Great Season!

I know its been awhile since I updated this but I wanted to tell you all what a great football season this has been and I cannot wait till next year! Basketball cheer tryouts start today!

Middle school football cheerleaders had a great year and learned so much! I am so proud of how far you all came!

JV cheerleaders had a great season and I loved the routine you guys did!!

Varsity! I am so proud of each and every one of you for how far you came in such a short amount of time! To learn a routine in a month and perfect it as fast as you did was more than I have asked!! I cannot wait till next year!

Please don't forget to turn in your uniform to your coach! Also if you have not yet paid for your respective team items please get that in as soon as possible!

August 24th through 28th

Congrats for making it through the first full week of school and practice! For JV and Varisty they have already been through their first game which is a great feeling! This week we have practice as usual. For JV and Middle School your game this Thursday is in Hilton Head so make sure you get your work ahead of time since you will be getting out of school fairly early.

I hope everyone can make it out to the Varisty's first HOME game on Friday!! Wear your green and gold!!

We have about 15 girls signed up for the Little Falcon cheer camp so keep spreading the word!! The more girls we sign up the more money goes into the cheerleading account!! Have a great week and GOOOOO FALCONS!

Middle School and JV will pracite Monday and Tuesday 3:45 to 5:30 and ACX on Wen from 4 to 5:30.

Fundraising Opportunities

Our fundraising comes from 2 sources, Ad Sales and Little Falcon cheer camp. Im happy to say we have set a date of September 12th for the Falcon Cheer Camp and the Friday after that will be the half time where they will show what the learned!

I have a link to a google doc of the Booster Club Sales ad for you to print out! Our goal is for everyone to sell $50 in ads, and yes I am selling them too! Please start talking to people now and lets show the Booster Club that we can sell more ads than the Football team!! :)

As soon as you get your physical done please drop it by Ben Lippen and put it in Christy Lamberts box on her door or you can give it to me the morning of FCC camp.

Here is the list of the girls that I DO have.

FCC Camp

Hello ladies! I hope everyone is having a great summer vacation! FCC camp will be here before you know it so I wanted to update you on a few things. First the camp fee is $119 plus $5 for each day for lunch. So the total is $134 which will be due the first day of camp! If you would like to get it in before that you can mail a check to me made out to Ben Lippen.

My address is 109 Saddlerock Dr. Irmo, SC 29063. Also you will need to turn in a medical release form located on the FCC website. Here is the link, http://www.cheerfcc.org/downloads/campforms/medicalreleaseform.pdf

If you do not have this form FCC will not allow you to participate!!

Thanks again ladies and I look forward to seeing you there!

FOR JV AND MIDDLE SCHOOL ONLY!!
After the first day of FCC we will be trying on uniforms and measuring to order the extra uniforms that we will need. If you will not be at FCC camp PLEASE contact your coach asap so we can get with you about what we need. Uniforms take 4 to 6 weeks and as I know from experience from last year it will probably take 6 weeks not 4.

Wanted!! A Few Great Ideas! (Varsity)

Hello ladies! I wanted to make sure you guys were being constructive over the summer break and brainstorming ideas on how to get more girls to the Little Falcon Cheer Camp! Since this is one of two main fundraisers we need to advertise and get as many girls there as possible! We will be advertising at both elementary school campuses with a short "skit" or show to get the girls excited about want to attend but we can also do this at churches since it is open to any girl not just a Ben Lippen student.

I will also be putting together a small group of moms to help plan this event.

Thanks again!
