​

How is squad placement determined?

• Squads are determined on age/grade. With our league size and growth, we divide squads within divisions taking into consideration all requests and skill level to make squad placement as fair as possible.

 

Can my younger child be on the same squad as my older child?

• We highly encourage for cheerleaders to be on the same squad as those within their age group/division. If a parent would really like for their younger child to be on a squad with their older child that is in a different age group/division, they are eligible to be a Mascot. 

 

As a Mascot: 

If the younger sibling is in Pre-K through 1st grade, they will practice only the first practice of the week for the first hour and cheer until half-time at games. A parent must be present for all practices and games to supervise their child. During games, the Mascot will need to be picked up at the start of half-time. They will not be eligible to compete at the Central Texas Competition.

 

Please note that the Cheer Director holds the right to move the younger sibling down to their own age group/division if it's not a good fit. 

​

Can I coach my child’s squad?

Yes! We have several opportunities at all levels for coaches, assistant coaches and pack parents. Please contact Ashley.Voll@cpyfa.com for more info!

 

When is practice?

• Head Coaches set practice days and announce by the end of July.

  • Sideline Sweethearts and Tiny Spirit squads’ practice one evening each week; typically, Monday-Thursday.

  • Mighty Spirit & Competition squads’ practice two evenings Monday-Thursday; typically, Monday/Wednesday or Tuesday/Thursday.

 

Where does practice take place?

• From August to mid-September, we practice at various outdoor parks/ locations in Cedar Park. In mid-September, we move into CP elementary school gyms.

​

When is the 1st game?

• Saturday,September 7th–The game schedule will be published by the end of August. Most teams will have 7 to 8 regular games and conclude the season late October/early November.

​

Does CPYFA have a competition squad?

• Yes! The Competition Squad is made up of 2nd - 6th graders who

      compete in the American Youth Cheer organization with the goal of placing

      at the central, regional and national level.

​

What competitions does CPYFA compete in?

• The Central Texas Competition is the first competition. It’s a wonderful way for American

      Youth Cheer squads to showcase the skills they have learned throughout the season.

      Mighty and Competition Squads compete. It takes place in take October at a local High

      School. Squads that qualify, have the opportunity to compete in the Southwest Regional

      Competition that takes place in November.

• If the Competition Squad qualifies at Regionals, have the opportunity to advance to

      Nationals in December in Kissimmee, Florida; home to Universal Studios Orlando,

      Islands of Adventure and Disney World.

 

How can my child be on the Competition Squad and what are the requirements?

• Cheerleaders must be a returning CPYFA cheerleader and in 2nd – 6th grade.

• We host a skills assessment for the competition squad on April 28th, May 30th and June 23rd at Cheer Station
