KS Cards

Hello all- There are King Soopers cards available to cheer families that can help put money into the cheer account.  If you go to King Soopers, please consider getting a fundraising card.  It is a special card that you take into the KS customer service, put money on the card, shop, and then use that card for your purchases/gas.  KS gives a % back to our group for all monies spent.  It is easy and can really add up.  (Especially with the holidays coming up!)  If interested, please let me know, and I will get a card for you OR you can go to CVHS main office and ask for a KS card for cheers.
Thnx all!
Heather

Schedule

Hello all!  I am so sorry for the schedule mix.  Lauren (JV team mom) is awesome and I accidently told her the wrong info about Monday/Tuesdays.  I goofed.  We will have a competition schedule starting now.  That means, athletes should not miss any practices if on comp teams.
This week for Wed, Thur, Fri, and Sat (Varsity 1-3pm and JV 4-6 on Saturday) are normal.  However, Monday Oct 28- off, Tuesday & Thursday after school JV/evening v, Wednesday NO practice.  Taste of the world, Friday after school and Saturday is varsity in Pueblo.  NO JV practice Nov 2.  (Tuesday tumbling as usual).
Monday Nov 4th all comp teams after school.  Nov 5th all teams tumbling and practices after school 3:15-4:15.  DC invite that evening potluck dinner with run through of routines 6-7pm.  (Time might change.  Waiting on final ok.) 
When we pull grades, and an athlete is not eligible, we HAVE to pull kids from routines.  Please help us by really watching your athletes grades.  I do not have a choice.  If failing any classes, and they need to stay after school to work with teacher, that is fine.  Just  let us know.  However, please know that many kids go in early on Wednesdays as to avoid missing practice.  if grades are really rough, I am happy to sit with the parents and the athlete and come up with a plan.   

***parent meeting October 26 3-4pm.  please attend if at possible.  there is a ton to talk about, but the meeting will NOT run over 4pm.

Community service opp

Hello to all cheers!
Please let me know if anyone is available to work with me for a few little kids on a one hour private cheer lesson.  I donated an one hour session for a specials needs fundraiser.  I am looking at possibly an evening over fall break or a weekend.  Thanks all for considering!
Coach Heather

competition teams

Varsity comp team is currently at 16.  In order for anyone to be added, they must have a solid tuck, running roundoff/tuck, and/or a full.  OR members may be moved up if the routine is not scoring well during the competitive season and needs to be a larger team size.  Please keep working skills if you are close.  Not just tumbling, but stunting as well.  No one currently on/off is guaranteed to compete.  Skills and grades must be consistent and what is best for the team.
JV comp team- please keep up the good work. You all are progressing as a team an amazing pace.  Super excited about this team.  If NOT on the comp team for jv at this time, please keep up the hard work.  We are placing new people in the routine VERY frequently. 

schedule changes

Hello all!  You may have seen a text today from your cheer.  AS a team we are reviewing the weekly schedule with all athletes at Tuesday practices.  Today, we asked that they text you so we know the information is getting to you.  We have a very complicated school as far as space and scheduling goes.  Sometimes, we are forced to be flexible.  For example:  This past Saturday was on an original schedule from the school as having a JV football game at 9am.  Neither poms nor cheers were informed of any change.  So, in the future, I am asking the lead moms to double check the continental league site/schedule weekly.  Once the cheers were informed of the game change, Coach Elijuan, who was there, told the JV team they did not have to stay OR they could stay until the 11am JV game.  Todays schedule change was simply that the cheers got out of practice at 5:45 because a golf banquet could not get moved any later.  Wednesday is cancelled for JV cheer this week.
Thursday is as scheduled 3:15 and Saturday is as usual.  However, tumbling for JV on Saturday is pending because Coach Steve has a funeral to attend that day.  If they are still tumbling, look for the time to be 12:30 and 1:30pm. 
There is a game this Thursday night for varsity game team only.  6:30pm for non-competitive and 5:30pm for competitive.  Saturday- varsity competitive are encouraged to go to the Americheer comp at Chaparral HS from approx. 12-3.  Then a one hour practice immediately following.
Fall break practice schedule to be issued asap. 
Thank you all for your understanding.  Some changes are NOT under our control.  We are working to resolve some of the gaps between various teams at CV and cheers.
