TEAM PLACEMENT
Team placement follows American Youth Football and Cheer National Guidelines. Per national rule book, the cut-off date for determining a participants age is 7/31 of the current year. Team placements are generally made in the May/June time period preceding the season upon analyzing the breakdown of ages of registrants. Team placement decisions will fall within the age ranges in the chart. While there is a field to choose a team, all placement decisions are made in the best interest of our program.
REQUIRED BONDS
The Hunterdon Huskies is a non-profit organization funded entirely by registration fees; fundraising and charitable donations. We are a championship caliber program that has earned national recognition for our performance both on and off the field and mats. We use high performance equipment and outfit our teams in uniforms that represent our culture and vision for excellence. In order to meet these high expectations, we ask each family:
-Volunteer during the season. We ask for a work bond (in the form of a check) prior to the start of the season that will not be cashed unless the volunteer hours are not fulfilled or the participants family decides not to volunteer (preferring instead to pay the cash). Work bond requirements will be provided prior to the start of the 2021 season.
-Provide a deposit for the equipment we distribute to your children. It will not be cashed unless our valuable equipment is not returned at the end of the season.
We WILL NOTbe collecting bond checks during the registration process. They will be collected just prior to the start of the 2021 season. Hunterdon Huskies policy mandates that both of these checks must be received before your child is allowed to participate with his or her team or receive equipment.
REQUIRED LEAGUE FORMS
Most of the fields in the registration will populate the required forms which must be turned in prior to the start of the season. Will will communicate with the person who registers the athlete directly via email. Please make sure your contact information is correct when registering.
2021 Parent Information
PLEASE START HERE.
We need everyone to provide information for parents/guardians of the child being registered. Information provided will auto-populate into the child registration for you.
Once you complete this section scroll down the page and begin registration for either cheer, football, or contender. This section is only for parent information and you will not be able to register a child for a program from within this section.
If you are a returning Huskies family, please confirm all of your information as what is listed is from last year's registration forms. If there are missing birthdates for your children please be sure to add them in.
Please fill out information for each parent or guardian in the event we need to contact both.

2021 Cheer (ages 7 and up)
Team Type: Competitive
Cheerleading is only open to ages 8-14 as of 7/31/21
Registration cost for cheer: $325
Per AYF national rules practice can start as early as the 4th Monday in July. Our competitive teams (D8 and above) will start on July 26th, unless you are otherwise informed. Practice will be held 4 nights per week for competitive teams. Once school begins, practices for all teams will be reduced to 3 times per week
Attendance at all practices is mandatory. As with any team sport, each cheerleader has an important role on the squad. Cheerleaders depend upon one another, especially in stunt work and the practicing of formations, transitions, and 8-counts. When one cheerleader is missing, the entire squad is adversely affected. Stunt groups cannot practice, and routines are difficult to perform. Please take this into account before making your registration decision, and if still choosing to register, please plan vacations accordingly. Excused absences permitted only for illness, family emergency, and religious education.
Cheer Accessories – Cheerleaders are required to purchase additional items to complete their uniform (sneakers, bloomers, midriffs, pants, socks, bows) - details about accessory purchasing are typically sent out in May, and purchasing for most items is through an on-line store
Choreography Requirements - Competitive cheerleaders are required to participate in Choreography practices. Dates to be set in the May/June timeframe. The cost of Choreography and related team expenses is typically $150 per cheerleader. The cost for 2021 will not be available until later this spring. This is a team expense and everyone on the team must pay. Checks will be due by July 30, payable to HBAA. As in the past, we are running fundraising opportunities that cheerleaders can choose to participate in, to help offset individual choreography costs.
IN ORDER TO SECURE YOUR SPOT: Payment must be received prior to the season starting. If, following your registration, we find that a Hunterdon Huskies Football or Cheer team is filled, your son or daughter will be wait listed, and you will be notified. Wait lists will be cleared as openings become available on existing teams or as new teams are formed. If your son or daughter is still wait listed at the start of the season, your registration fee will be fully refunded.
To more fully understand the commitment, please be certain to read our Huskies Cheer Policies before registering and factor this in to your registration decision.
