WELCOME TO THE WINTER 2022 CHEER SEASON
Welcome to the 2022-2023 Winter Cheer Program
This year we are excited to offer a Showcase Division Team. These Athletes will practice weekly to polish and learn new skills. They will perform at a local Maryland competition and have a Showcase Finale for families and friends at completion of the season. This program is a wonderful introduction to competitive cheer but in a laid back and fun setting. Registration will be $225. This goes toward competition registration fees.
Our Select Winter Cheer tryouts will be held on September 25th and 26th at All Seasons Athletics. All athletes are required to attend. We welcome ages 5-14. Tryout times will be posted here mid-September and made available on our facebook page, “Severna Park Green Hornets Cheerleading”.
Winter Select is a very demanding season, lasting from November-March. All parents and athletes will be expected to sign a behavior and commitment contract in order to participate. Athletes have a minimum of (2x) practices weekly, with upwards of (3x) during competition weeks. Tumbling classes will also be incorporated into the practice schedule.

Our cheer registration has more than doubled since last year, but we need your help to keep growing our wonderful program! And as we are always looking to add experienced cheer and tumble coaches, we are more than willing to train anyone over 18 who is passionate about the sport. If unable to coach, we would certainly welcome your participation as a "Cheer Parent," a role that is especially crucial on our younger squads. Cheer Parents assist coaches at practice, games and facilitate communication with parents. If you are willing to help, I would love to hear from you!
Our teams worked incredibly hard this past season and were rewarded as such, bringing home many first place titles along the way. This year, with continued hard work, we expect to move up a division! With that in mind, we will be posting strength and flexibility drills, as well as sideline cheers, on our private Facebook group, "SPGH Cheer."
It has been an amazing first year for me as the Commissioner. I am constantly blown away by the dedication our coaches show these young athletes. It is truly an honor to serve them and our community. As always, if you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out.
Cheers,
Brooke Glasgow
