ALL TEAMS: SPIRIT SALE ENDS FRIDAY, AUGUST 23RD!!!!
Our Annual Spirit Sale is HERE!!!!! You won’t want to miss out on these amazing items!!!
Our 2024 Spirit sale will is live!!! The sale will be open for 2 weeks and close on August 23rd. Reminder that we do not order many extras, so if you see something you like, ORDER NOW, as we will not take additional orders once the sale closes.
ALL TEAMS: DROP OFF AND PICK UP
We are having some issues with multiple athletes arriving very early for practices. While we appreciate your promptness, we do have a lot going on in the gym on weekdays. Please follow the rules below!
- Athletes should not be inside the gym more than 10 minutes before their practice time begins- This includes being in the common area of the restroom. This is for their safety!
- Signs have now been posted to keep our bathroom areas technology free. We have had athletes making videos in our public restrooms, which is a privacy issue and makes it difficult for customers to wash their hands, do children’s hair, change diapers, etc.
- When athletes arrive for their team practice, they need to come onto the cheer floor and sitting on the white line by the cubbies. Again, no more than 10 minutes. If they need to eat, they can do so in the observation room before practice begins.
- Shock, Dynamite, Intense and Gossip; you will be allowed to gather in the Mini Gym (the old childcare room) no more than 10 minutes before practice. Coaches will come get you when practice is ready to begin!

ALL STAR: ELITE FLYER TRAINING
We will be doing things a little different this season for our Elite Flyers. We will be doing 15-minute training sessions at the end of weekday practices (schedule listed below). This will focus on strength training to hold body lines, flexibility, stability and choreography. If at any point we feel your top girl needs additional training, we may require private lessons and/or clinics. We will also be doing a flyer BAND to keep track of progress. This will be made during their first session.
