Competitive Environment
Competitive cheerleading brings a significant amount of pressure on competition days. At Davis, we strive to replicate that same level of intensity during our practices. Throughout the season, your athlete will engage with various alternates and team members rotating in and out of positions, creating the most competitive teams for the mat.
It is crucial for both your family and athlete to recognize that our coaches are committed to helping them reach their fullest potential, often believing in their abilities even more than they do themselves. We maintain high expectations for every athlete and will hold them accountable to these standards during each practice and competition.
We kindly ask that you ensure your family can meet our expectations before joining a team at Davis. If this commitment does not align with your family’s capabilities, we provide a range of other programs that may be more suitable.
Practice Expectations
Mandatory Practice
Guidelines at Davis
Starting in June, attendance at practices is MANDATORY. Many families in our program make significant sacrifices to ensure they never miss a practice, and we are seeking athletes who can bring that same commitment. Missing practices will hinder the progress of our teams, so we expect all athletes to be present at every session. Absences should only occur in cases of emergencies.
Practice Expectations
Punctuality
Practices at Davis will commence ON TIME, and we expect athletes to be prepared and ready before practice begins. Each minute an athlete arrives late detracts from valuable TEAM training time.
School Cheerleading
We are proud of the working relationship we have developed throughout the years with school coaches. Communication will be the key to success if your athlete will be enjoying the experience of both allstar and school cheerleading this season.
Special Events
We aim to create unforgettable experiences for our athletes beyond practices and competitions. Here are some exciting events to look forward to:
Davis Meet Your Team Halloween Trunk or Treat
Davis Showcase
CHEERSPORT Team Room
Individual Team Bondings Team Holiday Parties
Themed Practices Bid Reveals End of Season Awards Ceremony
Parent Support
We owe the opportunity to provide our athletes and their families with a unique, warm, and unforgettable season to YOU, the parents!
There will be plenty of volunteer opportunities available for you to engage and forge lifelong bonds and friendships.
We also aim to collaborate with you in navigating the emotions and feelings your athlete may experience this season. Competitive cheerleading is both a challenging and rewarding sport, offering valuable life lessons that our athletes can carry with them for years. We believe that quitting should never be an option mid-season once you commit to a team sport. There is always a way to help your athlete regain their motivation if they feel defeated or reluctant to return to practice. It's essential to be attentive to these feelings as practices intensify in October and November. With open lines of communication, we can ensure that your athlete feels happy, loved, acknowledged, and understood in this competitive environment!
New Score Sheet/Team Placements
In light of the significant scoring changes this season, our team selections and placements will be adjusted accordingly. Our aim is to remain competitive at all levels and with every team in our program. We are seeking well-rounded athletes at each level who can demonstrate perfect technique in tumbling, jumps, and stunting. New tumbling passes that highlight creativity and increased difficulty will be introduced at all levels, so even if you believe your athlete has reached their maximum potential at a level, rest assured there is still more to learn based on the updated scoring criteria.
This season, our objective is for each athlete to compete confidently on the competition stage. We do not anticipate moving many of our current athletes and teams up a level. Instead, we will focus on maximizing our teams to compete at the high caliber of competitions we have selected. For example, a strong level 2 athlete we seek for our level 2 teams should have nearly perfect tumbling technique, be capable of executing multiple level 2 tumble passes (including new, creative ones), demonstrate mental toughness and readiness for intensive coaching, contribute to all stunting elements in whichever position is deemed suitable, and have jumps that are progressing towards "level" height. We fully expect our advanced level 2 teams to include athletes who are either starting to work on or already have tucks. This indicates they are confident in their level 2 skills and ready to compete against the best level 2 athletes in the nation.
ELITE / USASF
MOST OF OUR ATHLETES participate in Traveling Teams which travel to out-of-state events and compete 7 times during the 20252026 season. Travel includes NCA , Worlds or Summit.
