Cheer Costs

Hi cheerleaders and families! 

We've had a great first two practices. Coach Sumner and I are extremely excited about the progress the team has made in a few short days! We have to attribute a fair amount of this success to the team working hard on the material prior to practices.  

       As you may know, the typical athletic fee for any sport is $65 per season. This year cheerleading will NOT pay this fee. However, this may change in future seasons or years. If you already paid the fee, please contact bookkeeper Misty Adams about possible refunds. 

       At the fall sports meeting we talked about the fee the cheerleaders would need for their clothing for the season. At that time we told you that the $25 dollar fee would cover a bow, pair of briefs (for under the skirts), and shoes. Later at the meeting we also discussed making the fee $50 so the team could also get matching shirts and shorts. Coach Sumner and I have recently talked about a different situation, and here is our proposition: $35 fee that would pay for a bow, pair of briefs, shoes and a t-shirt. 

So the two options are:

$25 for a bow, briefs, and shoes            OR            $35 for a bow, briefs, shoes, and a t-shirt. 

The cheer program has paid for all uniforms, warm-ups, bags, poms, signs, etc., because these are things that will stay with the program. The cheer fee is for things that the team members will keep after the season is over. We would REALLY like to get the team the t-shirts (for an extra $10) so that they can look uniformed and professional at events that don't necessarily require uniforms such as volunteer events we will go to, performances needing a more casual outfit, fundraisers, and to wear to school on days we have a game. 

PLEASE talk to your family or cheerleader tonight about these options! If we are to order shirts in time for our stadium opening/scrimmage on August 29th (check the calendar) then we will need to decide tomorrow at practice! This is a great backup plan if our missing uniform tops don't come in on time! 

 Let us know as soon as possible if you have any concerns. Thanks!
