The registration information regarding the fee timeline, trainings, confirmation of event date will be emailed to the squad.
See fee information above.
Trials
If your child is interested in trialing for a place in the Cheer squad, please register via Kindo by Tuesday 10 February.
The first session will be held on Thursday 12 February.
Further two dates will be confirmed via email for those who register.
Training
A commitment is required to attend training every Thursday at lunchtime, and ideally a Monday morning session (TBC). This commitment applies even if your child is injured, as routines are continuously developed and their presence is essential.
In the lead-up to competitions, a training session will be held at the cheer gym, on a weekend - with dates to be confirmed.
Selection process
We go through a very thorough selection process to finalise our teams and players will be placed in a team that our selectors have determined best suits their ability and experience. While inevitably there will be some movement of players, both up and down teams, it is important to remember that this movement can be a result of the following factors:
- New players who didn’t play last year can also create movement for other players, especially if they are placed in a higher team, resulting in other players moving down to a lower team.
- Individual development and growth over the summer months. If individual players have put in an extra effort and completed additional training over the holiday, this can definitely show during trials, resulting in higher performance on the court and some movement between teams.
We understand that some students will have questions regarding the trial process and eventually the team selection – if your child does, please ask them to see Anna in the sports office.
As per our Sports Selection Policy, no correspondence regarding team selection will be entered into. If you wish to view it, please download the document at the bottom of this page.
Coaches, managers & umpires
The Cheerleading team does not require a coach. If we need a manager at a future date, we will advise the squad.
All coaches and managers are required to be police vetted by Northcross. If you are keen to take on one of these roles and have not yet been police vetted by our school, please email the Sport Department and we will send you through the relevant forms to fill out.
