Financial Policy

All fees are due according to the payment schedule detailed in the following information.  A $25 late fee will be assessed for all payments that are more than seven (7) days late.  Unpaid fees may result in suspension and/or termination from the program.  All fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Prior to turning in the registration form and fee, and therefore officially becoming a member of the Junior Charger Cheer Program, one must be financially prepared to plan for all of the following expenses.  This includes but is not limited to: program fee, uniform, shoes, and transportation expenses.  Refunds, discounts or credits are not given for vacations, absences, or cancellations.  If you should decide to leave the program, there are no refunds for monies paid for tuition or any other fees, including payments made in advance.

Finally, youth recreational cheerleading, while not as costly as some youth activities, is still an expensive sport.  The Junior Charger Cheer Program takes pride in providing an exceptional staff and program.  Our fees fall well below other area youth cheerleading programs.  We do our best to keep costs down by not creating unnecessary expenses and shopping around for the most affordable options.  Athletes and families can also do their own part to keep costs down by taking care of items such as mats, poms and signs and making installment payments on a timely basis so the program can take advantage of early bird discounts when registering for competitions.
