GENERAL PROGRAM INFORMATION Sienna Spirit All-Star Prep Cheerleading Program is for girls and boys, 4-13 years old. It is a low-key, introductory format to competitive cheerleading. Teams practice each week on routines that are developed under USASF guidelines. The routines involve basic cheerleading and gymnastics skills which novice cheerleaders enjoy learning. The teams will compete in approximately 4 competitions in the Houston/Galveston area, focusing on positive team work, achieving team and personal goals, all in a family-friendly environment. SUMMER PRACTICE (May-August): During the summer the squads will work on new stunts, pyramids, jumps and tumbling that their routine will be composed of. Starting in September, they will begin learning the dance and sequence of the 2-minute routine that they will compete in the 2017-2018 season.

COMMITMENT AND ATTENDANCE It is very important to remember that cheerleading is a team sport. Every child has a "job" or part in the routine and when your child is absent from a practice/performance/competition a large part of the routine cannot be done. This is not only frustrating as a coach, but for the other children involved who are at practice/performances/competitions and are trying their hardest. Please remember that there is a team of other girls who are counting on your child to be at practice and competitions. If your child has an unexcused absence in the two weeks prior to a competition or performance they will not be able to participate in that competition or performance. No exceptions. UNIFORM & PRACTICE WEAR FITTING Fitting will be Tuesday, August 15th. Team fitting time is below: Diamonds 6:30 PM- 7:30 PM Platinum 7:30 PM- 8:30 PM *You can come anytime during your teams scheduled hour however, it’s first come first serve. A Varsity representative will be measuring and have the girls try on samples to get an accurate sizing. FUNDRAISING Fundraising to help offset the cost of uniforms, competition fees and tuition is highly encouraged. An email with fundraising opportunities will be sent out soon. COMPETITION DATES: 12-09-17 American Cheer Power NRG-Houston, Tx. Cost: $100 – Due Sept. 15th 1-27-18 WSA Houston Cypress Berry Center-Cypress, Tx.

TRAVELING As discussed in the previous parent meeting, the decision was made to accept bids every other year, so we will accept a bid on the even number competition year. For the 2017-2018 season, if the Diamonds and/or Platinum team receives a bid for The One Finals, we will accept. The dates for The One have not been released. Once they are I will let everyone know so we can all be prepared in the event a bid is granted. This means there is a possibility there will be a 5th competition that will not be in the Houston area. TEAM BONDING It is very important for the girls to get to know each other and bond before the season begins. There will be some fun events planned for the girls before and throughout the season to help them bond and grow as a team. A team mom will be contacting you and letting you know when the first event will be. COMMUNICATION I communicate mainly via email ([email protected]), so please make sure that I have a valid email address that you check often. Also, news will be posted on the website siennaspirit.com so please check the website periodically.
