Frequently Asked Questions
What does the instructional fee of $325.00 cover?
This is a one-time fee and will cover the entire three (3) months of the program, including the instructional portion and
the performances. Your child will be taught by the best instructors and dancers in the country and will be able to have
more one-on-one interaction this year.
What does the $345.00 uniform fee cover and do we get to keep all uniforms?
The fee for the complete uniform package pays for the official Junior Redskins Cheerleader 1 piece cheer uniform ($140),
pom-poms ($30), official junior cheer shoes ($75), bow ($10) and the official junior warm-up suit ($90). Uniforms, shoes,
and warm-ups will be fitted at registration. All registrations are held at FedExField and Redskins Park. The uniform
package is yours to keep!
Is it possible to setup a payment plan to pay for the cost?
Yes. You will be able to break the payments into three (3) installments. The uniform fee for all locations (FedEx and
Satellite studios) is due at registration. The instructional fees for all locations will be due in two (2) additional payments
on August 29th and Saturday, September 19th.
When will my cheerleader receive her uniform?
Uniforms will be distributed as soon as they are available. Every effort will be made to provide the uniforms at least 2
weeks prior to the first performance, but is not guaranteed. Uniform fittings must be completed by Sunday, August 16,
2015 to ensure delivery by game day!
When will my cheerleader receive her participant’s t-shirt and music?
Music will be delivered via email after the first practice. This will ensure ample time to practice!! T-shirts will be
distributed with uniforms.
What if we can’t make it to a rehearsal?
You may miss rehearsals. However, per the NEW Junior Redskins Cheerleader Contract, it is his/her responsibility to
learn any material that was missed. We advise that the cheerleader contact another Junior Redskins Cheerleader to
learn any new choreography. If cheerleaders do not know the routine by the mandatory practice, they will not be
allowed to perform. If a cheerleader misses the mandatory rehearsal before a performance, she will not be allowed to
participate in that performance. The Washington Redskins Cheerleaders are not able to prorate the instructional fee for
any missed rehearsals or performances.
Are parents able to stay during rehearsal?
At the FedExField location, the participants will rehearse in the dance studio. Due to space limitations, parents will not
be permitted to view rehearsals. The viewing of rehearsals at satellite studios is at the discretion of each studio
director/instructor. Before each performance we will arrange for parents to view the mandatory rehearsal in order to
take pictures, videotape, etc. These rehearsals are 10:00am – 12:00pm for all ages at FedExField on designated dates.
Do the parents get tickets to the games?
No. Ticket packages with option to purchase will be made available to all parents and participants. The performances
outside the stadium, such as the parades, are available for all parents, family members and friends to attend. We will
provide DVDs of all three performances inside the stadium at the end of the season.
How will the Junior Redskins Cheerleaders get to the stadium?
Junior Redskins Cheerleaders without tickets to the game will meet in the Gray/Employee Lot at FedExField. The Junior
Redskins Cheerleaders will be led by our staff to the stadium and will be return to the lot after their performance. If
your cheerleader has a ticket to the game, she will meet a staff member at Gate C in the stadium. The exact time of such
meetings will be given at a later date.
Who will be watching my cheerleader?
There are several adult members of the Junior Redskins Cheerleaders staff, Redskins Cheerleaders Alumni, satellite
studio staff and Junior Cheerleader parents that will be responsible for supervising the Junior Redskins Cheerleaders.
