8 ***EVALUATION DAY*** Evaluations are closed viewing to parents, friends, family and others. You may choose to relax in our Parent Area or Lobby while your athlete is evaluated. We do ask that parents of younger athletes (Ages 5-8) remain in the building during the evaluation session. Athletes may be released early. Friday, May 18 th Ages > 6:00pm-7:00pm Registration & Warm-up 5:30pm Ages > 8:00pm-9:00pm Registration & Warm-up 7:30pm Saturday, May 19 th Ages 5-8 > 10:00am-11:00am Registration & Warm-up 9:30am Ages 9-11 > 12:00pm-1:00pm Registration & Warm-up 11:30am Summer Training Placement Announcements and the Summer Training Schedule will be uploaded to our website on Sunday, May 20 10am. Please take a moment to check your athlete s training classes and times throughout the week on our website. Evaluations for summer training levels will be for boys and girls under age 18 into the following competitive cheer training classes: Level 1a and Level 1b (Level 1 may be divided by age when necessary.) Level 2 and Level 2elite (Level 2 may be divided by skill level when necessary.) Levels 3 and Level 3elite (Level 3 may be divided by skill level when necessary.) Levels 4/5 (These levels may be combined or split by skill level depending upon necessity.) Athletes will also be attending a weekly Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced Stunt Practice. Athletes may be asked to attend more than one level for Stunting at no additional fee. **NEW THIS SEASON** Summer Training Placements will not be limited to tumbling placement ONLY but will consider the athlete s strength, flexibility, coordination, jumps, dance and experience to determine level. TEAM TRY-OUT AND PLACEMENT will take place in July at no additional cost to program members. We consider the summer to be the most beneficial training time for all our athletes. It allows each athlete to train at their highest ability level for an entire summer before being placed onto a team and held to a specific set of skill restrictions for the rest of the season. This also allows time for goal-setting and utilizing gym time and coaches to reach these goals on an individual basis. Once athletes are placed on specific competitive teams, the focus will shift to team-oriented success, however, individual progression can still be attained through extra tumbling and training classes and private lessons available all season.
