Hello Cheer Friends! We are excited to be able to offer THREE MORE competitions! We know affordable "small" gym competitions are difficult to find so we are thrilled to be able to accommodate your needs...
Sat, Feb TBD 2019 - Kansas
Sat, March 16, 2019 - Sedalia, MO
Sat, April 27, 2019 - Arkansas
Please let us know which competitions you plan on attending so that we can plan accordingly. At this point I have committment from more than enough gyms to make all three dates work... so know that we DO NOT plan on canceling unless there are HUGE changes in attendance. SO.... when you get this email just please reply with what teams / divisions and which dates you will be attending. This will help us trememdously with preparing awards and other details.
**Teams that attending multiple SFSC competitions will receive a $5 per Team competitor reg fee discount on 2nd Comp attended. For 3rd competition attended you will receive $10 off per Team competitor reg fee. Example you attend in Nov and pay normal fees ~ attend in Jan and pay $55 reg fee ~ also attend in March and pay $50 reg fee. You will also be eligible for numerous additional awards the more competitions you attend.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions! We seriously cannot wait to see everyone... We miss coaching tremendously but sure love watching your teams continue to improve from season to season. Love and Cheers,
Melissa & Maegan Morrison
