Transcription

1 United Elite (UE) welcomes you to our Program! Our objective is to develop each athlete physically, mentally and emotionally to ensure they will achieve success on and off the competition floor. Our athletes will learn how to work hard, set and achieve goals, work through frustrations and setbacks, take risks, and work as a team. They will also learn the meaning and worth of dedicated effort. Athletes will have the confidence which comes with the knowledge that they can accomplish amazing things if they put their minds to it! At United Elite, athletes make lifelong friends and memories which will remain with them forever. Each of our athletes will build self-confidence through the positive reinforcement of our Staff. As you review this information packet and consider becoming a competitive cheerleader at United Elite, we ask that you please read all requirements, including, but not limited to, attendance, financial and time commitments, policies, procedures, etc. Competitive cheerleading is a select team sport and is very demanding from a time and financial standpoint. It is a commitment that should not be entered lightly. Please make sure you are capable and willing to commit to the mandatory practice schedule, competition schedule and financial responsibilities required. We are interested in athletes and parents who will fully commit to this year-round sport and remain loyal to their team and the Program. With hard work, loyalty and dedication, together we can be successful and achieve great things!
