More Exhibition information

This will be printed and handed out to the team today (11.4.15) but I wanted to make sure you knew all the info that I know. If teams are to report between 4 and 5:30, I think that for nerves sake, it would be better to meet at 4:00. That way we can snack, stretch and run through counts before watching JV perform. The last thing I want to do is make everyone more nervous because we are running late. We will then go prepare for our warm up and performance. We will stay and watch Varsity perform. I would like for girls to stay for awards for support. We may be recognized, too, but I am not sure as we aren't competing for a score. Below is another reminder of the schedule.

Centennial League Cheer Championships 2015

Coaches notes:

1. Competitors and coaches should park in the South parking lot (Front Parking Lot closest to the theater and main entrance).  You will then proceed through the main door entrance to check-in. NO spectators will be able to enter through this entrance, only teams. Teams can start checking in at 4:00pm. All teams should check-in by 5:30pm. It is very important that only teams check-in here and follow the signs to registration.

2. Doors for spectators will open at 5:00pm. Please let all spectators know that if they arrive before 5:00pm they will have to wait outside! The cost for entry is $5 for adults and $3 for students.

3. Coaches must check-in at the team table where they will receive coaches’ passes, general information, and schedule. Please do not check-in until your entire team has arrived. A volunteer will then escort your team to their classroom. Family and friends are not allowed upstairs or in the team rooms at any time.

4. The competition will begin at 6:00pm and conclude with awards at 7:20.  JV Teams will face the student side of seating and Varsity will face the normal parent seating for games. Exhibition teams – please look on the attached time schedule to see which way you will be facing.

5. If the varsity team would like to watch their JV team compete they will need to wait outside the gym until their school’s performance. For that performance only they can sit on the floor by the spectator side at the conclusion of the performance they will need to return to their classrooms. The same rules will apply for JV teams watching their Varsity team.

6. At the conclusion of each division (JV & Varsity) teams should meet immediately in the Auxiliary Gym to line-up in order of performance and enter main gym for awards. A judge will meet coaches in the West Gym to review penalty sheets. These will be given to make coaches aware of any possible penalties given.

7. First through third place will be recognized in both divisions.

8. After the awards have been awarded for each division, a judge or tabulator will handout judges sheets and division summaries. Please come to the tabulation table to pick-up your score sheets.

9.  All teams should bring their personal items from the classroom down to the West Gym at 7:00 to line up for the parade of athletes and awards.  Please clean up your classroom area and return desks to original positions before you leave for awards.

opening pyramid

Hi team. We will be working on this pyramid today

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foMg_oecFwI

I want you to think about hitting extension (we have extra bodies as extra spots/front spot) and if we have to water down to elevator, we can. Learning the opening stunt concludes learning the routine. We will venture forward putting it all together and perfecting what we can.

See you today!
