7.9.15

I hope you had a restful break but you were WORKING - weights, running, etc.  You don't get stronger by sitting on the couch (unless it's a rest day.)  If you've taken a some time off, please get back in the swing of things NOW by doing burpees, running, sit ups, v-ups, russian twists, squats, and lunges.  Please do enough reps to make it a work out.  It shouldn't feel good until it's over.


You should have been learning from the cheer link on youtube... there will be a test! No excuses. https://youtu.be/AC_4iOUThCg

A few announcements: 

Parent gear is in!  We will pass it out at the first practice back at CT.

New mats are here!  In order to keep them in good shape, we will be changing the way we transport them through the halls.  Please be prepared for the changes and do not complain.  These mats will be here long after you graduate (our old mats came to CT when some of you were in the 2nd grade! There are 2nd graders who need these mats in good shape when they are 9th graders) and we must make them last.  On a side note, we have the best and safest mats in the league as of this second.  Yay!  If you see Mr. Carpenter, please say thank you.  This was largely funded by the athletics department.  We will also need to have a "mat chucking party" when we move the mats down to Fox Ridge - parents with trucks we will need some help on that transport process. Because 9/10 only purchased outdoor shoes, we must take care of our mats and our shoes so please be aware of how dirty your shoes get once we are outside more... no dirty shoes on the mat and you cannot practice without shoes. 

Please keep apprised to the calendar as a LOT of things are coming up and will sneak up on us very quickly.

FUNDRAISING & FINANCIALS: 

On July 13th, I need all unsold Rockies tickets. If you did not make the effort to sell them, you MUST make the effort to bring them back on MONDAY the 13th. If you do not bring it back by then, you WILL be charged the $50. 

1.  Unsold Rockies Tickets- DUE MONDAY 7/13/15 in the main office. 

2.  All money collected for Rockies Tickets- DUE WED. 7/15/15 at 10am fundraising meeting- this is the SNAP fundraiser meeting that will be 30-45 minutes at 10am. I know if it at an odd hour, but we had to try to accommodate all 55+ cheerleaders on all 3 teams. 

3.  The names of 20 VALID email addresses and phone numbers for our next fundraiser.  Yes, we are soliciting donations.  No, people do not have to donate but in order to maximize our return on donations, ALL cheers MUST participate.- DUE 7/15/15.

4.  I will have cheer balance sheets for you on Wednesday  - they will NOT include King Sooper discounts or Rockies discounts since we won't have them calculated yet.  Please plan to make a payment toward your cheer balance by July 23. - Especially for those who have no paid anything yet. No one has reached out to me regarding aplan, so until I do, this is the expectation for an installment, please. 

SCHEDULE:

Please note we are still only practicing two times a week. Fridays we are strictly tumbling/conditioning as the Elite instructor sees fit. Therefore, we will not tumble on Wednesdays. We will hunker down and prep for football games to come. These will be hard practices as we have a lot to cover with a short schedule. The expectation is that you are doing your own fitness routines outside of practice to remain flexible (so stretch) and cardio/weights for stamina and strength. We will not progress with stunts if we are not getting stronger. Period.
