The clinic on Aug. 29, 30, & 31 is optional and costs $10.00. We encourage all girls to attend each day of the clinic so that they will have the opportunity to know the material by Thursday, Sept. 1 for tryouts. Anyone who does not attend the clinic needs to make arrangements to learn the material. All interested girls need to meet at the Alton C. Crews Middle School gym at 4:30 PM sharp Monday in order have plenty of time to stretch. Do not be late Mon, Tues, Wed or Thurs, for the clinic and tryouts. Be sure to make arrangements for transportation at 5:45pm sharp (Monday and Thursday may run late).

The clinic is being conducted by several of the Brookwood High School Cheerleaders and the cost of the clinic will go toward the cheerleading account at Crews.
