2022 Fall Cheer

This year, we are offering the following registration options.

Non-Competition – The non-competition program is designed for ages 5, 6, 7 & 8 (as of 8/1/2022) with a focus on introducing first time participants to the sport of cheer and learning and/or building on cheer fundamentals including cheers, chants, drills, and basic stunting and tumbling. Non-competition teams will perform sideline cheer and dance routines at football games and have an opportunity to showcase their routine during the annual Bux-mont Classic competition (October) to gain competition experience and expose cheerleaders to larger performance arenas in a more relaxed setting. This program is dedicated to learning and will continue to grow and build on their skills throughout the season.

Competition - The competition program is available for ages of 9 to 15 (as of 8/1/2022). In this program, the cheerleaders will have the same opportunity to learn cheers and participate in sideline cheer and dances as the non-competition team, but will focus on the more advanced facets of cheerleading including learning competition routines along with stunting and tumbling. Competition teams will perform half time routines which they will build on as part of their competition routine. The competition teams will participate in the annual Bux-mont cheer competition (October) and top finishers of the Bux-mont competition will have the opportunity to advance to the PopWarner Eastern Regional competition (November) with the ultimate goal of advancing to the national competition in Florida (December.) These team may also have the opportunity to compete beyond the regular season. Competition teams do not require previous cheer or dance experience in order to participate.

Team Placement - All cheerleaders will be placed on teams in August based on age and the number of athletes registered in the program. The Hatboro-Horsham Hawks reserves the right to place participants on a team that best suits their skill level.

What is included in the Registration Fee?

All cheerleaders will receive a uniform to use for the season. A deposit will be required and returned when the uniform shell and skirt are returned in good condition at the end of the season. Sideline and competition bow, practice shirt, and cheer jacket which are all yours to keep!

Cheerleaders will be expected to additionally purchase sneakers, boy shorts, crop top (for cold days & for competition), Breast Cancer Awareness bow and pom poms. This ensures teams maintain a uniform look as a squad. All items can be ordered through the cheer director for your convenience.

Parents/Guardians may be responsible for additional costs throughout the season. (i.e. competition fees, travel and accommodations for competitions, practice space). You will be provided with as much advance notice as possible regarding any additional out-of-pocket costs.

Practice Schedule:

Cheerleading is a team sport, and our teams can only succeed if everyone is in attendance. 100% of attendance is expected at practices and games unless there is an approved absence. All teams required to participate in 20 hours of conditioning before the start of the traditional practice season. Conditioning is typically the first two full weeks in August (Monday-Thursday) in the evenings.
