LEVELS
There are 5 levels (for regular teams) this season. The “level” refers to the type of stunts, pyramids, and tumbling that a
team can safely perform. They are numbered from 1 to 5, in increasing difficulty. The level is determined solely by the
coaching staff.
PLACEMENT
There may be athletes on any given team that tumble at a different level than the rest of their teammates. We try to match
up the athletes by level as best we can, but please remember that stunting, pyramids, jumps, dance, motions, and age are
huge factors as well. Some will be stronger tumblers than others. Some will contribute more with stunts than others. We
choose our team based on the positions that we need to fill for each team (Bases, flyers, tumblers, etc.) Every athlete is on
the team for a reason — please trust the staff. Our teams have always done very well.
PROCESS
The try out process is very casual and fun! The athletes demonstrate Jumps, Tumbling Skills, and possible Stunting. They
also meet the staff and new friendships are formed. We evaluate the athletes in groups and encourage each person to do
their best!! Everyone is placed on a team no matter what! After tryouts, the staff will pick teams based on their discretion.
Many key elements factor into the decision. Keep in mind ALL ICE® Teams are built to compete at a high level.

TESTIMONIALS
“I would not be living my dream of cheering on the best college squad in the nation, if it was not for my All Star
coach, Darlene Fanning. She not only taught cheerleading skills, but also important life lessons. At ICE®, I
learned about hard work and dedication, made lifelong friendships, and learned to never, ever give up. Follow
your dreams, ICE® is an amazing program that will help make them happen!!”

an email within 24 hours of the announcement of teams,
please call the front desk for assistance or email your
location immediately.
When will my child get their uniform?
Each location will have a fitting date scheduled during the
summer with a Varsity or GK Representative. There will
be sizers that each athlete will be able to try on to ensure
proper fit. The earlier in the summer you order, the
earlier in the season you will get your child’s uniform.
Example: Uniforms ordered the end of June typically are
handed out by early September. Make sure if your child
is joining late, you get a uniform ordered immediately!
What if I can’t tumble or have never cheered before?
Does this mean I am not going to make a “good ”
team?
No. All of the teams at ICE® All Stars are “good” teams!
Everyone has a place here. Tumbling and previous cheer
experience are not requirements needed in order to try
out. It is something you will learn with your staff.
When is Choreography Camp and Choreography for
all ICE® teams?
Summer choreography/skills camp for all full year teams
will occur in June. Attendance at these skills camp is
mandatory.
Each team has 2 days of camp for 3-5 hours each time
frame. Exact time/days will be emailed to athletes when
the team rosters for the new season have been established.
When do we find out our practice schedule and what
team we made?
Teams will be decided after the final try out date. Emails
will be sent to all athletes with practice days/times as well
as the team the athlete has made. You must create an
account online prior to try outs. If you have no received
What if I can’t make try-outs ?
A private tryout can be held. Email the address listed
under your particular location to set up a day and time for
a private try out.
What is a TEAM Rep?
A Team Rep is a parent who is the liaison between the
coach and the parents. There is one rep per team. The rep
is in charge of meeting the team at competitions, handing
out wristbands, and assisting with team functions and
communication. Team Reps are not involved in gym
decisions, coaching or accounting issues.
What if I am not ready to make a commitment to
travel that much during a given year?
ICE® is now offering Rec teams! Rec teams only
compete 4 times a year and practices are limited to 2
times a week with no weekend practices. ICE also offers
Half Season/Quarter Season teams and more information
will be available in November/December for those teams.
This is a great option to start into the program.
“The skills that I have learned through ICE® have not only made me a better cheerleader, but a better all-around
person. From ICE® I’ve gained perseverance, dedication, and loyalty. My five years there have helped me to
make the transition into collegiate cheerleading. Darlene has always pushed us to be the best and that has shown
through cheering for Ball State. ICE® has been and always will be a second home to me.”
~ Aly Holm ’03-’09, Ball State University Cheerleader

Do not make assumptions about
anything. Always ask.

will place him/her to a noncompetitive program, such as a
class, until improvements are
made. Until then, a replacement
will be put in position.

unless it is an emergency. The
staff needs to have their
personal time away from work.
Thank you in advance for
respecting this rule.

be turned off once practice
starts.

All clothing and belongings
must be stored in the cubbies,

Always be an example of good
sportsmanship, positive conduct
and professionalism at all

Practices
 There is a viewing area designated for all parents/friends. Parents/friends are asked to stay in that
designated area and not come into training area. We want your child to get the most out of every practice.
In order for this to happen, we need their full attention. If there are distractions, the whole team is affected
and may also become a safety issue. Coaches may close practices at any time for any reason.
 If a parent or anyone is observed speaking negatively about a team, coach, parent, or cheerleader, he/she
will be talked to and/or asked to leave. If this kind of behavior continues to be an issue, the child will

Member Form and Waiver
PARTICIPANT AGREEMENT, RELEASE AND ASSUMPTION OF RISK
In consideration of the services of ICE®., its owners, agents, officers, employees, and all other persons or entities acting in
any capacity on their behalf (hereinafter collectively referred to as “ICE®”), I hereby agree to release, discharge, and hold
harmless, on behalf of myself, my children, my parents, my heirs, assigns, personal representative and estate as follows:
1. I understand and acknowledge that the activities that I or my child engage in while on the premises or under the auspices of
ICE® pose known and unknown risks which could result in injury, paralysis, death, emotional distress, or damage to me, my
child, to property, or to third parties. The following describes some, but not all, of those risks: Cheerleading and gymnastics,
including performances of stunts and use of trampolines, entail certain risks that simply cannot be eliminated without
jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. Without a certain degree of risk, cheerleading students would not improve
their skills and the enjoyment of the sport would be diminished. Cheerleading and gymnastics expose participants to the usual
risk of cuts and bruises, and other more serious risks as well. Participants often fall, sprain or break wrists and ankles, and can
suffer more serious injuries. Traveling to and from shows, meets and exhibitions, raises the possibilities of any manner of
transportation accidents. In any event, if you or your child is injured, medical assistance may be required which you must pay
for yourself.
2. I expressly agree and promise to accept and assume all of the risks, known and unknown, connected with ICE®-related
activities, including but not limited to performance of stunts and use of trampolines. My participation and that of my child is
purely voluntary. No one has forced or coerced me or my child to participate. I elect for myself and my children to participate
in such activities in spite of the risks.
3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge, and agree to hold harmless and indemnify ICE® from any and all liability,
claims, demands, actions or rights of action, which are related to, arise out of, or are in any way connected with my child’s
participation in ICE® -related activities.
4. Should ICE® be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce this agreement, I agree to indemnify and reimburse
them for such fees and costs.
5. I certify that my child has health, accident and liability insurance to cover bodily injury or property damage that may be
caused or suffered while participating in this event or activity, or else I agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage to my
child. I further certify that I am willing to assume and bear the costs of all risks that may arise or be created, directly or
indirectly, through or by any such condition.
6. In the event that I file lawsuit against ICE®, I agree to do so solely in the State of Indiana/Illinois and I further agree that
the substantive and procedural laws in that state shall apply in any such action without regard to the conflict of laws rules
thereof. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found void or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in
full force and effect.
7. By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during my participation or the
participation of any of my children in this activity, I may be found by court of law to have waived my right to maintain a
lawsuit against ICE® on the basis of any claim from which I have released ICE® by signing this Agreement.
I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read it and understand it. I agree to
be bound by its terms.
