Why Storm Cheer ?
Storm Cheer exists to give girls the opportunity to cheer at Middle School and High School Basketball games. These events are typically reserved for students who attend brick and mortar schools. Why should they have all of the fun?! Our Storm Basketball team provides exciting events for homeschool families all across Central Oklahoma, building community and great memories!
​
Our cheer is different from competitive cheer. Our coaches want this experience to build relationships while also cheering with excellence.
Stronger Than Ever is our motto for this year.
As a game day squad, the time commitment for Storm Cheer runs from tryouts in late Aug/early Sept (based on schedules and facility availability) through the basketball season (which runs mid-Oct to early Feb). The organization hosts several non-mandatory events before tryouts. Since the program doesn't run all year, you have a nice long break from November to April to rest, pursue other activities, etc. We do continue to have social events as a squad.
​
​
**This is a team sport. A six-month committment is required of all participants.
Time Commitment
Fees and Expenses
Storm Cheer is a non-profit organization. All fees are used to cover expenses incurred to run the program. Board members are not compensated in any way for their participation. Coaches are professionals who are able to ensure the squad is not only learning cheers, stunting, and tumbling, but also have the utmost concern for the safety of the squad. They are paid for their expertise.
​
Tryout Fee: $25
This fee is required of all participants. If the student attended either cheer clinic, this fee is waived.
​
Yearly Fee: 2024 Estimation: $700
This fee covers the cost of professional coaches (who attend all practices, camps, games, and extracurricular activities), camp attire, insurance, UCA Camp, and facility fees. In the past, this fee was broken into individual parts and exceeded the cap of 700 we have set. The remaining costs are subsidized by monies made from Fall Ball.
​
Uniform Fee: Varies
For their first season, all cheerleaders will be required to purchase a uniform and the required gear including shoes, bag, poms, etc. This gear is purchased in total the first year and owned by the individual family. In subsequent years, gear or new uniform pieces may be purchased as they are outgrown or worn out.
​
Incidental Fees: Vary
Please check back as we gather information.
​
The cost of cheer pictures is NOT included in the yearly fee.
​
Payment:
A uniform deposit is due at the uniform fitting DATE TBD.
We missed tryouts for this year.
We are so sorry you missed the cut off! Of course, we want every girl to have a chance to be a part of Storm Cheer who is interested. However, we do have deadlines in order for our uniforms to arrive in time for the season and to have accurate numbers for Cheer Camp. If you missed the cutoff for the current season, please make sure to follow us on social media. We post all upcoming events so you won't miss anything in the future.
​
We would also love to see you at one of the games during the regular season. Games are a great place to see what our squad is up to, listen to the marching band and watch some basketball! See our Cheer Schedule Tab for the current schedule.
What do you have for my younger girls?
For our littlest future Storm Cheerleaders, we host a mini-cheer camp! Each student (5-11 years old) attends two practices, receives an honorary Patriot cheer t-shirt and cheers at a home game. Cost is $TBD for the week. Details will be announced on social media and this website as registration opens. ( Registration will be under the Clinics and Camps Tab)
​
This is always a fun way for younger girls to participate and meet the cheerleaders.
