ALL TEAMS: CHECKPOINT #1 PERFORMANCES!
As mentioned in our handbook meetings and listed in our handbook, we will be doing checkpoint performances these next couple of months! This is a chance for the athletes to perform and for you guys to come in and see what they have been working so hard on.
Our first checkpoint will be August 4th-6th.
How it will work: Parents will line up down the cheer hallway (the one past the women’s restroom heading towards the cheer floor). Coaches will let parents in to come in to watch. We ask that you keep this to 2 guests per cheerleader as space is limited. Once performances are done, parents and athletes will be released down that same hall.
Times:
Tuesday 8.4- Mini Moanas 5pm
Wednesday 8.5- Tiny Tikis 5:00pm Diamond Divas 6:15pm/ Gossip and Lady Ex 8:15pm
Thursday 8.6- Wish 5:00pm/ Believe 6:00pm/Dazzle 7:00pm/ Crush 7:15pm/ Ambition 8:15pm/ Reckless 8:30pm
ALL TEAMS: REGISTRATION FEE REMINDER
Reminder that our annual registration fee will be included with your August tuition at the end of this month.
ALL TEAMS: OBSERVATION VIEWING
As we get back to starting school and getting busier in the gym, we are kindly asking that team parents keep observation room viewing to a minimal to make space for our recreational athletes. Feel free to come in the next couple of weeks, but starting August 1st, we will need to keep that as clear as possible from team members.
We will be adding more classes with younger students that require parents to stay, so we will need all the space we can get.
This will also keep it fun for you to truly be surprised when checkpoints arrive! This makes those moments more special for your athletes and for you!
As we see when there is more space, we will do our best to assign times and days for you to come in.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!
