TIME COMMITMENT All team members must attend all practices, competitions, and performances. Committing to these events is a huge part of being a team member. Express Cheer Force team members will be participating in competitions throughout the 2020-2021 season. Our competition schedule will be announced at the Parent Meeting in the fall. Choreography for competition routines are created based on the number of athletes on each team. If athletes are unable for any reason to participate in practice and/or competition, it Is a hardship and disruption to others to relearn spacing and/or choreo. It is difficult for the coach to have to re-choreograph a part of or the entire routine. Therefore, being a member of ECF requires an increased level of commitment from both the athletes and their families. FULL YEAR TEAM: Practices are intended to improve upon technique, strength, agility, flexibility, and tumbling. All Team Members are required to attend these classes each week. ****Important to note that all info is pursuant upon allowed regulations, we will need to update as more info is relayed from the state.
