Updates 7/23


Last Sign up: Saturday, July 26th 11am-2pm at Fair Oaks Park
This will also be a uniform fitting. Everyone who is signed up has been fitted. If you are not signed up and plan to, please be prepared for a uniform fitting.
There will also be a doctor in the house to conduct physicals. Cost will be $25 CASH ONLY. If you do not have your physical completed, I suggest to do it here. You're cheerleader MUST have a physical completed to practice August 1st.

Practice Schedule: Please note practice schedule listed on the right side of this blog. I will try my best to keep it updated. If it differs from what I have given out, please let me know so I can adjust. 

League Emails: This is helpful to create awareness of what is going on in the league. If any thing differs from what has been discussed by the Head Coach, please check as the Head Coach has final say on dates, times etc. The league emails are made to be general for all teams.

Conditioning Camp: The first month is definitely the hardest when it comes to conditioning. This conditioning camp is the perfect preparation tool for your cheerleader to start the season. New athletes to the camp will be discounting the last week (Monday 7/28- Thursday 7/31) to only $30! You would be amazed the advantage that 4 extra days of camp will do in preparing your athlete. 

Practice Clothes: Girls are REQUIRED this season to purchase 2 pairs of black cheer shorts and 2 plain white shirts. This can be found at Kohls or Sports Authority. They run roughly 5 dollars per shorts. Certain practices will require the girls to dress in this attire. Please plan to have them purchased by August 7th. 

Bring to Practice: I recommend Smart Water/Perfect Water/ or Gatorade. Something that contains electrolytes. This will help in preventing dehydration. I also suggest a Regular water as well. Especially during August because it gets HOT.

Healthy Snacks: Your child will not be allowed to bring junk food to practice. This includes Hot Cheetos or anything that isn't considered healthy. I suggest fruits, vegetables, etc. NO NUTS, we have an allergy. This is a safety precaution. If you bring snacks please double check the packaging of the factory they're made. 

Empty Water bottles: We will be using Water Bottles to fill with Sand for little hand weights. If you have empty water bottles, please bring them to the first 2 days of practice for us to turn into weights. 

Physicals: This is one of the most important paper works to have completed prior to August 1st. No Physical=No Practice

Cheer Shoes: Payless Shoes carries Smart Fit: Sizzle Tracks for roughly under $20. These are my preference for girls to have as practice shoes. As long as the shoes are comfortable for cross training in sports and they have arch support. I suggest smooth surfaced bottoms for stunting.

Cheer Attire: It is important for your cheerleader to have comfortable clothes that they can stretch and move around in. I suggest Shorts and a comfortable T-Shirt. In their bag, they should have sweats (Both sweatshirt AND sweat pants). The nights do get cold and we do not want girls getting sick.
No Nailpolish, no jewelry and be ready to practice once 6pm hits. Hair up etc.

Balances: I don't like to regulate this. This is my least favorite part of being a head coach. Because of this, I like to get them done and over with Prior to August 1st. Please get your balances paid off so that I can focus on the girls and developing their skills for nationals.

Please note that the team is going to be much bigger this year than last year and it will cause me to be much more straight forward and on point. Due dates and deadlines will be taken very seriously. Let's make this another stress-free season and GET IT DONE!
