Open mat

I am so sorry about todays open mat.  I drive through a LOT of new construction areas as a realtor, and I had my 4th nail in a tire today in the past month!  I just got new tires, and the tire shop did not return a special tool that I needed to take off the hub caps.  So.... I could not change my tire in the glamorous area of Commerce City.  So, I was blessed with one of the graduating kids picking up my kids from school, and I got back into the Castle Rock at 5:30!  Ugh!  Again, sorry to cancel.  I have missed 3 practices in 7 years.  It is not usual.  (Once for a little finger issue...lol, another for a sick kid, and lastly for an ACL rupture.)....and today....

Clothing

Only once payments are final, can I release clothing items.  There are several families that did not get an order paid for.  I understand, but please understand why I have to hold items until payment is rcvd.  Checks to CVHS.  If wanting to pay with a CC.  Contact me so I can contact our school accountant.  Another order will be made at the end of May.  If going to camp, you must have the practice/camp clothing.  If you did not order last month, you very likely will not recv your items in time for camp.  You will be required to borrow from another team member that is not going. 
A couple of girls did not get an order placed, because they did not pay online in time.  Sorry I had to drop a couple of people off, but the order would not be processed until complete.  It was a week over due and several texts/calls were made trying to get people to pay.  So, please do NOT miss deadlines.  I do not get paid in the summer, and this is a ton of silly work trying to get in touch with families that are not following deadlines.  I can not chase people, and nor should parent volunteers.  If you are new, I understand having questions and maybe goofing up.  However, most of the issues were with returning kids.....
So, please if on a payment plan, please let me know when and how much.  All balances must be paid by June 15th.  NO EXCEPTIONS. 
Thank you all for your understanding.
Coach Heather

Clothing order

Clothing items are starting to come in!  Woo hoo!  Shoes, poms, briefs, and all three shorts are in.  All custom items will take awhile.  If anyone needs their shoes right away, let me know.  Otherwise, I am holding onto the items until more comes in.  It is all separated and labeled already.  As usual, there are a couple of items missing.  (Only poms!)  Once you do get the shoes you ordered, if they do not fit- return them to me un-worn.  I can exchange them if done promptly.  ALSO, shorts can be exchanged if done promptly.
Please write your initials on your pom handles.  (Baton handle)  If lost you stand a chance if your name is on it.  Otherwise....

COLORADO STATE UNIVERSITY

FORT COLLINS , CO US
06/20/2013 - 06/23/2013

Please have this registration payment in by June 1st.  Otherwise, I will assume your cheer is not attending.

I know this is a lot of money.  However, I think it is that important.  This camp is awesome at giving a lot of feedback to the girls for cheers, jumps, and stunting.  They will have a lot of team bonding, which is super important for safety reasons.  The girls will arrive at CSU in the am on the 20th, unpack in the dorms, start classes at noon.  They will have meals provided starting with dinner through the breakfast on the 23rd.  On the 23rd, families are encouraged to arrive around 9:30am to watch and support our kids for final evals.  Bring a lawn chair and prepare to pick up your tired cheer at noon.  (Also, hope to have a tailgating party before we hit the road on the 20th in the CVHS parking lot.  Anyone want to arrange/head this?)

Looking forward to seeing everyone at open mat days- please start coming and freshmen are allowed now to be there and participate!  Regarding this camp, please attend if at all possible.  It is a HUGE start for the team becoming a team.  This is going to be an AMAZING JV- but we need to be aggressive in team building!  Coaching staff is nearly settled and schedules are due to be out very soon.  What I know for sure- Elijuan is staying and will be on staff!  He will be our stunting guru for BOTH teams.  I plan on scheduling myself to work with JV once a week as well.  It is going to be team coaching this year for both teams.  The team behind the team.  Expect the best- we are and we are super excited!!!!

Ford fundraiser and carwash May 4th

Parents,

Our first fundraiser is May 4^th!!! There is two parts to the fundraiser.

 1.       One person per family at least 18 years of age can do a ten minute Ford test drive. Our assigned time is 10am to 11am. Please tell all your friends and family to come. You have to tell them that you are doing the test drive for the cheer program so we can get credit. Each test drive earns $16 towards our program. If for some reason you can’t make that time you can come earlier or later but again,  please make sure they know that you want it to go to cheer program.

2.       The cheer program is running a car wash from 9 – 4pm. We need Cheerleaders to sign-up for time slots. We also are selling hotdogs and water so I will need a few parents to help. Here is the connection to sign-up.

 http://www.signupgenius.com/go/805084CA4AD28A31-carwash

  

Cheerleaders need to wear red or black shirt and red or black shorts. They can wear bathing suits under the shirt and shorts but they may not at any time take off or roll up shirt/shorts.

Each cheerleader needs to bring a sponge and towels. We will provide the buckets, hose and soap. I will also have a table with chairs for cheerleaders to check in.

 

INCOMING FRESHMAN ARE ALLOWED TO PARTICIATE!!! THIS IS A GREAT WAY TO MEET SOME OF YOUR TEAM MEMBERS.

If you cannot participate in the fundraiser please make a poster that advertises the Car wash/ Hotdogs/ Ford test-drive. You can bring them to open mat on Friday May 3^rd at 3:30.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there.
