Our RISMA competition will be on October 23rd at World of Sports in Seekonk MA, behind the old fantasy land. Our Jr Pee Wee and Varsity teams will be competing. We only have six practices remaining until competition. With that being said, the remaining six practices are 100% MANDATORY. If a cheerleader does not show up to any one of the remaining six practices, they will be removed from our competition team and our competition routine will be adjusted accordingly. We are still having attendance issues, even after our mandatory parents meeting last month when we discussed how important showing up to practice is. It is not fair to the kids that show up every day that we are not able to perfect a routine due to lack participation from other cheerleaders. This is not the decision that we wanted to make, however, after speaking with RISMAs cheer coordinator and our executive board, this is the final outcome. Our cheerleaders safety is our number one priority, and it is difficult to maintain safety if cheerleaders are not showing up to practice to efficiently learn stunting techniques to prevent injuries. So once again, all remaining six practices are mandatory, and if any cheerleader does not attend any of the six practices, they will be removed from the competition team. Our remaining practices are as follows: Monday October 11- Teamworks 5pm-7pm Tuesday October 12- TMS 5:45pm-8pm (8:30pm for varsity) Thursday October 14th- TMS 5:45pm-8pm (8:30pm for varsity) Monday October 18- Teamworks 5pm-7pm Tuesday October 19- TMS 5:45pm-8pm (8:30pm for varsity) Thursday October 21th- TMS 5:45pm-8pm (8:30pm for varsity) In addition to these six practices, we will be having a Showcase performance for all three of our cheerleading teams to perform their routines for each other, and parents or family members, and our board members that would like to attend. We have also asked our football coordinator to encourage as many football players to attend as possible. This will be October 22nd at 5:30pm at Teamworks. All are welcome. Our RISMA competition will be October 23rd. This competition will be ran a little differently than any previous year. We will be pre-selling wristbands for $15 which will gain you entry to watch your cheerleaders team perform. No tickets will be sold at the door, so please be sure to contact someone on the board to purchase tickets. Our competition bows will be arriving any day now. Please remember that no bows will be distributed without payment. They are $20. Please, if you have any questions, feel free to call or text me. Thank you, Brenda 774-719-3228
