Time for some "Spring Training"

Congratulations on making the Boyer Valley varsity cheer squad!

Since we weren't able to get together at the end of this school year, and if/when we'll be able to meet before school starts again in the Fall- it would be a HUGE help if you would commit yourself to working on cheerleading on your own this Summer.

I have a "wiki," a Website I've set up to help you.

http://cheerpositive.wikispaces.com

"Newbies" like Jade & Kaitlyn may want to pay special attention to the first few pages." Of course, everyone should work on voice (Shannon) and I'd love if we'd include more jumps this year, so everyone should take a look at that too.

• Basic Cheer JUMPS
• Basics for Voice; Tone, Volume, & Cadence
• Basics, Fundamentals, & Technique

• BV Chant List
• BV Cheer Calendar
• BV Fight Song

You may also check out my YouTube CHEER Channel for even more videos of cheers, chants, jumps, and conditioners- not to mention, the school fight song dance.

When you look at the calendar, keep in mind that everything is tentative at this point. I will let you all know when things get more solidified, closer to next school year.

Because we need for our squad to work together as a unit, and because you should get as much out of cheerleading as you can, I encourage you to read the series of 15 short features on the Pyramid of Success found on cheerpositive.wikispaces.com too. Please don't ignore this or take it lightly. You want to develop things like self-control, poise and confidence for your own sake and we all need all of you to develop enthusiasm, teamwork, loyalty, and awareness for the sake of our squad as a team.

If/when you can make it work, you may want to get together with some of your classmates once in a while this summer. Just to get to know each other, even if you don't work on any cheers, jumps or the fight song dance together.

2012 Football Squad

Quincy Baker, 12

Shannon Zehner, 12

Jennifer Zehner, 10

Jade Allard, 9

Catherine Dublinski, 9

Kaitlyn Holben, 9

Larissa Hollinger, 9

As some of you know, we ran out of school year and couldn't manage to fit in a mascot tryout. At least 7 students have shown interest- unfortunately at least five of those may not be academically eligible. If you know anyone with good grades and a good sense of humor, please encourage them to contact me this summer. If they look for Cujo's facebook page, there are tons of videos of college mascots in his "timeline," that they can get ideas from.

Looking forward to a great football season,

Coach Mallory

CONCESSIONS: Apr 19 MS Track Meet Rescheduled for May 1

 FYI- "the JH track meet postponed last Thursday is going to be made up next Tuesday May 1st." ~John "Ernie" Klien, Athletic Director

Therefore...If you were scheduled to work the April 19th Track Meet- we will need you to work May 1. Please talk to your employers or other coaches to make arrangements, or please find someone who can work for you. Thank You.

Therefore... this will preempt our Tryout Practice on May 1. It may be rescheduled for Thurs Apr 27 to be able to fit it in between all the track meets going on. I'd have it on May 2, but we have an early out and therefore probably a teacher in-service.

Please Wash & Return Uniforms ASAP

Yep, it's that time of year again. Basketball season is over so I need to ask for your uniforms and warm-ups back- even if you're planning on cheering again next year, you still need to return them. Failure to do so can result in fines or prevent you from graduating.

I'll be glad to let Cammey, Samantha, and Zinger borrow them back so that your parents can display them at your graduation open houses. I'll sure be happy to loan Shannon's back this summer for Senior pictures, but everyone. Thank You all.

Good Luck Seniors. Hope you underclassmen will cheer again next year!
