This team especially created for the experienced cheerleader.  If you cheer for school, spring to fall is your busy time with school cheerleading. 

The ICA 1/2 year team is set up to help keep you in shape during the off season, after competing with your school team.  Alumni of ICA who cheer for school, are especially encouraged to attend this seasons 1/2 team tryouts.  At our new location.

Tryouts will be held on:

Sunday, Oct. 17th, 1pm to 3pm Lake Murray Gymnastics Irmo.
or Sunday Oct. 24, 1pm to 3pm Lake Murray Gymnastics, Irmo

This team will practice once a week as a team.  Members are encouraged to continue their tumbling classes, either with their school team, or are welcome to choose a tumbling class at Lake Murray Gymnastics  and pay Lake Murray Gym separately for the chosen class.

ICA tuition will be charged for the once a week practice.  Previously offered discounts will not apply to the 1/2 year team.  For this one day a week team, tuition will be $85 monthly.

This team will meet for practice once weekly for a length of practice between 2 and 3 hours.  It will be held on Sunday afternoons at Lake Murray Gymnastics, Irmo,  Meeting approximately 8 to 12 hours monthly.  Extra practices when needed may take place, but at no additional charge.

In addition to tuition, members will have a competition fee budget of $600 per team member.  This will be divided into equal payments.  Team members will have opportunity to fund raise for these expenses.  But will not be required to do so.

Choreography fee will be charged and maybe between $100-$150.

Every member of ICA must have sponsorship once.  Sponsorship fee is $200.  Members are given 6 weeks to acquire a sponsor through a local business or business' or family.  This fee is only paid once.  Sponsorship helps keep ICA members in uniforms.  ICA owns the uniforms, cheerleaders borrow them.  You may be charged rental fees in future years.  But again, sponsorship is paid only once.

Experience requirement:  Anyone who seeks a position of the 1/2 year team must have prior cheer experience good enough to perform on a level 3 plus team, or have not less than a back handspring in tumbling experience.  Running tucks, Standing tucks, Layouts or fulls are also good skills we would appreciate team members having for this team, but are not requirements.  Since the team practices together only once a week, we want the members to be fast learners.

Other things cheerleaders will need:  Shoes, bloomers, makeup....and are not limited to this list.
