Spotter Policy

COACHES,

            Varsity has adopted a new spotter policy!  Extra spotters will not be on the floor unless requested!  Cheer Power, NCA, and UCA will still be using spotters on the floor!  We would like to ask if you do not want us to spot your team that you put your own coaches on the floor.  Also- PLEASE spot your teams in warm ups!  We do have most injuries occurring on the warm up floor!  WE NEED TO KEEP OUR ATHLETES SAFE!

MUSIC:
  Bring 2 quality recorded CDs or an MP3 player.   Provide a representative to run music at the music station. Music systems are different; therefore, coaches are strongly advised to create routines that finish at least 5 seconds before the maximum time limit in order to avoid time limit penalties.   If a mistake is made because of Cheer Power’s/Power Dance’s personnel or sound system failure, the team will be allowed to perform again from the point in the routine where the mistake was made.
