rules & requirements for cheerleaders
Hotel Curfew is 10:00 pm. Lights out in your room no later than 11:00, preferably 10:30. Parents please help us monitor the athletes so that they are prepared to compete both days. If cheerleaders do not adhere to this rule, their team will have consequences imposed upon them.
All Cheerleaders should make sure they have their phones with them as Team Parents will be sending a Band messages notifying every one of any last minute instructions (changes to practice times, etc.)
Please try to adhere to the schedule given to the cheerleaders. ALL team members are required to be at ALL KC Cheer performances!
There will be very little time to shop in the mall area, so please don't make plans for the girls to go shopping while in Indy. Also, NO swimming in the hotel pool for KC Cheer team members during the competition. You are free to swim on Sunday night after awards if you are staying.
Please do not allow your child to travel between the Hotel, the Mall and the arena alone. These areas are open to the public and Indy will be very crowded this weekend. On the crowded note: It may be a good idea to bring a small cooler with breakfast foods inside, muffins, fruit, bagels & juice. Breakfast will be important to most of our team members, so please come prepared.
Hotel check out is 11:00 am on Sunday, make sure your cheerleader takes ALL of her needed items with her in the morning on Sunday to the arenas. We will load the buses with all luggage Sunday morning.
We will board the buses as soon as possible after the all awards ceremonies. We will NOT be stopping for food on the return trip, so please plan for this. (Drinks & Snacks)
