First Full Week back

Participation Activity Fee:
Coach Sobbe and I were informed at the coaches meeting on Friday, the school increased this fee to $55.  For those of you who already paid please send an extra $10 in with your cheerleader, for those of you who did not, please send $55.  This will be taking out of our account within the next week.  Sorry for the confusion. Thank you.

Tumbling Classes:
Still open for 4 people on Monday to start a class and 6 people on Tuesday to start a class.

I spoke with a couple coaches at Edge in Riverside and if the girls are interested they would make a tumble class for them.  It's $40 per month per girl and times can be either Monday at 3pm or Tuesday at 3pm and last an hour.  They would need at least 12 girls to sign up for the class.  If you are interested please sign up on the google sheet.   Once I get 12 girls interested I will reach out to Edge and arrange this.  Thank you.
