• As of 9/28/21: MYCCA rule update – athletes that are registered on an All-Star team may now also be rostered on a Recreation Competition Team.
• Evaluations: Because of the number of cheerleaders that can be put on a team, Saco Parks and Rec will be holding evaluations. This will help us place cheerleaders on the most age/ability appropriate team. We reserve the right to cut if we feel necessary but will make every effort not to cut if we can place them on a team.
• Grades: Some grades have the potential to be placed on multiple divisions. Saco Parks and Recreation reserves the right to move athletes based on age and ability to best accommodate both the participant and team.
• Division Max: Each division must be maxed at 20 athletes per MYCCA and MPA guidelines. Wait lists will be available and possible second teams per division may be created if there is sufficient interest.

COMPETITIONS ARE A MANDATORY PART OF THE SCHEDULE. PLEASE NOTE THAT COMPS HAPPEN AROUND FEBRUARY VACATION. PLEASE PLAN FAMILY TRIPS ACCORDINGLY.
