As I begin to plan for Summer, I need to know of anyone who will be in Summer School or an academic class. Last year no one was so I could have practice in the early afternoon. I would prefer this since it is often very hot in the summer. I need to know now so I can reserve the gym ahead of time. Please let me know today if your daughter plans on attending summer school or a class so I can attempt to schedule practices.
Also the girls will need to pick up an athletic clearance packet in my room next week. In that packet there is a physical form. Clearance is needed before your daughter can practice. YOU WILL NOT PRACTICE WITHOUT CLEARANCE. The school holds physicals for 425 cash only on May 16th and 23rd. You are also welcome to see your own doctor and have them fill out the form if you choose. Again, they can pick these up in my room NEXT WEEK. If you go to the school physical clearance will be issued there, and Coach Armstrong will have your name on file. If you go to another Dr. you will need to turn all forms in to Coach Armstrong yourself. PLEASE do not interrupt his football practice in the summer to do so. His office is next to the gym across from the pool, or you can put it in his box in the office.
For camp, and practice throughout the year, you will need the following items- (The link to a site that I find sells them cheapest is here. You can also find these shorts at Kohls.)
Navy Soffe Shorts http://www.omnicheer.com/Cheer-Shorts/Women-s-Cheer-Shorts/Soffe-Cheerleading-Shorts.axd
White Soffe Shorts http://www.omnicheer.com/Cheer-Shorts/Women-s-Cheer-Shorts/Soffe-Cheerleading-Shorts.axd
Maroon Soffe Shorts http://www.omnicheer.com/Cheer-Shorts/Women-s-Cheer-Shorts/Soffe-Cheerleading-Shorts.axd
NO ONE SHOULD BE WEARING A CHILD SIZE SHORT. I have had many issues with girls wearing shorts WAY too small and I will not tolerate it. Cheer shorts are the only acceptable shorts for practice. Some of the girls need to be wearing a larger short, please use your best judgment with this. Soffe shorts are NOT meant to be tight like bike shorts!!!
You will also need a skort and it MUST BE THIS ONE FROM THIS SITE IN NAVY!

If you have one from last year, it is the same skort! No need to get extra, or new shorts or skorts if you have them already!
The other camp shirts will be ordered at a later time.
Thanks and take care!
