EXPECTED CHEER COSTS

Cheer Shoes-$25-$45: All Teams must wear cheer shoes. If you would like to purchase before the season, Omni Cheer, Cheerleading.com Shopvarsity.com and Poshmark have reasonably priced cheer shoes. Just a heads up that most brands run 1-2 sizes smaller than regular shoes. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding shoes. They must be all white shoes specific to cheerleading. ** I recommend a shoe without mesh or fabric, they are much easier to keep clean. And NO Velcro
