First Coaches meeting e on Feb 26th went very well. All but 2 coaches attended. They were informed of all dates we have set up so far.
They expressed an interested in encouraging all girls to attend UCA along with HHS stunt/cheer clinics.
All coaches were eager to receive additional stunt training.
The idea of “sideline only” option was brought up, and many thought it was a great option. We will not advertise this option, but coaches may propose it to those girl who seem less committed, or have more time restraints.
Coaches were told about stunt round changes for festival, and that all routines will follow MSHSA guidelines (no music)
Coaches wanted to make sure we set up another dress rehearsal this year, as it was very beneficial to all teams.
EQUIPMENT-
Sarah provided our board with uniform inventory report.
We Priced out embroidery for the back of Warm up Jackets. At $10/jacket, too expensive for us to cover, but could do as a possible fundraiser….girls could buy their jackets for $30 with embroidery.
