FOOTBALL GAMES:

POST SEASON FOOTBALL GAMES:
If our football teams continue to the playoffs post-regular season, our cheer teams will be expected to support our football teams that within driving distance. This will include our Peace River Conference Playoffs, Regional Playoffs, and Championship games. Regionals and Championships will be held anywhere within Florida.
COMPETITIONS:
Peace River Cheer-Off
The Peace River Cheer Competition is held in October at Hertz Arena in Ft. Myers. Our cheer teams will compete with our local conference teams. This competition will determine if teams will move on to the Regional Competition in Orlando, FL.
Pop Warner Southeast Region Cheer Competition
This competition is held over Thanksgiving weekend at Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, FL. The cheerleaders will get to experience days packed full of fun aside from the competition. It’s a great way for the girls to compete at a high level, but also have a blast with team bonding, building friendships, and having a lot of FUN!
Pop Warner National Cheer and Dance Championships
Dependent upon placement at Regionals, cheer teams will move on to Nationals. This competition will be held in Charlotte, North Carolina. Typically held during the first or second week of December. Pop Warner will provide a letter to each cheerleader to excuse their absence from School.
****There will be a ton more information to come regarding the above competitions. The ACDC will be meeting with cheer families to discuss all of this at length, as well as the need to participate in Fundraising in order to plan for these post-season expenses. Please stay tuned for these meetings and you can always reach out to [email protected] for more competition information.
WHAT DOES MY CHILD NEED:
Cheer - workout gear, WHITE gameday cheer shoes
VOLUNTEER and Get Involved!!!
Our league is run completely on a volunteer basis. For a season to run efficiently, we ask that each family plan to volunteer throughout the season. Please reach out to Kelly Coleman if you are interested in a specific volunteer position within the league. Coaches, Team Moms, and Board Members will be posting in chat groups where help is needed also. It is important that each family donates a few hours of their time each season!
