This summer schedule gives families more control of their summer training schedule and will make it easier to plan those much needed summer vacations. This schedule will also allow athletes to train on multiple days with a wide selection of our Ultimate staff. Tues and Wed practices will focus on building skills while Mon and Thurs practices will focus on tumbling skills. COMPETITION SEASON TRAINING Regular team practices consist of four hours of team training and two hours of individual tumbling.

10 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: What s the best way to contact Ultimate? A. Either on the phone (905) or by info@ultimatecheer.ca Q: What are the requirements for Team Placement Videos? A: All placement videos will need to include the following information: full name of athlete, athlete age as of 8/31/15, best contact number (parent s phone number if athlete is a minor), name of the gym athlete competed with last season, level athlete competed on last season, stunting position (main, side, back spot, or flyer), standing tumbling, running tumbling and level appropriate stunting. Q: What is the skills camp? A: Ultimate has hired Action Spirit to run a building skills camps to increase the overall strength of our cheer program. The fee for these camps is included in the new camp fee. Q: Why do I have to register for tumbling classes (previously known as team tumbling). Don t these happen right after team practices? A: By allowing you to pick your own tumbling class you can have more control over your schedule. This process will also allow us to have more level specific classes, with improved athlete to instructor ratios. Q: Why are we traveling to the U.S. less this year? A: To compete more frequently with the teams we will face at Nationals and to avoid the hefty exchange rates associated with traveling to the US. Q: What happens if my athlete masters all of the skills in their current tumbling class? Are they stuck in that class all year? A: Your athlete is never stuck. When they are ready to move on, we will move them. We will work to find a spot in the level appropriate class. Q: I want to train more. What other options are there? A: We also offer private lessons and sem-private lessons (groups of 1-4) all year long. Private lessons, 1-to-1 training, are still the best and fastest way to improve skills. Q: Are there any discounts for purchasing multiple lessons? A: Yes, book 4 private lessons and get 5% off, book 6 private lessons and get 10% off or book 10 or more and get 15% off. 10 v1
