May 16 - May 22

Homework
I hope everyone is doing their homework!
We will increase the reps by five each week.  Make sure you are completing the list below every day.
Week #1
5 push ups 
5 V-Snaps
15 second plank
3 of every Kick and jump
The stretches Coach Mackenzie led you in on Saturday
It is very important that you are working on good form. 
If this is easy for you, increase your reps on your own to challenge yourself but make sure you are still concentrating on form. :-)

Wednesday 5/18
Practice is moved to Friday due to the spring dance concert which was resulting in many team members informing us they would be absent.
Friday 5/20
Practice 5:30-7:30pm
Please meet in the Great Hall.  You will learn mini cheer clinic material, finalize the festival performance, and have a team meeting. As a team you will set a mission statement and the expectations for summer and next school year.
Saturday 5/21
Call time is 9am in the Aux gym
Wear a Juan Diego shirt and shorts in Juan Diego colors if you have them.  If you do not have a JD shirt then wear school colors or ask to borrow one from a team member.  Your hair should be slicked back in a high pony with your white cheer bow.  The mini clinic ends at 12pm.  I ask that you stay until most of the children have been picked up.  It should only take a few minutes to get them safely to their parents.
Sunday 5/22
Call time is 11am in the Great Hall.  Wear the same thing you wore to safety clinic.  We will talk about hair on Friday.  The performances start at 12:45pm.  You should be done by 1:30pm unless the festival performances are running behind.
Second Cheer Payment
Your second payment of $300 is due by Sunday.  Camp wear was ordered with the first payment.  Uniforms will be ordered with this payment.  I do not want to delay ordering your uniform.  It is a busy time of year and Varsity can take up to six weeks to make them.
Practice Schedule

This schedule is tentative and can change at any time.  If a change is necessary we will give you as much prior notice as possible.  Some bonding, fundraising, and social justice dates still need to be added.

Change in practice time this Sat. 4/30/16

I apologize for the short notice but we must change our practice time this Saturday.  Utah Xtreme Cheer forgot they were having their yearly parent meeting during our tumbling time.  We also have several girls taking the Aspire test.  They have until 12pm to complete the test.  Because of all this our practice time will be from 12pm-3pm at Utah Xtreme Cheer.  
8531 So.  700 W., Unit D ( inside Williamson lot)
At this practice we will be setting our stunt groups for safety clinic.
Don't forget your completed waiver and credit card form or $10.

March 14 - 19

UXC Tumbling open to those trying out for JD Cheer in April
There are only four Wednesday tumbling sessions left before tryouts
The cheer account is being closed out so you must pay $10 to Kory each time you attend tumbling.  The  school will cut the final check to Kory this week to close out our account with him for the year.  I will no longer be able to pay Kory through the cheer account.
Tumbling at UXC is not mandatory in March and April but highly recommended  for those who plan on trying out for JD cheer in April.  You will need to bring $10 each time you attend.  New girls and boys planning on trying out for JD Cheer are also welcome.  They will need to go to the UXC website, print off the waivers,  and have their parents sign them if they have not already done so.  If they are not a member of UXC there is also a registration fee.  All the info will be on the website.

Exit Interviews
The coaching staff will hold a meeting with the new team shortly after it is chosen to get input and ideas for next year but if you would like to meet with us before tryouts we are offering exit interviews. It is not mandatory but if you would like the opportunity to privately meet with us before tryouts this is your chance.  Our first available date is Thurs. March 17, after school in Coach Kara's classroom.  We are able to hold individual meetings that day starting at 3:15pm.  We will add dates next week if there is a need for them.  Text me if you would like to schedule a time to meet on Thursday. Thanks! 

Seniors 
If you would like to help with tryouts this year we will set up a couple times to get together after spring break to learn tryout material and set up a plan on how to best teach the candidates. As it gets closer to the dates I will reach out to see who would like to help. :-)

Pep Assembly
I am waiting to get information from student government as to their plans for the last pep assembly.  If we are performing we will hold practices the week of April 10th to get ready for it. 

The end of year banquet is being planned for mid April.  Information will be given when details are finalized.

St Patrick's Day Parade

The St. Patrick's Day Parade is Saturday morning.  I know it is a long weekend and some of you may be out of town.  Please text me ASAP whether you are able to attend or not.  Thank You!

Competition Team

Congratulations to our competition team who took 2nd place out of ten teams in their division at JAMZ Nationals.  It was a great way to end competition season!

Spring Sports

Basketball and cheer competition season are over but the team still has a couple obligations along with the fact that JD has a number of spring sports to support.  Spring sports are not cheered for on the sidelines like football or basketball but that does not mean we can't come together as a team and cheer them on from the stands. Please continue to read the weekly blog updates.  I know this time of year is typically light for you.  I am looking for the team to attend just one or two home girls lacrosse, boys lacrosse, soccer, baseball, and softball games.  If you have friends on any of these teams talk to them and let me know if there is a game they would really like some extra support.  We can get the info out and hopefully get a group together to cheer them on.  Thanks!

UXC Tumbling

Tumbling at UXC is not mandatory in March and April but highly recommended  for those who plan on trying out for JD cheer in April or any of our seniors trying out for college cheer.  You will need to bring $10 each time you attend.  New girls planning to tryout for JD Cheer are also welcome.  They will need to go to the UXC website, print off the waivers,  and have their parents sign them if they have not already done so.  If they are not a member of UXC there is also a registration fee.  All the info will be on the website.

UXC Past due balances

Wednesday I will get account balances from Kory so you are paid in full for tumbling this season.  As stated above from now on you must bring $10 each week to tumbling until the new team is selected.  In the mean time I need everyone to get caught up on past balances due.  If you do not have them paid off soon you will be put on the fines list.  If you are on the fines list you are not able to take your finals.  Kory gives us a great deal!  We need to make sure he is being compensated in a timely manner.  Thank you!

The end of year banquet is being planned for mid April.  Information will be given when details are finalized.
