Wow! It's time to GO!!!
I hope you had a restful break but you were WORKING - weights, running, etc. You don't get stronger by sitting on the couch (unless it's a rest day.) If you've taken a some time off, please get back in the swing of things NOW by doing burpees, running, sit ups, v-ups, russian twists, squats, and lunges. Please do enough reps to make it a work out. It shouldn't feel good until it's over.
A few announcements:
You will ALL need to bring your rally skirts to practice on Monday, July 20th. Anyone who has a RIGHT SIDE triangle, you will be returning it on that day to exchange it for a left side triangle. If you don't have a skirt yet, don't sweat it.
I am finalizing the PO for the Varsity uniform (the company, not the team) on July 13. If you are not at practice on July 13 because of a pre-approved absence, I need you to confirm sizes and uniform pieces ordered, as well as confirm your white body liner size and rain jacket size. It is imperative that I get this information from you that day.
Please note that once school begins, there are some Wednesday MORNING practices on the calendar. If we have a Wed AM practice, we will not practice the Tuesday prior, but we will still attend UE in the afternoon.
Choreography is coming on July 27th and 28th from 9am-3pm at UE. Bring your own lunch on both of those days as we only break for about a half hour to maximize our time. We will eat together on those two days.
Parent gear is in! We will pass it out at the first practice back at CT.
New mats are here! In order to keep them in good shape, we will be changing the way we transport them through the halls. Please be prepared for the changes and do not complain. These mats will be here long after you graduate (our old mats came to CT when some of you were in the 2nd grade! There are 2nd graders who need these mats in good shape when they are 9th graders) and we must make them last. On a side note, we have the best and safest mats in the league as of this second. Yay! If you see Mr. Carpenter, please say thank you. This was largely funded by the athletics department. We will also need to have a "mat chucking party" when we move the mats down to Fox Ridge - parents with trucks we will need some help on that transport process.
Please keep apprised to the calendar as a LOT of things are coming up and will sneak up on us very quickly.
On the first day back (July 13) please bring to United Elite the following:
1. Unsold Rockies Tickets
2. All money collected for Rockies Tickets
3. The names of 20 VALID email addresses and phone numbers for our next fundraiser. Yes, we are soliciting donations. No, people do not have to donate but in order to maximize our return on donations, ALL cheers MUST participate.
4. I will have cheer balance sheets for you on Wednesday - they will NOT include King Sooper discounts or Rockies discounts since we won't have them calculated yet. Please plan to make a payment toward your cheer balance by July 23.
