registration information
Devils Cheerleading is the largest non-high school UCA cheerleading program in the area. The Devils program is open to all athletes in grades K-12, from any local high school sending district. Our program offers sideline gameday cheer and recreation competition cheer.
Our Nationals teams are try-out, premiere youth teams which compete locally, regionally and nationally from August to February. We are a Top-5 nationally recognized program each year at the UCA National High School Cheerleading Championships in Orlando Florida, which is the largest high school cheerleading championships in the country.
Please note, any athlete rostered on another school or cheer program during the same season year will be considered ineligible for Devils competitive cheer participation, regardless of whether the participation is classified as sideline or competitive. There is an exception to this policy if the athlete’s high school does not attend Nationals as a program. In this case, the athlete will remain eligible to participate with Devils. However, if a high school attempts to earn a bid to Nationals and does not receive one, the athlete will still be considered ineligible under the original policy, regardless of the Nationals division pursued (including, but not limited to Traditional or Game Day).

registration forms
Every athlete must hand in a completed Medical Waiver and Release form in order to attend the first practice of the season.
Every athlete must hand in an updated Universal Health Record.
Volunteering
As a non profit organization, Devils Cheer relies on the volunteer spirit of our community of families to successfully run our program and events in support of the organization. For the 2026 season:
Families with 1 athlete in the program (Grades K-8) will be required to complete 4 volunteer hours.
Families with 2+ athletes in the program (Grades K-8) will be required to complete 6 volunteer hours.
Alternatively, families can buy out of their volunteer hour requirements during registration for $300 for 1 enrolled athlete, and $400 for 2+ athletes.
Fundraising
There is one (1) raffle fundraiser for each Devils Cheer athlete during the season. The raffle is an event where athletes sell raffle tickets for a chance to win prizes. Prize examples from past years include a designer handbag, a Yeti cooler and gift cards. Each family is required to sell $200 worth of tickets for one athlete registered; families with 2+ athletes registered are required to sell $360 worth of tickets.
For athletes participating on the Nationals teams, there are additional fundraising opportunities to help offset the cost of that experience.
bond checks
A bond is a check that is held, but not cashed, as assurance that a specific action or responsibility will be fulfilled. We will collect separate bond checks prior to the start of the season according to your athlete’s grade level for the fall. Your athletes will not be able to participate in practice until all required forms and bond checks are submitted. The checks will be held until the end of the season, and not cashed, unless the family’s obligations are not met.
Fundraising (Grades K-12): The fundraising bond is meant to help ensure families meet the participation requirements for the in-season raffle.
Families with 1 athlete - $200
Families with 2+ athletes - $360
Uniforms (Grades K-12): The uniform bond is to ensure all uniforms are returned at season-end, cleaned and in good condition, beyond regular wear and tear.
$200 per athlete (additional bond checks may be requested for extended teams)
Volunteer Hours (Grades K-8 ONLY): As a non-profit organization, Devils Cheer relies on the volunteer spirit of our community of families to successfully run our program and events in support of the organization. Families with 1 athlete in the program will be required to complete 4 volunteer hours. Families with 2+ athletes in the program will be required to complete 6 volunteer hours.
Families with 1 athlete - $300
Families with 2+ athletes - $400
Alternatively, families can buy out of their volunteer hour requirements during registration.
Families are able to sign up for, change or drop volunteer activities through various sign ups that will be emailed throughout the season up to 24 hours prior to the date of the activity. Once within 24 hours of the activity, it is the family’s responsibility to find a replacement if they are unable to fulfill their volunteer commitment. Failure to do so and/or not showing up for a registered activity could result in forfeiture of the submitted bond.
