Good morning, Parents!

CCPARD has been asked by our Youth Sports Parent Advisory Committee to explore the option of offering cheerleading during our Flag Football league and possibly another league.

As we explore the possibility of introducing a new recreational cheerleading program, we want to hear from our community! Before moving forward with a new program, several important steps must be considered to ensure we can provide a successful, organized, and affordable opportunity for local families.

Your feedback will help us evaluate the needs and support required for this program, including but not limited to: Program Cost, Volunteer Coaches, Practice Facility, Game Schedule, Uniforms and Equipment.

This could be an exciting opportunity for children to build confidence, develop teamwork, learn cheerleading skills, and show their community spirit while supporting our recreational sports leagues!

We cannot move forward without understanding the level of interest and support from our community. Please take a few moments to complete the Cheerleading Survey below and help us determine if this is a program our community would like to see offered.

Good Morning, Basketball Parents!

Coach rosters were released to approved coaches on Friday, October 9th . We are currently awaiting approval for several coaches and appreciate your patience as we work through this process.

If you have not received a call from a coach by Friday, October 16, please email [email protected] to request an update on your child's team status.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we prepare for the upcoming basketball season!

Thank you, CCPARD Staff
