| Parents, just a few friendly reminders that I've noticed at practices...
- Please send all athletes to the gym wearing bloomers and sports bras. Whether your child flies or not, everyone tumbles, and it just sets a more comfortable environment for everyone (esp. for our male coaches)!
- Also, please try your hardest to make sure all athletes are wearing cheer shoes. If you don't have a pair of your own, ask to borrow someone’s. It is very painful for bases to hold the bottoms of regular street shoes.
- Most importantly, please, please, *please* remind your children that the tumble track is off limits unless a coach is standing next to it. The past couple of weeks, we have had athletes waiting on parents, as well as friends/siblings, tumbling on it without a coach present. It is very distracting for the athletes on the floor and this is when injuries can occur. This is more of a safety issue than anything and we don't want any injuries, for anyone!
I also want to just throw in a "great job!" to every team! Everyone is working extremely hard and the teams are all coming along great! I personally cannot wait for choreographies to begin!... Just makes competition season feel that much closer! :)
