Wake Forest Titans Cheerleading
Wake Forest Titans offers a great cheer opportunity for girls who want to cheer for a team and also participate in exhibitions or competitions.
The Titans Cheer program is still in need of coaches - volunteers make our cheer program one of the best so please contact Karen Neal, Wake Forest Titans Cheer Commissioner, at kneal4@nc.rr.com if your are interested in helping the cheer program.
Non-Competitive Cheerleading (Flag, Tiny Mite and Mitey Mite divisions) is offered to girls ages 5-9. Competitive Cheerleading (Junior Pee Wee and higher divisions) is offered to girls 8-15. Girls will be placed on a team in the appropriate division based on age (as of July 31, 2008), experience and the number of girls registering.
The younger cheerleaders at the Flag, Tiny Mite and Mitey Mite divisions do not participate in competitions but do have an exhibition with other cheer squads in the Consolidated Football Federation (CFF).
Cheerleaders in the Junior Pee Wee division and up compete at the local (CFF) level for the opportunity to advance to regional and national competition.
 The cheerleading squads are assigned to football teams and accompany them to ALL their home and away games—INCLUDING post-season play at invitational bowls and regional/national competitions. The cheerleaders cheer during the games and also perform at halftime.
All athletes must submit a 2008 physical form (click here to download form) and a 2008
player contract (click here to download contract.
What to Wear to Practice
Cheerleaders should wear shorts, t-shirts and athletic shoes. Don't wear jewelry or nail polish. Eyeglasses must be secured with a fitted strap. Bring a water bottle filled with water.
Practice Times:
Practice for the 2008 season will start on August 4th at Camp Kanata. The younger squads typically practice 2 days a week from 6:00-7:30pm. The older girls typically practice 3 days a week 6:00-8:00pm. However, these times may change at the discretion of the coach.
Games
All regular-season games are scheduled to be played on Saturdays. We typically do not receive the game schedule until a couple of days before the first scheduled game, and there are frequently changes made to the schedule immediately after that. We do not have any control over the schedule. We realize that this can be frustrating, but creating the schedule is very complex. We will let you know what the schedule is as soon as we get it from the Consolidated Football Federation (CFF). We do play games on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, so plan on being here. The regular season generally runs through October. The Flag, Tiny Mite and Mitey Mite divisions usually concludes its their season with an inter-league "bowl" game at the end of the season.
Teams in the Junior Pee Wee division and older are eligible to compete in post-season competition based on their win/loss record. Post-season competition may include regional and national championships and/or invitational bowls which can run through Thanksgiving or into December, if a team goes on to nationals. Each year, the Wake Forest Titans have teams eligible to participate in post-season play. Cheerleaders must accompany their teams to all games.
Competitions
The CFF cheerleading competition (Junior Pee Wee and above) will be held in October, date TBA. Winning teams advance to Mid-South regional competition to vie for an opportunity to go to the national competition at Disney World. The National competition is usually during the first or second week of December in Orlando.
Tiny Mite, Flag and Mitey Mite cheerleaders participate in the CFF Cheerleading Exhibition in September.
Uniforms
Uniforms are provided to cheerleaders. Cheerleaders are responsible for paying for other accessories such as shoes, socks, turtlenecks, hairbows, and briefs. All uniforms must be returned, clean, at the end of the season. Note that we do our best to accommodate each child's size, but we must work with the inventory we have.
You may purchase your accessories from TuTu’s Dancewear in Wake Forest.
