Summer Practices have officially ended!

The regular absent policy as stated in the Top Dog Tryout Packet will go into effect on Monday, August 30th.  Attendance is very important.  Please contact your coach if you are going to be absent for any reason so she can determine how to note the practice.  If the cheerleader or parent fails to notify the coach of an absence then it will be counted as Unexcused.  Please put your coach's cell phone number into your phone!

Don't FORGET!

Cheerleaders:  Please be reminded that when arriving to practice, be sure to sit on the bleachers until your practice is called.  We have several classes running during the day and this helps to keep the floors and trampolines free for our classes and private lessons.

Absence Policy:  Please refer to the TD Constitution to stay in compliance with our policies.  Remember that this is a Team sport and when one cheerleader misses, it affects the whole team.  All cheerleaders need to contact your coach if you are going to miss for any reason.  If a cheerleader or parent fails to notify the coach, the absence will be counted as unexcused.

Parent Corner:

Come Visit The Cheer Shop!!!

Practice Apparel: Practice shirts are now in and are available in the cheer shop.

Shoes are being distributed as they come in.  Since we had several different brands to choose from, they are coming in at different times.

Practice shorts have not arrived yet so wear any black shorts as of now.  If you don't have black shorts then any color is fine.

We are so excited to be able to offer custom Top Dog Flip flops!  What a great way for the whole family to show their Ohana Pride!!!

The Flip flops are high quality surf style, built with a recessed 3 layer sole, arch support, fleece lined and embroidered fabric straps.  They are very similar to Reef sandals.  Order your pair today in the Cheer Shop.  $20 per pair with a pre-order.

There are a lot of great items from several different vendors.  The shop carries TD wear as well as cute and funky cheer wear!  The shop is run by the non-for-profit Top Dog All-Stars with all proceeds going to support programs including TD Too and the scholarship program.

If you are crafty and have any great items you would like to put on consignment in the shop, stop by and talk with Terri or Mary J.!

Fundraising News:

Our first fundraiser was a huge success!  Our families raised over $1650 towards their accounts selling candy!

Our next fundraiser will be our annual Yankee Candle sale.  The sale will run from Sept. 10th - Sept. 26th.  Packets will be coming home soon.  If you would like to get started early, go to www.yankeecandle.com and download the Fall catalog.

Just a Reminder:

New & Returning Parents and Cheerleaders:  Be sure to register on our Members Only Section of the website in order to be able to access the calendar and additional information that is not given to the public.
