6. What, at this point, prohibits us from
going?
We need a critical mass of athletes to attend, otherwise it becomes
cost prohibitive and/or we can’t compete in our division.
We are competing Medium Varsity. If we don’t have 16 who can
feasibly compete in Medium Varsity, we will not go.
ALL athletes who go WILL compete at a minimum in Game Day.
If you go in good standing, you WILL see the competition floor!

Chaperone Costs
Flight – No checked bag fees (Cheers MUST carry on game day uni and comp uni)
At least one t-shirt
ANY extra money WILL go to the athletes! (Tshirts, bows, treats, incidentals, etc. If we
can’t spend it, we will carry it over to your balance for next season). Seniors – see me.

district approved vacay.)
