Hello Amador Comp families!

It was so great to observe all of the comp athletes this week at camp. I can already tell this is going to be a great season :) We will be resuming practice on Wednesday, July 28 from 6 – 8 pm in the MP.

Comp Payment Update
I will be delaying the first team payment until the end of August. As we will be receiving some of the eTeamSponsor money, which has already raised over $25,000 for the program, I am also anticipating we will not need to collect all of the checks scheduled for this season.

Please plan to turn in the first payment for the season on Wednesday, August 25 ($350). The UPDATED payment schedule can be found here. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YXVLzlqh4LHAMX0LAUssrI3KiSL6yayKeLuoNV-4SQM/edit

These payments cover competition fees, practice wear, coach certifications, competition music, etc.
Uniform Payment
New athletes were fitted for uniforms this week at camp, and the portal is now open for payment. It will close Monday, July 26 at 10 pm.

Order # 39103621
Customer # 52326000

Practice Wear + Warm Up Jackets
In addition to the uniform, the competition team will be ordering one practice shirt, one sports bra, and warm-up jackets.

Please enter your sizes for the shirt/sports bra here:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Z9E5mur-Vz-D9qA_ZXsok9IIeoSdFLZSrGuctcKYHEU/edit

The practice shirt and sports bra will be covered in the first payment, but the jacket will need to be ordered by each individual family. We will be ordering the Lululemon Define jacket ($118), which I will then have embroidered with the AV logo (cost of embroidery covered by program).

*NOTE: I understand these jackets are expensive, but they are high quality and I am planning to keep them the same for future seasons. For the last Comp warm-up jacket, we paid Varsity approx. $100, and they ended up being low quality, so we will be ordering something that will last longer.

Please purchase the jacket and bring it to competition practice on Wednesday, August 4. You can either purchase online (link below), or at the Lululemon store in Stoneridge.

*Please purchase in the color Black

Let me know if you have any questions!

Best,
Coach Eileen

*This team will be competing in the Large Novice Show Cheer division, and we feel confident that it will be a successful season. The season runs from: July 2021 – February 2022

Program Advisor & Competition Head Coach: Eileen Drury
Hi everyone, I am super excited that Amador is able to have a Competition Team this year!
A little bit about me… this will be my third year coaching at Amador and second year coaching the Competition Team. I am also an Amador Cheer alumni, so I am especially passionate about the program’s success. I was also a college cheerleader, UCA Staff member, and all-star cheerleader — essentially, cheer is my life :)
I can’t wait for this talented group of athletes to take on this new season and work to bring home a National Championship title!
You can contact me at avhscheercoaches@gmail.com or at (925) 989-5611. Text is preferred.
**Please note that I work a full-time job outside of coaching, so I may not always be reachable during the day.

Uniform + Miscellaneous Items Needed
We will be keeping the same uniforms as last season, so only new athletes will need to purchase.
Pam from Varsity will be attending one of our upcoming practices to fit new athletes for uniforms.
*Parents will pay for uniforms directly through the Varsity portal.
*We will also be ordering a warm up jacket and nationals t-shirt (more details to come).

Athletes will need NEW white Nfinity cheer shoes for competition days. Keep em clean for competitions!
Here is my preference: Nfinity Flytes (in white), but any white, low-top Nfinitys will do!

Athlete Conduct
All practices, competitions, fundraisers, and team bonding events are MANDATORY. Work and outside sports/extracurriculars are not excusable absences.
Attitude is everything! We are a relatively small team, and every person counts. There is no room for negativity or doubt. As we work toward a successful season, every athlete must be all in and ready to work hard for the betterment of everyone. The hardest working team always deserves to win!

Looking forward to a fantastic season!
