CFA Football League 2008 Scholastic All-American Cheerleading Team Information

We should reward those league member cheerleaders who have excelled in not only as a cheerleader, but also in the classroom.  They should be named to a Scholastic All-American Cheerleading team of which all member teams may submit candidates for recognition.

The process of implementation should be in the simplest of forms and follow the same guidelines as the Football Scholastic All-American. All cheerleaders that meet the minimum requirements for consideration will be named to the team and will receive a special CFA Football League certificate for recognition of their achievement. The minimum requirements for this honor will be as follows:

Only members who were active rosters for a CFA Football League member team for the 2008 football season are eligible.

Roster cheerleaders must have been enrolled in a public or private school that does grade reporting on a 4 quarter marking period of which the marking period ends before the deadline date.

Cheerleaders who attend a qualified school whose marking period ends after the deadline may submit a special request to the CFA Football League for consideration after their respective grading period ends.

Only cheerleaders, who are in 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th grades are eligible.

Cheerleaders must have met the requirements of their respective school for selection to their respective schools Honor Roll or Distinguished Honor Rolls.

Cheerleaders, who attend schools that do not name an Honor Roll or Distinguished Honor Roll, must have maintained a "B" or 80% average in all classes reported, and no less than a "B" in any major subject and no more than 1 subject grade no less than a "C". Basically the Cheerleaders must have all "A’s" and "B’s" in all major subjects and can have one grade that is a "C" as long as it is not a major subject.

Coaches or a team rep must submit a photocopy of each candidate’s 1st marking period report card and a complete list of all their teams’ candidates no later than the deadline date set forth by the CFA for consideration.

Teams will receive their cheerleader’s certificates only after the CFA Commissioner has received their cheerleader’s report cards. Do not submit originals of report cards.

Teams may email the commissioner their list of candidates prior to submitting their report cards to speed up the certificate process, however, no team will receive their team’s certificates until they have submitted their candidate’s report cards.

Any member who has made their respective schools Honor Roll whose report card does not so state on it, must have a letter of verification submitted along with the report card from their respective schools principal. Schools may submit one letter naming all of their students or cheerleaders that have been named, but a copy of the students official first marking period report card must also be submitted with it.
