Hey There Knight Cheer Fam!

Here is our second monthly newsletter!

We just finished up our first Knight Pride Week of 2-a-day practices!! The teams did great! My coaching staff and I were beyond proud of all the hard work from those who consistently attended! The idea behind the 2-a-days is to prepare the teams for the grueling and intense camp schedule in a couple of weeks. I did not want our athletes to be blindsided by practicing from 9am-4pm. It can be a lot if you have never done it before.

Coach Heather was excited to begin stunting fundamentals and techniques with our freshman team and they did great! We had some movement between teams as well. Averie M. was brought up to JV and Alina Q., Brooke R., and Riley K. are now permanent members on V-Squad! We are excited for their accomplishments! The teams are all doing amazing and making great progress! The biggest obstacle that we face right now is getting all members to practice at one time. I am asking that you PLEASE make practices a priority! Our athletes are very talented and have the potential to be amazing but it is very difficult to build our skills and remain consistent when one or two people are missing from every practice.

Our BIG fundraiser will kick off on 07/11 so please be sure to share the link and encourage family, friends, and business owners to donate! Anython is offering some pretty cool incentives as well. Please reach out if you have any questions. Tanya McDaris is our point person on this one along with Jen Aldrich.

Coach Armando, Coach Heather, and I are really looking forward to camp!! Please feel free to reach out if you have any current concerns.

Remember to Keep it Classy and GOOOOO KNIGHTS!!
