Choreography extra day

.
I spent the day today (8 hours, and 8 hours again tomorrow) at the gym while varsity is working their competition choreography. And, I really think that JV could use more time on full mats.

So, I have requested the small gym on Friday afternoon, August 27th, so we can roll out all of our mats for some extra work on the choreography. I should get notice this week if that works in the school schedule. (It currently shows clear.) Please mark your calendars for practice that day from 3 to 6pm. It is easier to cancel, than to schedule another practice with even shorter notice. Thanks. SCRATCH THIS!!!


I spoke with the volleyball coach today, and they practice after school next Friday in both gyms from 4 to 6:30. So, we cannot practice then. Volleyball has everyday after school and most Saturdays in both gyms as well. However, he says that they are not practicing this Saturday, August 21. I know that the girls have Club Mo on Friday night, so I would like to call a practice this Saturday from noon to 3pm. I also realize that it is very short notice. We could really use some time on full mats to get the choreography going. Then on Wednesday night mat rental we can run and mark the routine for an hour once/week. We have 4 mat rentals before our first competition.

New Calendar feature

I will keep this calendar up to date with any schedule changes. I have added the Basketball schedule to this blog and to the calendar. Please be careful about the "map" feature of the calendar, as it often seems to be wrong. For instance, the Xtreme Altitude that it sometimes maps is of is the Lafayette gym. We will be at the Broomfieild gym. And if I type MHS as the location, it thinks we are in Arizona.

JV Competition music

I have uploaded a video of the competition music with the description of what is happening at each count. This may be interesting for the girls to see. If it makes sense to you, please study it and visualize if you can.

Click on the Title above or the link below. I changed the video because the second music was not synced to the descrption screens. Now that is fixed.

KNOW YOUR CHEERS TESTING

.
PRACTICE YOUR CHEERS.

You will be tested this Thursday. If you do not know them, you will condition for every cheer you do not know. Returning girls, you should now them well. New girls, I am expecting you to start to be able to get the motions tighter and stronger. Please practice in the mirror or with a friend. The more you practice, the easier it is. Our first game is in one month. Check the "CHEERS" page for the test schedule, and know those cheers.

If you do not pass the tests before the first game, you will sit in the stands until you know your cheers.

Practice Schedule Update

.
Please see the practice schedule page for an update to the practice schedule for July 27 and 29, as well as August 3 and 5.

Bring water bottles and wear sunscreen as we will practice outside for the next two weeks.

Last year's cheerleaders, please bring your copy of the instructional video to practice next week to give to the new cheerleaders. Keep meeting with them to learn the cheers as well. We will be testing on Thursdays again starting next week.

Athletic Registration

.

Click the title above for a link to the Monarch High School Athletics registration page.

All cheerleaders will need to register for cheerleading during the fall athletic registration. A copy of their current physical is required. I will bring the ones that I have to practice on August 3rd so those girls have theirs. You are not required to pay the ahtletic registration fee for cheerleading.

Once you are registered, I will receive confirmation from the athletic office. Once mandatories begin, you will not be allowed to practice until you are registered with the athletic office.
