​
ARE PRACTICES REQUIRED FOR FALL SIDELINE CHEER?
Please try your best to get your child to practice. Cheerleading is a team sport. If your child misses practice, it does impact the rest of the team, especially if the team is stunting during that practice.  If your child must miss a practice, please make sure to let the team parent and coaches know in advance.
WHO WILL BE COACHING MY CHILD?
All RYC teams will be coached in cheerleading by Forest Hill Central varsity cheerleaders along with Lori Helder as Head Coach for 7/8th grade team and the Competitive Team. They will be coached in tumbling by instructors at Grand Rapids Trampoline. Specific coaches will be assigned after registration.
