COACHES CHECK-IN AND HOSPITALITY
CHECK-IN
Upon arrival, please go to team check-in. If you have any changes to your numbers that affect your division, please let them know at this time. You will receive wrist bands for your coaches listed upon registration. This will give you access to the warmup room and gym. Recreational team coaches will need to submit your letters of affiliation to Danni Chapman at cheerpca@gmail.com. Link to Recreational Participant Waiver below.
TEAM AREA
After you check in, a BHS cheerleader will guide you and your team to your designated area. Teams will have this space to keep their items and be a team space.
NEW! PROP HOLDING
Since our team holding areas in the hallways is very narrow, we now ask that all teams hold their props in our prop holding area. This will be right next to our warmup area and we will be happy to keep these items safe for you and ready to go when you need them!
COACHES ROOM
We do provide a room for coaches to come take a break, relax, grab a snack and mingle with other coaches. We will be providing a live stream of the competition in this room as well.
WARMUP ROOM & MUSIC
WARMUP ROOM
Only dressed cheerleaders & coaches with wrist bands will be allowed in the warmup room. Wrist bands will be given to registered* coaches at team check-in. All registered coaches must be background checked by their programs administration.
Only teams during their designated times will be allowed in warmup area. Warmups can be stressful enough, so we try to provide as much privacy and less distraction to ease the already high stress level. During warmups please also be mindful and respectful of others warming up their teams. Playing your own music and loud props will be restricted until your full mat warmup time.
WARMUP TIMING
For warmups, you will have a check-in time 5 minutes before your warmup time. This will be located near team check-in.
Warmups will be the following:
5 min tumbling warmup
5 min stunting warmup
5 min hold
5 min full 9 panel floor with music
*Please let parents know only coaches (with wrist bands given at check-in) and cheerleaders in uniform will be allowed in the team areas. These areas will include athlete locker rooms, training room, warmup room, and all team holding areas.
MUSIC
Please bring your team's music on your phone to plug into our system. iPhone is preferred and an adapter will be available in the warmup room. Any other adapters, coaches will need to provide.
ATHLETIC TRAINER
If needed, our athletic trainer will be located close by, in the holding area of the main gym. Please bring your own tape / pre-wrap if athletes need to be wrapped.
