About BYS The competitive cheerleading season runs from September through April and is available for athletes ages 6-18 at Level 1 (Opals) or Level 2 (Diamonds). Level 1 & 2 teams will compete at several local competitions and compete for a bid to Nationals! Practices for competitive squads are mandatory. Athletes ages 3-6 may join our compeition prep team (Pearls) which runs from January through March. Practices are held at the Brookville YMCA Cheer & Gymnastics gym at 3408 Route 322 in Brookville (old Farmer Smith’s Greenhouse building).
How to Join Please contact us via Facebook Messenger or email if you are interested in joining. Tryouts will be at the end of August for placement on a competitive team. Due to the nature of the sport, we are not able to add athletes to competitive teams after they have been assigned. Athletes who are interested in joining mid-season may join our practice team. Information about tryouts, Pearls, practice team, and off season open gyms will be posted on our Facebook page.
Tuition to the Brookville YMCA is due by the first practice of each month. Monthly tuition for competitive and practice teams is $30/Y members $40/non-members. Tuition for Pearls is $60 and due by the end of the first practice. Financial assistance is available for Y memberships and tuition ~ please ask for the form at the YMCA desk. If you have more than one child enrolled, each additional child receives $10 off tuition. Estimated additional costs for teams and fundraisers will be discussed at the parent meeting at the start of the season.
