TEAM CAPTAIN/LIEUTENANT APPLICATION 2017 (8 th grade ONLY) The dance coach will be selecting a team of Officers to help lead the Dance Team for the 2017 season. At least one team Captain and one Lieutenant will be chosen, with the possibility of up to two each (4 total officers). If you will be an 8 th grader and are interested in helping to lead the team, please review the roles below and answer the following questions. What is the role of a Captain on the Cooley Dance Team? Team captains report directly to the dance coach and are expected to set an example for the dance team. If selected as a team captain, you will be seen as a leader on the team and a student ambassador. Team captains are held to a higher standard than their teammates and are therefore required to be at all team practices and performances (see team handbook for exceptions), as well as maintain a high academic grade level. What is the role of a Lieutenant on the Cooley Dance Team? Lieutenants report directly to the dance coach. Just as captains are expected to set an example for the dance team, so are lieutenants. If selected as a lieutenant, you will be seen as a leader and student ambassador. Lieutenants are held to a higher standard than their teammates and are required to be at all team practices and performances (see team handbook for exceptions), as well as maintain a high academic grade level. Their primary role is to provide support to the coach and captains as needed. In the event that the captains are unavailable, the lieutenant is expected to fulfill that role until the captain returns.
Question 1 Team Captains and Lieutenants are seen as leaders of a group. It is critical that they be at ALL team practices and performances. Can you make this type of commitment? Please explain. Question 2 If you see a fellow dance teammate struggling with choreography, what would you do? Question 3 Coach Carla will often need help with various tasks such as warm-ups, choreography, setup, cleanup, running music, etc. In what other ways do you think you can assist the team coach? Question 4 Is there anything else you would like Coach Carla to know about you? Thank you for your interest in being a Dance Team Captain! Coach Carla will select a leadership team by April 19, 2017.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION 2017 As a member of the Dance Team at Cooley Middle School, each family will be responsible for group fundraising efforts so that we can defray costs associated with uniforms, warm-ups, shoes, dance camp, etc. * Cooley Middle School does not want cost to prohibit anyone from trying out for the dance team. Therefore, fees are not required to join the team. HOWEVER, we welcome individual donations as well as sponsorships, and we expect that each family will do their part to defray uniform expenses. These items are tax-deductible and all monies received will benefit the entire team. If we do not raise enough money for uniforms, they cannot be ordered. ** We are excited to announce that Cooley Dance Team will participate in the 2017 United Spirit Association (USA) Summer Camp! At this stage, we are still deciding whether or not to have a home camp (July 17-19) or to travel off campus like we did last year. If we travel offsite, we will either commute each day or spend the night. Camp will be held at California State University, Sacramento from July 18-20. INDOOR FACILITIES THIS YEAR!! While we cannot make camp mandatory, camp helps set the foundation for the team and the season ahead. Students use this time to bond and establish friendships, learn choreography (at least 3-4 routines each), set goals for the year, build rapport with Coach Carla, and much more.
