We started our practice with some fun introductions. Each of the girls had to tell everyone their first and middle names; their favorite color; how many siblings they have; something that makes them unique (we need to work on this one); and why they love cheer. Little do they know that I will remember their full names from here on out and may or may not call them by it!!
Next I conditioned their little hearts out! Who knew running 2 laps, kicks and jumps would be so hard!! It was really hot out at the beginning of practice, but we all came to a consensus that we need to drink water throughout the day!! Hopefully the warm-up will take less of a toll on them tomorrow
Hot and tired I put them into informal stunt groups and we went through basic fundamentals of stunting. Brittannee and I were extremely impressed with how well everyone worked together!! We hit a few extensions tonight which is a big high five in my opinion. Also, I'd like to shout out to my 3 JV girls who have never cheered and mastered a prep bump down in 30 minutes of stunting...next is cradling my friends!!!
It was an awesome start to our season!! I'm so excited I cannot even begin to tell you! Keep up the hard work and the positive attitudes, I truly enjoyed coaching y'all tonight!! Let's make it the best season yet!!
xoxo
