SEASON

NMS is a sideline cheerleading program and therefore all cheerleading squads will cheer for their respective football team during all regular and post season games. The regular season runs from August 1 through late October, with games being held typically on Saturdays beginning at the end of August. Games will be played either at our home field (Buffalo Creek Park) or at our opponent's field. The game schedule will be available in late July, prior to the start of the regular season

In addition, all competitive cheerleading squads will compete at AYC Cheer Competitions at the end of the regular season.  It is anticipated that these events will be held at the end of October and November.  If a team advances, competitions may continue into December.

RULES AND EXPECTATIONS

All NMS rules and expectations will be available prior to the start of the season. NMS will hold a mandatory player/parent meeting prior to the start of the season to discuss these rules and expectations. In addition, each team will hold its own mandatory player/parent meeting prior to the start of the season so that the coaches may introduce themselves and may go over their own rules and expectations for the season.
