July 31 - Aug. 5

I hope everyone had a nice long break!  Starting on Tuesday we have a lot to do in order to be ready for football season.  The first football game is just a little over two weeks away.
A few reminders
1. Register My Athlete should have been completed by camp.  If your name is on the list below please check your account to see what you are missing.  Mr. Long our AD will not allow you to cheer at a game or perform at halftime until your registration is complete.  This includes your physical. If you turned in your physical and it shows it is still missing let me know.  Sometimes they just haven't been scanned into the system yet.  I can check with the school registrar. Remember you need a new physical every year.  https://www.registermyathlete.com/login/

2. Please make sure you are current with your cheer payments. Some of you are done paying and some will need to make a double payment on Tuesday because you missed the payment before break. 
3. Absences: The first half time was set the week before we went on break.  It took the whole week, which added up to hours of cleaning to set it.  We do not have time in the cheer schedule and it would not be fair to the girls who attended practice and put in all those hours of cleaning to redo it.  Remember you are only included in performances if you are there for the practices that it is cleaned and set.  This is not meant to be a punishment but a way to keep the team running smoothly.  There are time constraints and safety issues we need to take into account. All practices are mandatory. If you miss a practice the week of a game you sit out for one quarter per practice missed.  If you miss a game you sit out of a quarter of the next game.
4. Passing Off Cheers and Sideline Dances: This week we will have you pass off your cheers and sideline dances.  If you are struggling with any of them we will let you know which ones and let you try again next week to pass them off.  You need to know the cheers and sideline dances to be allowed to cheer at the games.

6/25-7/30

Great Job at Cheer Camp!
I know that you all are exhausted, sore, and bruised.  It is a long three days of pushing yourself to improve your skills but over the course of the three days we saw many accomplishments and improvements.  Way to go JD Cheer! This week we will concentrate on knowing the material you were taught at camp and cleaning it up so we are ready for the first football game that is only a few weeks after we return from summer break.  
Summer Break!
Over the summer break please try to keep your bodies conditioned and make sure you are reviewing all the material you have learned.  Keeping your bodies in shape will help minimize injuries upon returning to cheer.  You need to know all the cheers, sidelines and halftime dances to cheer at a game or be in a halftime performance so make sure you practice on your own or get together with teammates to review the material over the break. All the material will be put on the teams Dropbox.
Don't forget your payment before break!
We need these payments in the account to cover the rest of your uniform cost and to order warm ups for our new members. Below is a break down of how much you owe if you have not already paid in full.
If you are a returning team member that is not on the comp team you owe $125.00
If you are a new team member you owe $250.00
If you are a returning team member who is on comp team you owe $250.00
