All are remaining practices will be held indoors on the soccer field at Boulter field. Due to space availability, safety, and distractions, parents will not be allowed to stay and watch practices. However, all cheerleaders regardless of age, must be picked up inside the building. We will release the girls one team at a time starting with flag. Please pick them up on the floor behind the net.

No food or beverage is allowed on the turf. Waterbottles are okay, but only plain water (no flavored waters or Gatorade). Be sure your cheerleader is hydrated during the day and has water with her at every practice.

Please have your child go to the bathroom prior to practice and check that she is not wearing any jewelry.

Please drop off/pick up on time.

It is mandatory that each cheer leader is at every practice. One missing team member can prevent the entire squad from being able to practice.
