LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR

We looked at two amazing locations over the past week and are in contract negotiations with a realtor. More info to be released next Monday. In the meantime, watch our Instagram for teasers and first look!

Need to Know:
  • JULY PAYMENTS DUE: If you have not had a chance to pay your July tuition, please review you account and make your payment. Auto-debit will complete on 7/15 for all unpaid accounts. Payment arrangements need to be made by 7/10 to avoid auto-debit.​
  • TRAVEL SELECTIONS: Nationals is February 27th! We are working on a travel schedule and will release travel dates and hotel info very soon for families who plan to book their own travel. Travel selection forms are due by July 31st (see forms or complete online).
  • CAMP/PRACTICE WEAR: I've been getting a lot of questions about camp gear so I'm gonna do a little Q&A below. To view or purchase, see Shoes & Swag.
  1. Q: Is camp gear mandatory? Nope! These will be the main sets we launch this year but the team dress code is always black top and shorts, and we do not care where you get those items from. Dress code starts at choreography camp in August. Classes do not have a color-specific dress code.
  2. Q: Is this different from the "practice wear" in the Sponsor My Uniform pamphlet? Yes. During fitting week in August, most items are mandatory but there are two optional purchases: warm up jacket & blank practice wear. Our camp gear has logos, designs,  rhinestones, and variety, where the $50 set sold during fitting week is our budget set. Most people purchase one or the other. When talking to friends/family about Sponsor My Uniform, you can mention if your goal is to upgrade the practice wear to avoid confusion. Pamphlets are general.
  3. Q: When we will see the designs and all the items? Some items will be selected during the ordering process because price & availability can depend on the quantity ordered. I'm hoping to make the 21-22 season logo soon, and the practice tees/tank will sport that logo. We will honor individual exchanges on items from the bundles you are really unhappy with (ProShop credit).
To view/purchase camp gear, see Shoes & Swag. I have added new pics!

If you need to get a hold of me: Urgent? Send a text. Not-urgent? Send an email.

​IMPORTANT NOTE: It is not lost on us that our princess selection for this Friday lacks diversity. We value representation at CEC. The company we've worked with in the past had left us in a bind and we had to find a new company and book these beauties with short notice; these three were the only ones available. We will take requests for our next event, but are most definitely booking Tiana, likely Jazmine, and possibly a prince!
If you aren't on instagram enough to see all our stories, take a few minutes to scroll through our highlights. I'll be trying to save more practice videos for future viewing. Check out this gem from a couple days ago of Coach Kayla hitting her prep! Tell that lady she needs to ring the bell. If you can't tell, we have fun here.

JULY/AUG SUMMER CAMPS

In July and August, our travel teams will host a week long summer camp at the gym for community members. You may have seen an email with details about this summer camp. Here are a few important things to note:
  • All members are invite to participate in camp and invite friends to participate with them! We will stunt, tumble, dance, jump, craft, play and eat. August's camp will most likely be in our new location.
  • If your athlete has friends interested in cheerleading, have them attend camp together! I have attached the flyer for you to print/send to friends and family. Note: There is a separate flyer for July and August.
  • All Junior Coaches (even non-travel JC's) will be expected to work one shift during camp for their leadership development. Please let me know if they need an exception.
Travel Athletes:
  • Travel athletes are each scheduled to work one day and will teach two classes during camp. All athletes are paired with someone of a different age for teaching (so your tiny isn't going to be left alone). Kayla is working on the schedule and will send it in the next couple days.
  • Most of our staff works normal jobs during the day, so camp staffing is light. If you are able to help on your athlete's scheduled day, please let Kayla know. We could use a mom each day for injuries, scared/upset campers, urgent issues, helping with staff breaks, etc. 
  • If your athlete is unable to work their shift, they may swap with someone else or opt out of this fundraiser. Please try to have them cover their shift first as our schedule was set up with the assumption of around 50 athletes. You will not earn money from this fundraiser if they opt out.
  • If your athlete wants to work additional time, they can. We are needing to fill another 5-7 shifts. Just have them ask Kayla for another shift.
