Week of Oct 24 - Nov 2

Hi, families!  It's getting close to competition time!  I am so sorry for the delay on posting, but in trying to get out of town, things got too crazy to get a post in yesterday.

We don't know (and won't know until Monday at the earliest) when our mat time will be for Nov 2.  As soon as I know, I will send a Remind101 and post to the blog when I can.

We still also don't know when we will play our playoff game and if it will be Friday or Saturday.  As soon as I know, again, I will pass along the information to you.  We will make every effort to cheer the game, and I'm guessing it will likely be Friday night. For this and a few other reasons, we have decided to push back practice on Friday, November 1st to 4-5:30 pm for comp run-throughs. If there is a game, we will order pizza before the game begins.

This is a second reminder that we are not headed to Pueblo early in any official team capacity.  I know there are some families who may be getting hotels the night prior but the coaching staff will not arrive until Saturday the day of the competition. Keep in mind also that our mat time could be as early as first thing in the morning, or we might not go on until later in the day.  It all depends on how UCA seeds the teams.

Your cheerleader should have (hopefully) informed you that we added another practice on Monday, October 28th, from 8-11 am.  All cheers indicated they could make the practice and there were no time conflicts when discussed.  If this is the first parents are hearing of this, my apologies.  This extra time will give us the boost we need - full mat space and the opportunity to get one more practice in before we compete!  

Tomorrow's game is at Stutler Bowl.  Please be there at 6:15 to warm up and stretch.  See Coach Sarro for details.  It will probably be another chilly one!

Upcoming:

Reminder that November 6th is the Unified Banquet at 6pm.  Cost is $10, but Cheer will pay for the team to go.  Cheers, please let me know ASAP if you have a time conflict so that I don't pay for you to go.  Otherwise, please plan to be there.  Parents can attend at their own cost, but please RSVP to my email before Oct 30th.

Spirit for Change on Nov 9 has been moved to Nov 23.  (It's a much friendlier location, too - in Highlands Ranch/Parker area).  We will be doing another competition with the Denver Broncos on the 9th.  Winners of those divisions at the Nov 9 competition get to perform at a pre-game Denver Broncos game!

League paperwork and UCA paperwork are due!  Please turn in to Coach Sarro.

Have a great week and a restful fall break!  Get ready to compete!
