When are payments due for the season?
You can make a full payment for all fees when you register your child. Optionally, we offer a payment plan.
If you select the payment plan there are still fees due at registration, which include the $20 PAA dues (if applicable for your family), initial payment of $20 and uniform fees. All other fees due on November 15th (plus installment fees)
What is the practice schedule? Where will practices be held? When do games start?
Practices for all squads will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6pm to 8:30pm starting mid-November. The exact time of each squad's practice is up to our coaches and cheer director. Please contact our Cheer Director, Rebecca Lund, at [email protected] for details!
All basketball game schedules are determined by the Chesterfield Basketball League, but typically games start the first weekend of the new year in January.
Besides cheering at games, will the PAA cheerleaders participate with other activities?
Yes! We'll be attending a cheer camp at one of our local high schools where our athletes will have a great day of fun, cheering, dancing, tumbling and team building!
We'll also visit a local cheer gym for some gymnastics and tumbling time!
Are you looking for cheer coaches and other volunteers this year?
Great question! And absolutely!
We are always in need of cheer coaches, team parents and other volunteers to help with the concession stand at games, fundraising and lots of other activities.
We're also looking for junior coaches! So if you know of a teenager who'd like to assist with coaching our cheer squads, we could definitely use their assistance! And it's a great way for them to earn volunteer hours!
So please let us know if you would like to help! PAA is a volunteer organization, and we definitely need all of our parents to participate and assist in order to be successful.
