Welcome to East Celebrity Elite Central
FALL FUNDAMENTALS
Our Fundamentals program is designed to give athletes the opportunity to attend a regular, weekly practice focused on the primary areas of cheerleading such as jumps, tumbling, motions, and performance.
NO TRYOUT REQUIRED! Athletes can be added mid-program and tuition will be prorated.
Weekly practices will be held on Tuesdays from 6:00-7:30. Practices will be held for 10 weeks, starting September 19th- November 28th (no practice on Halloween).
The cost for the full 10 weeks is $150.
2023-2024 HALF-YEAR TEAMS
Our half-year tryouts are coming up! Tryouts will be held on Friday, November 17th from 5-7p.m.
Our half-year program is designed to offer all-star cheerleading at a less competitive pace and lower price. Our half-year teams practice once a week and we attend local competitions. We offer the same GREAT coaching, choreography, uniforms, practice space, safety and skill level as our full-year program!
- WHO: Our half-year program is for girls and boys aged 5-18. No cheer experience is required.
- TRYOUTS: Team placements will be held Friday, November 17th from 5-7pm. Private evaluations are also available. Athletes will receive team placement via email by November 22nd.
- PRACTICES:There will be a parent information meeting (via Zoom) prior to the start of practices. Practices will begin the week of November 26th. Teams will practice either Tuesday evenings or Sundays for 1.5-2.5 hours (depending on age group). Days/times are assigned after tryouts. As we get closer to competition, there may be some weeks where practices are added to Fridays to prepare for competition.
- MONTLY TUITION: Tuition is $85/month from December – April.
- ADDITIONAL EXPENSES: 3 installments of $210 (includes registration, uniform rental, hair accessory, competition entry fees and coaches’ fees, choreography day and music). Installments of $210 are due December 1, January 1 and February 1. Team members may take tumbling each week for $10 per class.
- PRE-PAY DISCOUNT: We offer a $50 discount for families who pay ALL tuition and fees by Dec 15th
- FUNDRAISING: Fundraising is available and highly recommended. Funds raised can be used to pay for your tuition, fee installments and pro-shop items. We have an active fundraising program and current fundraising information is available by emailing foecec@gmail.com. Start fundraising NOW!
- COMPETITIONS: Half-year teams will compete 2/24 in Springfield, MA; 3/23 in Ledyard, CT; 3/30 in Kingston, RI and an exhibition event on 4/14 in Fitchburg, MA.
Team placement is based on age and skill level according to the USASF guidelines levels 1-6. You do NOT need gymnastics skills to be placed on a team. Try-outs are an assessment of current skill levels. All cheerleaders have an opportunity to advance teams during the season if their skill level improves throughout the year and as team needs allow.
If you can't make our tryout date on November 17th, you may register for a private tryout. We will contact you to set up a day/time that works for you.

ABOUT ECE CENTRAL
ECE Central is a family-owned and operated cheerleading and tumbling school. We offer classes and competitive teams for boys and girls of all ages and skill levels.
Too often, parents are forced to choose between enrolling their child in a cheer program that has high family values and teaches good character OR placing their child in a national caliber gym with excellent technical training and elite level choreography. You CAN have BOTH! ECE Central offers traditional values, positive role models, a family atmosphere, AND national recognition, incredible training and innovative choreography. We know that family is the cornerstone of every child’s character! Strong families make our athletes and our program better!
Family has always been at the center of our cheer philosophy: from the development of our program by three sisters, to our belief that each student is an extension of our “family”, and, nine years ago, becoming a member of the ECE group. We are passionate about sharing our love of the sport of cheerleading and we endeavor to provide a safe and fun experience to each of our students. Our goal is to help each student develop their full potential as an athlete while teaching them the importance of teamwork, commitment, and friendship.
Our success is not only measured by the number of banners and trophies on the wall, but by what each athlete takes from their experience here.
