**This year each coach will be attached to one squad. Concerns will be handled through your coaches and if it’s not resolved at that level, it should be elevated to the Commissioner, or the Athlete Director, Leon Merritt. Please submit issues/concerns in writting so we may track our progress.
As you can see our registration fee is $190. For most of you, this is a decrease from last year. The following items are included in the fee. Totally new uniforms will be distributed this season! Bodysuits will be navy versus white. We found that the white just won’t stay white. LOL! We will continue to use the same sweat suit as last year. This years package includes: Navy cropped bodysuit, socks for the field, competition socks, rain coat, competition shoes, a hair bow or ribbon, 2 plastic poms, navy briefs, banquet tickets, and of course the vest/skirt rental.
Your coach will contact you regarding a 2 week camp 19 - 30 Jul (Mon-Fri), 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M., at Ardmore Field. The cost is $10. Each camper will receive a "Cheer" tee-shirt. Some campers will be chosen and be spotlighted in our seasons DVD.
The season will begin August 2, 2010 and extend into the playoffs and championship games.
If there’s anyone who would like to participate as an assistant coach, team parent, or lend your skills in any other areas, please send an e-mail immediately!
We look forward to seeing you all this season!
That’s it for NOW! See ya! Much love from the GABGC Cheer Family!!
