A few reminders regarding practice...

1. Please be sure your daughter is ready for practice at 5:00pm. The coaches have asked for us to arrive between 4:40 - 4:45. This helps to ensure shoes are on and tied and hair is pulled back out of their face, as well as, bathroom breaks. This way they can get started with practice right away.

2. The coaches are ready to begin teaching more skills needed for the routine. If your daughter is unable to make it to practice, please make Sherri or Jennifer aware so we can inform the coaches asap. We understand emergencies occur, but please make every attempt to have your daughter at all the practices.

3. We are planning a Christmas party for the girls. It will be on the last Wednesday before Christmas break and it will be held in Robyn's office at Stingrays. Final details coming soon...thinking about doing a $5 or less gift exchange (each girls would need to bring a gift of $5 or less). If you have any ideas or would be interested in helping out, please let me know. We will have a sign up sheet this week at practice.

4. As always, if you have questions, please feel free to let either Sherri or Jennifer know.
