They will be Wednesday and Thursday from 3:00-5:00 in the dance room, if you can only make it for a little bit that's fine its better than nothing. Thanks girls I hope you are all still working hard on your goals and don't give up. Pass of date is in 6 weeks lets have everyone on the team on the same level before practices starts and get a super cute pair of sweatpants for reaching the goals. xoxoxo

Senior Night

This coming Friday, so May 3rd, is Senior Night for baseball and soccer. Returning Spinnakers will be performing blood alley for both sports to honor the seniors. If you are not a returner please come attend the games and show your support to Cyprus High if you have no prior commitments. It will be a fun night. If you are a returner you will wear your warm ups from last year. Meet directly after school in the dance room so we can go over blood alley and so you girls can get ready. Wear your white keds with warm ups. Hair just wear it down and straight. Make up just make sure it looks nice. We will get sabres from the closet after school. Let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise everyone else attending just meet at the baseball field at 3:10 for baseball then you will have time to go grab dinner between games or go home and grab a bite of food but plan on being back to the high school football field at 6:30 for the soccer senior night. Thanks girls please text me and let me know if you will be coming or not! xoxo

Motivation

“The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is that little extra.”
― Jimmy Johnson

I love this quote because I hope that all year you girls will put in that little extra effort to be extraordinary instead of just ordinary. xoxoxo

(How are your goals coming along)

Friendly Reminder

Hey girls I have heard of a few concerns, regarding Hookah. Just so everyone is clear... Hookah is a flavored tobacco and none of you are of age to be smoking tobacco, and if you are caught smoking Hookah you will be held to the same punishment in our contract as drugs and alcohol. You girls are smart enough and know you shouldn't be doing this stuff so please don't. And no I'm not accusing anyone just wanted to make sure this wasn't a question or concern down the road. Now we can all be on the same page and just say no to Hookah. xoxox

Happy Birthday Avery!!!

We Hope You Have The Best Birthday Ever!!! XOXOXO

We will be having a pizza party/get to know each other better party.

Come hungry and ready for a fun night! Also each officer needs to please bring a CD player!

May's Schedule

Dear Spinnakers And Parents,

                                       I am sorry that scheduling for May has changed so many times but we are just trying to figure out whats best for everyone since majority of you have prior commitments that  I expect you girls to finish out, so after re-looking at everything I think this will be the best schedule for everyone and hopefully their wont be any major conflicts, if there will be please let me know ASAP and we can figure something out for you, but if this schedule will work for majority this is what it will be for the month of May. We will start practice May 20th and we will practice everyday that week from 3:30-6:30. On Tuesday May 21st we will be learning your camp routine so plan on staying a little later that night because we need to make sure we get it finished. There will be no practice on  May 27th because of Memorial Day but we will practice Wednesday and Friday that week from 3:30-6:30pm. The following week is the last week of school and their will be no practice but we start our Awesome, Hard Working, Summer Practices June 10th! (Which means you have an extra 10 days to get your goals accomplished. We will pass them off that morning)

              

                  I wish we could just have the whole month of May off but this is a crucial time for you girls to learn all your saber commands and start perfecting them so we don't have to take as much time out of our June practices to work on them. Also we really want our camp dance to be AMAZING so the sooner we learn it the more clean, and perfected we can get it by camp.

  Last thing the Wednesdays and Thursday we had scheduled the first few weeks of May I will still keep scheduled and I will be doing a flexibility class the first hour and technique class the second hour. These are not mandatory just there if you would like the extra help.They are like an open gym just come when you can and if you can't don't worry just make sure you are doing what you need to do to meet our team goals! 

                Please let me know before the end of the day that you read this and if this schedule for May will or will not work for you please  :)

xoxoxox

Goals

"Dicsipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishments."

I love this quote because it is so true you can accomplish anything with discipline and dedication. You have got to want it more than anything and be willing to do whatever it takes to get there. Hope your goals are coming along great please let me, Sara, or any girl on the team know if you need any help at all reaching your goals. Don't waste time because it is going by fast! 

XOXOXO

Grades!

Hey girls I still need grades from the following:  Karlee C, Hanna, Avery, Avianna, and Sydnee

Please make sure I get them no later than Tuesday. You can have the ladies in the office put your report card in my box at the school or you can email them to me! Thank You.
I want to give a HUGE congrats to Bailey Greer, Brittney Jacketta, Nicole Mortenson, Shayla Bywater, and Myranda Peterson on receiving a 4.0 this last quarter. Good Job Ladies. Also I was very proud that out the 31 report cards I have received, 25 of them had a GPA above 3.0, even better 20 of the 25 had above a 3.5. Thats so great. Please keep up the good work and always remember how important your grades are!
XOXOXO
P.S.this is the last week you can make up zeros so please make sure you get it done. Let me know if you have any questions.

Turning Firebird Leap

 

For those who maybe have reached all their goals on their goal sheet and are wanting a challenge for the next few weeks. I would love to have a handful of you who would be able to do a turning Firebird leap in our dance routine this year and this video breaks it down perfect. If this is to difficult right now either A: work on your regular Firebird jump or B: Try The Firebird Switch Leap

A: Normal Firebird Leap

B: Firebird Switch Leap

Thank You!

Spinnakers and Parents:
                           Thank you so much for making it a priority to be at the tonight and for everyone being so willing to do whatever is needed to help this year. It really is going to be a great year. Just a couple things I wanted to post to clarify and so you can look back to remember. First if you are wanting to purchase a sabre please send me a text by tomorrow night if you didn't talk to me about it at the meeting. We will get more info on the inscription here within the next week :). Second, on the forms please make sure I have the emergency contact form no later than May 1st, so I can put it in their files to have in case anything ever happened we would be prepared. Next the physical forms must be completed by August 15th in order for your daughter to perform, but your daughter can't get the physical until after May 1st, so anytime between May and August you may turn the physical form in. If you wait until the fall then they do a day at the clinic for all fall sports and I think its a little cheaper than just going to your normal physician, so as soon as I know that date I will post it, otherwise you are welcome to do that on your own just make sure it gets in by August 15th please. Next we had some more spots for concerts come up so we will be contacting those who didn't get to sign up before we turn the spots over to those who already did sign up. Next item,  please let me or Tiffany Anderson know if you are interested in participating in the beer handlers class so we can get that scheduled sometime this month, so we are ready to go in May. Here is the link to get your food handler permit online http://www.statefoodsafety.com/food-handler/utah/salt-lake-valley-health-department it is $21.00 online or you can go to a class that's offered and its only $15.00 all that info is on the website just make sure you have it before you start; we need these for the u of u to so its a good idea just to get it ASAP we will also keep you posted when the shirts will be ready and when the money for the shirt will be due but the shirt fee will be $5.00 max. Last thing is our team bonding activity will be planned for April 20th around 7:00 pm once I know the for sure time and place I will post it, but until we get the details figured out please just keep this night open because I would LOVE to have everyone there (plus you get free food :) ). If you ever have any questions please call, text, or email me and I would be happy to answer any of them. Thanks again for your support I am very excited for this year to start.

Happy Birthday Myranda!!

We Hope You Have The Best Birthday Ever!! XOXOXOXO

Practice May 1st

Hey cute girls our first practice is going to be a very important one. We are having a hip hop choreographer come in to teach you an amazing hip hop routine for camp. We would like to get it all done in one day so I am hoping we can have practice on May 1st from 3-7. I know some of you have other commitments on Wednesdays  and this might not work for you but if you can do what you can to arrange your schedules so this will work that would be great. I would love to have a good month to clean camp so when we perform at camp you girls look amazing! Thanks again for you time and dedication. This year is going to be amazing!

(Please Text Me And Let Me Know If This Will Or Will Not Work For You. Thanks)

No Matter How Hard It Is For You To Get That Aerial Never Quit Keep Believing In How Awesome You Are

Words Of Wisdom

"The Surest Way Not To Fail Is To Be Determined To Succeed" - Richard Brinsley Sheridan

What Would You Attempt To Do If You Knew You Couldn't Fail......I Hope Your Dreams And Expectations For Yourself Are Limitless! XOXOXO

Aerials!!!

I hope you are all working super hard on your aerial goal because I really do expect all of you to get an aerial, and WHEN you all do I will be the happiest coach in the whole world!! :)  So to help with aerials I have a friend who teaches tumbling right now who is willing to offer private or small group classes. You don't have to take from her, its just an option if you don't know what to do or where to go. She has a facility with mats and items to help you get your aerial fast. If you are interested in the small group classes (5-6 girls) she will charge $15.00 per girl for an hour class and you can keep going until you get it. Some girls will get it the first time some it might take 5 or 6 classes but don't waste time, get started ASAP. If you want a private lesson it will be more per hour but she is willing to offer those as well. The classes would be held either Thursday night 8:30-9:30 pm or Friday evening time TBA and then she will have a couple Saturdays open this month and next for small/ private classes. Text, Email, or Call me if you are interested and would like to get signed up to start some classes, or if you would like more info. This team is going to do big things this year, I know it, and Sara and I are so excited!! xoxoxo Don't let anything stand in your way of your dreams!

Personal Goals

You can find inspiration from others but determination is solely your responsibility.  ~Dodinsky

Hey girls I hope you are working hard on your goals and that you are seeing success and staying positive, I came across this quote and I thought it went along perfect with your goals that you are trying to accomplish. Someone can try and inspire you and push you everyday to reach your goals but until you are determined to accomplish your goals, you wont accomplish much, you will just waste time. How is your determination level? Would you really do whatever it took to reach those goals??? Keep up the good work ladies I am so proud of you!
