance with their technique and confindence. However, many athletes choose this option, regardless of their skill level, because it’s less of a financial, travel and time commitment than elite teams.CheerCats All Star Elite teams are designed to push athletes to their highest level. We may require at least a year of experience on a prep team before we will allow you to switch to elite. We may also require your athlete to train during the summer months, and then reevaluate, to decide what level elite team your athlete will be placed on, to ensure they have a succesful season.?If you do not make an elite team this season, do not worry — CheerCats LV provides one of the best prep programs you will find with the same competitive experience as an elite program!*The USASF has changed age eligibilty for the upcoming season.Please see your childs birth year below to see what age divisions they can be considered for.?*Team placements are at the sole discretion of the cheer directors. Due to space we are limited on how many teams we can build and their team size. Every athlete that attends tryouts will not be placed on a team.3CHEERCATS LV PROGRAM POLICIESFeel free to talk to your coach about any concerns that you may have. We want to make sure the line of communication is always open. You can email or text a CheerCats directors if you have questions or would like to set up a meeting to discuss anything. But please remember there is always an appropriate time. We are here for you!!! (Never text anything personal, including running late/missing practice in your team GroupMe chat.)Attitude is everything! If an athlete consistently has a negative attitude in practice, outside of the gym or on social media, they will be given a warning along with guardian notification. After one warning, your athlete will be benched. It is solely up to the cheer directors when your athlete will be able to rejoin the team.PRACTICE DRESS – Due to Covid 19 – CheerCats LV is finding avenues for financial breaks.

All practice wear needs to be in black or team colors (navy, pink, neon yellow, white). NO baggy tshirts! NO jewelry! Wearing your cheer shoes to practice is mandatory!
