Congratulations KB

I may say this kind of thing almost every year, but I TRULY mean it this time- it couldn't have happened to a nicer girl. Sure she has model good looks, sure she'd involved in a lot of stuff, and sure she's popular and all that- but as long as I've known her, Kaitlyn Bonsall has been accepting and friendly to all students no matter who they are (or how weird they are, frankly). She treats everyone the same. She's one of the hardest working students I know and she also happens to be one of the best artists in the school. She could be fooling me, I am pretty gullible, but I'm pretty sure that she's pretty well grounded and has a lot of character and integrity too. I'm really happy for her and proud of her as her cheerleading coach. I'm also really proud of the students at Boyer Valley, not just for voting for her, but really, all six of the Senior guys and girls you voted in as candidates are basically great kids, not just popular or good looking.

Middle School Practice

Junior Cammey Hast teaches new cheers to a slew of 7th and 8th graders

Junior High Mascot, "Mohamed Ali" suits up for the first time.

Home Opener

Alum Ken Kahl ('01), BV's first mascot, poses with his old friend, Cujo

Basketball cheerleader, Tiffany came back to torture Cujo with the run-thru hoop and help the football squad with a few chants

Varsity Memo

Our first MS Cheer practice looked promising today. 7 -7th graders (should've been 8! but one was missing) , 5 -8th graders, plus one 8th grade mascot! If/when any of you have 7th hour free on Wednesdays if you want to help me coach them, that would be great. Brenda and Ashley, it would help a lot if you can work with your younger sisters on cheers and jumps. I know siblings don't always get along real great but I think that both MS and HS would benefit.

If you can make it, it will be awesome if you can support them by coming to their games-

 In case you didn't know- Sam is out sick all this week and Kait will miss a week later in the season when she has her tonsils out. I gave up on Stephanie since I'd heard that she wasn't gonna cheer. Please plan on practicing EVERY MONDAY and most Wednesdays if you can (this means YOU, Brenda! Where ya been? It does NOT mean you, Cam- unless you ever decide to quit VB). Some Wednesday's I'll have faculty meetings, so we may either need for you to work without me or practice at 3:20 rather than 2:20- we'll cross those bridges when we come to them.
Here's the outline of your Pep Rally for this Friday-

• Fight Song
• Whoa Baby Whoa
• Cross Country Captains Talk
• Who Rocks the House
• Volleyball Captains Talk
• Grunt
• Football Captains Talk
• V-IC-TO-RY
• Fight Song

MS Cheer Memo

If you lose your schedule, you can print a new one at http://cheerpositive.wikispaces.com/MS+Cheer+Schedule

You can always visit the Cheer Wiki to find things like these:

• Boyer Valley Fight Song
• BV Cheer Calendar
• BV Cheer Chat
• Links
• MS Cheer Schedule
• Purpose Driven Cheerleading
• Voice; Tone, Volume, and Cadence

I will try to post copies of our chant list on there too.

I was impressed by how well and how quickly you all learned your first chant today. It should be easy for you to learn a lot of chants next Wednesday so that you'll do well at our first game next Thursday.  I'm REALLY excited about what a great Cheer program we have this year- thanks to YOU!

It will be wonderful if we can get more than 3 people at any of the Monday games this season, although I want to support the Cross Country and Volleyball teams and coaches anyway I can, so please pick a date and run it by your VB or XC coaches first. I "CCed" them this email so that they know what is going on.  (Coaches, if your reading- can you please take team pictures and email them to me for Web & YrBk or set up a time for me to take one as soon as is convenient? Thanks)

It will be wonderful if we can get one or two of your parents to drive some of you to the Charter Oak-Ute and Woodbine games.

Even if The Sep. 9 game were the only one we could cheer at, practicing this season will prepare you to be an even better squad for basketball season.  I realize that many of you may not end up cheering in high school, so I hope that what you learn in MS Cheer will be fun and give you a great sense of school spirit. FYI, Cammey Hast cheers at HS FB games even though she plays Volleyball, so if you learn enough and get good enough, we can make things work (basketball's harder).

Reminder- I've already ordered t-shirts for everyone but Cat, Chelsea, and Cassie, so as soon as you bring your $15 you can have the top part of your uniform. We'll get the skirts out to you next week, before the game Thursday. I will order shirts for the 3C's ASAP, I have some non cheerleaders that are interested too.

Be sure to share this email with your parents and feel free to talk to me if you have any questions that I can help with. But when in doubt, check the Wiki.

"Legacies" (Cheerleaders with older sisters in cheer) Fernanda and Emily, and maybe Mali and Melinda too, although it may be harder for you- Any chance you get, please have your siblings teach, practice or review cheers with you. You might also ask them to teach you jumps too.

Looking forward to NEXT Wednesday,

Coach Mallory

Run-Thru idea

Whiting

Boyer Valley tradition required that cheerleaders perform one push-up for every point the Bulldogs have on the scoreboard after every touchdown. That meant a LOT of work, since we beat the Warriors 82-12!

90-90 Hip Shift with Hemi Bridge and Balloon modified from Postural Rest...

This is an easy and AWESOME conditioner. You say you want to work on your abs, your obliques, and your glutes?

I say I want you to work on your diaphragm so that you can yell louder and longer at a lower pitch. If you ever want to build stunts, you're going to need a strong core, whether you're a base or a flier.

THIS simple exercise works ALL of that! Weird and new as it looks, watch this video and give it a try.

As if abs and glutes weren't enough- it improves your posture too, which should help your poise and confidence (two of the last 5 Pyramid blocks).

Calves on the wall, use a stool or exercise ball if it helps, smaller ball between your knees, thighs parallel to the wall, then try blowing up a balloon.

Try it, I DARE you. I know these seem crazy, but this Postural Restoration/Balloon exercise and the Cross-Crawl that I shared with you at the beginning of the summer are OUTSTANDING cheer conditioners.

Mid-summer homework assignment for the first half of John Wooden's Pyramid of Success

Alertness - Please try to notice things about a person, place or thing that you previously overlooked. Share what you notice with someone else.

Self Control -  Please try not to expressing every feeling you have as soon as you feel it. Please try to see how long you can go without cussing or using the finger. Please challenge yourself to deliberately do something healthy for yourself or kind for someone else every day that you either ordinarily wouldn't or would by nature not want to do.

Friendship - If you haven't yet, please try to learn more about someone on either HS or MS cheer whom you don't know very well. Please try to see potential or positive things in someone who perhaps you've considered mildly annoying. Please write a note to someone who's already your friend telling them something you admire or appreciate about them.

Loyalty - Start buying lots of things that are purple or have something to do with bulldogs. It doesn't have to be clothing, it can be pencil cases or bookmarks or nail polish or cards. Anything.

Cooperation- Please read or re-read through each of the notes I've posted about the Pyramid of Success so far. Please think about things you can do to help cheer go smoothly this year- especially if you've seen sports or clubs (including cheer) that had a lot of conflict in the past.

Enthusiasm - Please get excited about how YOU are going to get to rev people up, be positive and encouraging to make our school a better place, and build a sense of community and pride at BV

Industriusness - PLEASE view the DVD's I gave out at the end of the year and try to learn or review as many chants as you can. Please work on and practice as many cheer jumps as you can.
