FAQ
You've got questions, we've got answers!
What is performance rec?
Performance Rec is a cost-effective alternative to All Star cheer. It is the All-Star cheer experience with a cheaper price and no USASF membership dues. Our teams compete a 2:30 routine at All Star competitions. There is stunting, tumbling, jumping and dancing. Scoring and levels are the same as All Star.
Can I play school sports and/or cheer for high school at the same time I am on this team?
Yes! Our teams are school-friendly. You will be expected to attend all of our competitions and adhere to our attendance policy. You will want to be sure your school sport is also willing to work with you on our schedule as well.
Do I have to live in a certain area to cheer for you?
No! Anyone can cheer for our teams. This gives you the opportunity to cheer with elite athletes from all over the North Country!
Do I have to have cheer experience or tumbling skills?
No! Here at the Stallions we accept any cheerleader regardless of skill or experience. You will be placed on a team that is best suited for your skill and age. Tumbling classes are not required but are highly encouraged. At this time, we do not provide private tumbling classes but all teams receive a tumbling lesson from our certified instructor during practices.
Where and when are practices?
We practice at the Redwood Fire Department. Practices will be determined by team placement and are subject to change due to availability. We WILL practice on Sunday and 1 night per week. Because the fire department allows us to practice there for free, we are subject to their schedule and our practice schedule may change every once in a while to accommodate that.
Do you offer fundraising?
Absolutely! In past seasons we have raised enough money to send all our teams and coaches to compete at Nationals at Disney World/Universal Studios/Orlando with no extra cost except spending money! If you fully participate in fundraising, you can keep your out-of-pocket expenses minimal.
Is there travel involved?
Yes, the majority of our competitions will require travel because of where we live. We will compete in Syracuse, Albany, Rochester, Pennsylvania,Ohio, etc. We try to keep all our competitions as close as possible, not counting the National end-of-year events. If you ask any Stallions Cheerleader or parent, travel is one of their favorite parts! And do not forget you can fundraise to help offset these costs!
What end-of-year events do we attend?
Our cheer teams will compete to earn bids to The ONE Global Finals (taking place in Orlando, FL. - if you are familiar with All Star this is the equivalent to The Summit or Worlds), Hard Rockin’ Nationals (Cleveland, Ohio) and Lake Erie Nationals (Lake Erie PA). All of these events are prestigious events that give out amazing prizes.
Dance teams will follow a different path and that is still being finalized.
How long is the season?
Our season runs August-late April/early May.
We will try to the best of our ability to avoid competitions during school vacations. There will be “vacation” time during Thanksgiving and again during the Christmas/New Year holiday.
What are team placements?
Team placements will happen at the beginning of June, before the parent meeting. Coaches will evaluate the skill level of all athletes on two separate days, and will then place athletes on the team that best suits the athlete and the team. Teams will be formed based on many factors such as: age, tumbling skill, maturity level, jumps, stunting & pyramids, dance and motions. The team placement process is not stressful, and we strive to keep in a fun environment! Everyone is placed on a team. If a younger athlete is more experienced, they could be placed on an older team more suitable to their skills. Keep in mind all Stallions Cheer teams are built to compete at a high standard and team placements are at the sole discretion of the coaching staff.
