Week of June 5 - June 13

Hello, Cheer Families!

Here is the week upcoming:

Today:  Dakota Valley Elementary - JV be there at 3:45, Varsity arrive at 4 - wear Trail, blue skirt, any white bow.  If you have an extra white bow, please bring it to loan to the cheers who don't have bows yet.

CHANGE OF PLANS FOR SPLASH DASH!!! PLEASE READ BELOW!  IMPORTANT!

Because the weather may look like it won't cooperate, we will be chalking the route on Sunday immediately BEFORE the race starts so the chalk doesn't get washed away by any potential rain.  (This also saves you a trip and turns one day of the Splash Dash in to a two-point event, rather than 2 one-point events!)    Here is the plan:

Meet at Mark Twain Elementary tomorrow morning at 7:40 am.  We will pass out maps and divide the group up to chalk areas along the route.  If there are parents or varsity cheers who are planning to drive and can drive a group of cheers to the designated locations to chalk, that will be really helpful, so people don't have to walk.  By 8:45am we need to be in one of two places to cheer on runners for the race - one of those stations is a water station and we will help pass out waters, the other area is along a pretty brutal uphill section.

At the conclusion of the event, we will meet at Mark Twain to check out with me and you can be on your merry way!

Monday begins the official start to our summer workout schedule!

Bring, food, a fan and sunblock EVERY DAY.  They will be shutting off the air inside, and although I think we will be okay indoors with fans, if it gets too unbearable we will go outside.   I don't want anyone getting sunburned.  Try to organize who will bring a fan to practice, and we can keep them in the cage.  Just prepare for it to be stuffy inside.

Plan both emotionally and physically for these tough practices.

Again, choreo is scheduled at United Elite on June 25 and 26.  It will last all day.  Please make work arrangements NOW so you can be there.  I'm guessing we won't go much past 4 each day, but please plan well in advance for these two incredibly important days.
