2024/2025 Cheerleading Registration is Still Open Until July 29, 2024!

Posted June 1, 2024

This upcoming season we are only offering competition cheerleading for boys and girls ages 5 to 12.  Practices will start in August 2024 and will be held at the Rockledge Community Center.  We generally practice two (2) times per week.  At this time practice nights could be on Wednesday nights (12u), Thursday nights (8u), and both teams practice on Sundays in the morning or afternoon. Practice days may change due to gymnasium availability.   Most competitions will be local (within 30 min of NE Philly).  We may do our last competition in Wildwood, NJ.  In addition, we plan to participate in a UCA stunt camp which would be paid for by each individual cheerleader.  Registration cost is $50.00 and you will need to purchase a cheerleading uniform (approximately $150.00) and cheer sneakers.  We will offer fundraising opportunities to help offset the cost or obtain the uniforms for free!  

Cheerleading registration is now open for those with birthdate range from 8/31/2011 through 9/1/2019.  The costs is only $150.00.  Registration will close on Sunday, June 30 at 11:45 PM!  The first practice will be held on the week of July 31

Please direct all questions concerning cheerleading to Carrie Keeley, our Director of Cheerleading, at [email protected] or via telephone at 856.278.5802.

To register for any sport with the Fox-Rok Athletic Association go to www.foxrokaa.com and click on “Register” that is located in the upper right hand corner of our home page.   You will then need to click on “Create New Account or “Login” if you have already created an account.  As a reminder, you must first have an account before you can register your child/children.  The process is easy.  
 

Once you have created an account, you then need to list your child/children before you can choose a program to play in.  Select “Add Participant.”  Enter the child’s name and complete all of the required fields.  If you have more children to register, don’t select “Next.”  Select “Add Another Participate.”  Once you have added all of your children you should select “Next.”

After you have entered all of your children only then will the system allow you to select the available program for that child or children.  Make your selection.  Continue to complete the necessary fields until you have completed your order.  You will receive an email confirmation after you have successfully completed the process.           

After the first time you register your child/children the system will remember your information!  You will only need to update a few lines as opposed to starting from scratch when registering for all other Fox-Rok sports.  

Please note, if you want to coach or volunteer in any way you must create an account online and state your interest.  The program is set up to ask if you have a desire to volunteer and in what role.   

To get on the mailing list you must create an account online.

Concerning Registrations!

Registration cutoff dates are established mainly to ensure that uniforms and the necessary equipment needs can be identified and ordered in time to be received before the start of the playing season.  This is the case for each sport offering at Fox-Rok A.A.  Occasionally we have situations where we may require additional players to prevent a team or teams from folding and will solicit players by posting these openings on our website.  That is the only time we will accept registrations after the established cutoff date.  This website provides ample notice time for registration of all sports.  On our website, at the top of each sport page, it states the month of when registrations are held and the duration of the season.  It is provided for your planning purposes.  Next registration for football will be held online in the month of June.

A Letter From Our Director of Cheerleading!
Posted June 19, 2020

Dear Fox-Rok A.A. Members,

We are gearing up for Fox Rok Raven's 2020-21 cheerleading season.  Although because of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, we are unable to officially open registration until we have a definite start date for practice, but to help us plan, we are asking you to complete the Goggle questionnaire document if you are interested in cheerleading for your sons or daughters.  You may send the completed form to [email protected].  This will help us to plan and form our teams as well as provide us a way to contact everyone when registration opens.  This questionnaire can be found here:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1TchwyHnyVI_3Rn8dDWeZ5fWmtL0L4actpX6l1GJVN0c/edit 

Cheerleading is available to boys and girls ages 5 through 12.  Our season typically starts in July and ends in February, but due to the virus this year, we will have a delayed start.  We will start when it is permitted by the State and Local COVID-19 regulations.  We offer optional private tumbling classes in addition to cheer.  If we are able to have a sideline season, cheering for football, we will offer a sideline only option again.  Our sideline season consists of cheering at home Fox Rok football games (about 3 or 4 games) and includes our Homecoming game.   Sideline season typically ends in October/November.

If you are interested in competition cheer we compete in about five (5) competitions from December through to February.  Most are local, last year we have the opportunity to compete in a weekend long competition in Wildwood, NJ.  

Our fees are generally around $100.  The sideline only fee will be less, but the price could vary depending on our season.  Last year the sideline fee was only $75 and you receive a bow and a tee shirt. Uniforms cost around $75 and we try to fundraise for those who are interested to offset the cost of uniforms. 

Sincerely,

carrie rysak
