PracticesFirst practice week is Nov. 29th, 2021.
Your preferred practice location is selected when you attend an evaluation or cheer clinic. Practices occur one day per week. Kindergarten, 1st/2nd, and 3rd/4th grade teams practice for 60 minutes. 5th/6th and 7th/8th grade teams practice for 90 minutes. Each week coaches teach through organized and detailed practices. Coaches recognize each players skill level, instill a sense of sportsmanship and competitive spirit along with reviewing virtues from the bible each week at practice. Players and cheerleaders should dress in clothes for physical activity while saving their uniforms to wear on game day. |

At HomeFree play is an important part of growing, learning and exercise. Taking time at home will help to reinforce what participants learn at practice.
Each practice, coaches will talk about different virtues based upon practical biblical life lessons. Take these as an opportunity to see what they have learned and can apply to life off the court. Professional players suggest parents should focus on saying three things after a game; I enjoyed watching you play, I love you and did you have fun? The experience of watching youth son or daughter in a sport will go by quickly. Make sure you take the time to enjoy it. |
