Notes:

v  Doors open at 7:30am for the public

v  The coaches of your team will meet you at your scheduled time above at the entrance to the warm up room. At this point, the coaches will hand the athletes their wristbands and have a parent meeting to give you any last minute or updated information.. After the parent meeting, the coaches will take their athletes to start warming up. Parents are free to go and watch the event. Parents are not allowed in the warm up room.

v  Once the team has competed, the coaches will take the athletes back to the warm up area to debrief. Parents are asked to follow and pick their child up from the designated spot (that will be confirmed at the meeting) within 10 minutes of competing. We ask that all athletes stay in full uniform with their Pink shirt on until awards.

v  When it is time for awards all teams will be asked to meet their coaches on the competition floor. All Panther teams will sit together at awards. After the awards, the team will take pictures with their trophy and be released to their parents. At this point you are free to stay and cheer on the other Panther teams or you may leave.

Uniform

v  Athletes are asked to arrive to their meet time with their uniform on. Which means if you need to get ready at the venue, please arrive before the meet time listed above,

·  Prep uniforms consist of your Pink T-shirt, black shorts, white shoes and hair bow.

v  All athletes are expected to be in full uniform for Awards. We request that athletes please do not make any adjustment to their hair, bow, or uniform between when they compete and their awards ceremonies.

Hair

v  Athletes are asked to arrive to their meet time with hair done.

·  All athletes will put all their hair into a high front pony tail and bangs should be pulled back and away from the face. Click here for example.

·  Hair should be worn straight - teasing the ponytail for volume is encouraged for prep athletes.

·  Hair should be secured with a separate hair tie from the one attached to the bow. We ask that you please try to attach the bow so that the ears face forwards when viewed from the front.

·  Once hair is in the pony tail, run a straightener through it several times)

v  Hair must be completed before you can appear in your uniform. Make-up should follow shortly.

Behaviour

v  Panther athletes and families are known throughout the BC Cheerleading community for always being polite, kind, and respectful toward the event producers, staff, and the athletes, coaches and parents from other clubs. We ask that you please join us on “The Panther Way” which is supportive of each and every cheerleader who has chosen to compete in our sport. (Remember you never know who’s sitting right behind you, so please refrain from any form of negative comments about anything, especially about any of the athletes... Think about how you would feel if someone else was talking about your own)

Emergency contacts (To be used only on the day of the event) if you can’t reach your coach.
