WEEKLY UPDATE

Bring your own supplies and hang out with the rest of the Viper Families and Coaches. Spikeball, Kan Jam, Cornhole are just a few activities we will have. If you have a fun activity please bring it! This is a fantastic way to get to know each other in a fun family setting before the summer is over!!!

The Social Committee is asking for volunteers - we need at least one family to go "early" and claim an area for us. If you have the ability to do this please let Coach Chris know ASAP. 484-686-8892

All Athletes should have received their Season 10 T-shirts. Shorts and Sports Bras are still in production. We expect all athletes to wear the gear assigned to their practice days. Crossovers are expected to be in assigned gear for each of their teams.

Our gear is a part of our "uniform." It ensures that every athlete at practice truly feels a part of the group. It also promotes being performance ready at all times, we always remind our athletes practice how you plan to perform. You wouldn't show up to a competition without your uniform so you shouldn't show up to practice in the incorrect gear.

The fundraising committee is excited to begin planning this season’s events. We have reviewed previous events and begun looking at some new ones based on parent feedback. We have done our best to select fundraisers that are successful for our families and the gym.

All fundraisers are optional. You can do some, all or none - pick the ones that work best for your family. The amount you earn from each fundraiser will be included in each post as well as updated here. It is important to read the details included each time to ensure you are successful and return the correct amounts.

Thank you and happy fundraising!

Boot Camps are a critical time where coaches begin to form pieces of the routine and create stunt sequences. It's a crucial for athletes not only to bond, but begin progressing skills that can be showcased at choreography. Every athletes attendance is important to their teammates and coaches in helping set up each team for success.

**During Boot Camp Weeks teams will only practice on the day listed below. They will not practice on their normal days**

All Absence Requests MUST be submitted 2 weeks prior to missing your teams practice. If we receive an Absence Request with less than 2 weeks notice, it will automatically be unexcused and result in a fee. Coaches will be compensated with these fees. You are allowed 6 EXCUSED ABSENCES per elite team or 9 EXCUSED ABSENCES for the Worlds team throughout the entire season. If you have questions regarding requests or the amount of absences your athlete has so far please contact Coach Audrey at asteglik@thevictoryvipers.com
