JV Cheer Calendar

Cheer Practice next week (Finals week, May 24 to May 28)

.
Reminder:
JV does not have practice next week due to finals. (Also, no practice the first week out of school.)

However, Meagan will be holding a varsity practice next Monday and Wednesday from 4-5pm. Meagan is the varsity assistant coach. They will be working on cheers and dances. All of JV is invited to attend these practices, and new cheerleaders are encouraged to attend. I am aware that many of you have tumbling practice on Mondays, so you will probably only want to go on Wednesday. (Also with only one final on Thursday, hopefully you can fit in a quick hour of cheer.)

Photos posted today on Flickr

.
I took some pictures today at our first mandatory practice. These photos are streaming to the left.

Great practice, by the way. We have one solid liberty in the air at this point, and we are working 2 more. They are in the "almost there" stage.

I have loaded some low-resolution images to Flickr at this point. I will put up higher resolution copies later in case people want to make prints.

This Flickr account is available in the permanent pages at the top of the screen.

First Mandatory Practice Tuesday, May 18

.
Unofficial picure day:

The first of only 2 mandatory practices that we will have before next fall is this Tuesday, May 18th.

Please wear your gold "COYOTES" t-shirt and black "MOHI" soffe shorts to practice so we can take some group photos for the website. Also wear your new shoes. (if you were absent on Thursday, I will bring these and your poms on Tuesday.)

I will be handing out the T-shirt and shorts at practice to anyone who ordered them. (All new cheerleaders will get these at practice.)

I will post these photos on Facebook, and on the blog. We will have official pictures taken in the fall with a professional photographer. You will be able to order those photos. Date TBD.

Enhancements added to this Blog

.
Check it out. The search bar now works to search through the existing posts.  Yay!

Also, for easy access to schedules and information, I have added pages across the top of the blog to go directly to the post you need. I will also add a link up there to a photo sharing site to input photos. Does anyone have a favorite photo sharing site, like Shutterfly or Flickr?

If we get that going, then any of us will be able to add photos to share, and order prints.

Suns tumbling feedback

.
I would love to hear what everyone thought of the class today. I really wanted to come today, but I couldn't make it. I want to hear the good and bad. But hopefully you enjoyed it. email me.

WOW!! So far I have heard nothing but great news about the class. Everyone must have had a great tumbling class.

Now, let's get those skills. We need backhandsprings and roundoff backhandsprings from everyone by the fall. GOT IT!!! Make it so. YAY!!

: )

Cheer Central Tumbling update

So, the first Cheer Central Suns tumbling class for Level 1/2 tumblers starts today from 4-5pm. Please arrive early to turn in the paperwork that I handed out last practice, and arrive no later than 3:40.

Danielle told me to just email her with the names of everyone participating in this class, as the website does not seem to be working to register for our class. So, please email me to let me know if you are planning to be in that class, even if you will not be able to attend the first class today.

One other thing that I forgot to point out about this class is that my dream is that this quickly becomes a level 2/3 class as we all progress. So, it will evolve as our team improves. So, don't worry about outgrowing the class before the end of the season. My hope is that the class will grow with us. If you are already a Level 3/3excel, you should find a different class, because you need to be making improvements as well.

Added Search Engine/Cheer Central Registration

.
I just added the search engine to the blog, but it does not seem to work for searching the blog entries at this time. It works well for searching linked sites. I will try to get it working soon.

Also, some of you may have tried to register for the tumbling class at Cheer Central. The class selection portion does not appear to be working at this time. So, I believe that you can get the registration portion done. But you just can't actually place yourself in the class yet. I have contacted Danielle at CC to see what the problem is.

Cheer tumbling meeting

.
There will be a brief meeting after practice this Thursday at 5:15pm at MHS, (at the end of cheer practice), for those interested in the cheer tumbling class at CHeer central. I will have paperwork for you to fill out, and I can hopefully answer any of your quesitons.

This class is for Level 1 and Level 2 tumblers (anyone from beginners to those still working on getting a solid backhandspring and roundoff backhandspring on the floor.)

The class will begin next Monday, and will be held every Monday from 4-5pm at Cheer Central.

Those not in this class should look into the regular scheduled classes at the Suns or Xtreme, as well as the open gyms at these locations. In preparation for the season, everyone needs to be in a tumbling class at least once per week.
