SPIRIT SPARKS!! Are You Ready To Rally??
We have two fantastically fun Pep Rallies planned for our 2010 football/cheer season!
1. Thursday, September 9th (before our 1st home game)
2. Thursday, September 21st (before Homecoming)
Your child’s coach will pass along the details about what time to report to practice those evenings and what time the pep rally will begin.
Come prepared to show your Raven spirit! Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to leave with a prize!
Spirit Sparks!! 2010 Practice Points!
March 10, 2010, Coach Karen, Cheer Director
In a sport where it’s more likely to see an athlete being thrown than a ball, safety is priority. The dress code isn’t just about looking uniform; it’s largely safety based.
Dress Rules for Practices:
* Cheerleader must wear lace up athletic tennis shoes (no ‘vans’ style shoes please – they do not offer the proper support)
* Jeans, cut-off shorts, overalls, and shorts/pants with exposed pockets are not permitted.
* Hair must be worn away from the face and off the shoulders.
* No jewelry. NO exceptions!
2010 Cheering registration fee is the same as last year, $100. Stay tuned for updates on uniform pricing.
Practices will be held Monday – Thursday, from 6:00 – 7:30 PM starting August 9th until the kids return to school. Any changes to the practice schedule will be relayed to you by your daughter’s coach. The practice schedule for regular season (once school starts) will be determined at a later date.
With the aerobic/physical intensity of the sport, it’s very important that you ensure your daughter has a water bottle at every practice and game!
Parents are asked to remain at the field during practices and games. If you cannot remain, you must have an adult present for your child and that you let your coach or Team Mom know in advance. This rule is in place for the safety of your child.
If you need to contact me at any point before or during the season, please feel free to email me at cheerleading@glenallenravens.net .
Lastly, I want to encourage you to enjoy this season with your daughter! I hope you will seize the many opportunities you’ll have to show your daughters that you have the Raven Spirit too!
