Frequently Asked Questions
Explore some of our frequently asked questions to give you more insight into our program.
I have no cheer or tumbling experience. Can I still be on a competitive team?
Absolutely! All athletes will be placed on either an all-star or all-star prep team. If an athlete requires additional time to work on their skills, some athletes may be recommended for a pre-competitive or recreational program.
I cannot attend placement/try-outs. What can I do to get on a team?
We typically offer a “try-it-out” opportunity before we have our season registrations. If unable to attend these dates, please contact us by sending an email to airbournecheerathletics@gmail.com to discuss the options available.
My age fits into a younger division but I want to be on an older team because that's where most of my friends are. Can I be on the older team?
We strive to have well balanced teams in regards to both age and ability. If there is a team for your skills at your age division you will not be moved to the next division unless the coaches determine that a specific spot needs to be filled and if your year of birth fits into the allowable age range. Athletes should experience what it is like to be the youngest and the oldest on a team for a well-rounded athletic experience.
Is there summer training for all-star teams?
It depends on the season and the abilities of the athletes in our programs. If summer training is offered, please know that it is planned for with the utmost flexibility and in consultation with our families. If no summer training is being formally held, please do your best to encourage athletes to be physically active and safely work on skills (jumps, tumbling, motions, dance) so that they are physically ready to begin their season.
Why do we have to do fundraising?
Fundraising at Weyburn Gymnastics Club/Airbourne Cheer Athletics is MANDATORY for all athletes using the facility. As a Not For Profit organization, our club relies on Fundraising efforts to keep class fees low for our athletes. The club organizes a club-wide fundraiser either once per session or once per year (depends on the nature of the fundraiser). Other fundraisers are done throughout the season to help families offset their costs as well as help supplement our training (uniforms, practice gear, skills camps and clinics, equipment purchases, etc.).
What is the attendance policy?
Attendance at all practices is mandatory. We know that illnesses happen and things do come up; however, cheer is a team sport and missing one person affects everyone’s ability to practice effectively. Unavoidable absences MUST be communicated by a parent to the athlete’s coach as soon as possible to give coaches time to re-arrange practice plans. Athletes who miss more than three practices in one month may be moved out of stunt positions for safety reasons.
