*All Paper work must be turned in by June 30, 2009.

Failure to have the paperwork submitted by June 30, 2009 will result in participant being dropped from program.

Final Report Card (Progress report will not be accepted).

Physical must be on 2009 Pop Warner form (Available on the website).

Any missing paperwork not collected at registration.

Practices -  Start Monday - Friday from 5:30-7:30pm in August @

Vista Magnet Middle School.   After Labor Day, practices will drop to 3 days/week,

same times (5:30-7:30). There are 10 games in a season. Flag squads

practice 3 days/week during the month of August 5:30-7:30, and drop

to 2 days/week after Labor Day, but the coach may alter the time if

it is too much for the girls.  There are approximately 6-8 games in a

normal Flag season.  The last game is usually before Halloween.

The cheer squads will travel to all games (except Home, away Bowl

Games, and Invitational).  Games are on Saturdays, beginning with a

pre-season game during Labor Day weekend, and are played at home

(Lincoln) or at the home field of the opponent (you can see where we

do go (other cities in our league) on the VPW website:

http://www.vistapopwarner.com/vpwlocations.htm

Registration costs  - Included: The uniform (shell, skirt, liner, socks, briefs,

hair streamer), camp gear, insurance, basic photo package, trophy,

cheer camp, and the local cheer competition.

Not Included: Shoes will need to be purchased separately later; they are usually

ordered as a team - you will get more information about this before the season begins.

We will also be contacting you for uniform fittings in May.

Competitions - The Local Cheer Competition will be at the end of

October and the top teams will move on to

Regional’s (at the end of November-around Thanksgiving weekend);

top teams at Regional’s will go to Florida during the first week of

December (usually).

One other thing that we do before the season begins is Meet the

Coaches Day.  This is the day the girls will meet their coaches and

parents will get LOTS of helpful information!

This is also the time to turn in paperwork (final report card, physicals etc.)

Look for this date & location on the VPW Website Calendar.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions and

remember to visit our website regularly for updates on upcoming

events.  We hope to see you and your child on the field for the

2009 season….

Your Cheer Coordinator,

Linda Shadoan
