2020-2021 Tryout Update - May 26, 2020

General Precautions - The following precautions will be taken at all team practices, events, etc:

• Any drill, skill or conditioning that can be done with 6 feet of distance between cheerleaders will be done in this manner.  
• Coaches will have masks and use them as necessary.
• Hand sanitizer will be utilized at the beginning of tryouts/practice, between water breaks and any times deemed necessary.
• Cones will be placed around the edges of the practice area in order for the cheerleaders to know where to place their stuff (water, keys, pom poms, etc.) Cones will also be utilized when waiting in lines for warmups and tumbling drills in order to maintain 6 feet of distance between cheerleaders.
• Cheerleaders like to share pom poms, if someone forgets theirs, or water during breaks.  As a coaching staff, we will ensure that no sharing is allowed or occurring.

Parent Meeting - The parent meeting is planned for June 1, 2020 at 5:30 pm.  We are planning to offer this meeting as a virtual meeting.  If each candidate brings one parent plus coaches, we would be close to 50 and likely pushing the Governor's limits of 50 people. For this reason, we will hold this meeting completely online. We will send an email to all the parents whose student has filled out the application online.  If your child is planning on trying out and has not filled out the application, please have them fill it out as soon as possible.
