Practices
Practices are determined by each coach for their squad. Liberty Park squads will hold their practices at the SHAC, while all other squads will practice in reserved rooms at the Vestavia Hills Civic Center. Some coaches may choose to hold summer practices to help prepare the girls. Practices after camp are mandatory and typically occur weekly for one hour, usually on Sunday afternoons. Participants must wear their practice uniforms and bring a water bottle and pom poms (once received) to all practices.
Schedules
Schedules will be released at the end of August. Little Rebels Cheer cannot provide coaches with the schedules until the Jefferson-Shelby Youth Football League has finalized and posted them. Squads may be scheduled to cheer only days after the schedule is released, so it’s important to be prepared. Games will take place on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday nights at either 6:00 PM or 7:15 PM, and cheerleaders are usually required to arrive 15 to 30 minutes before the game starts. Typically, cheerleaders will only be asked to cheer at one game per week; depending on football team numbers, you may cheer every other week. The regular season runs from September through October. If your team makes the playoffs, games are usually held the week before Thanksgiving.
