UNIFORM

“WEAR YOUR UNIFORM WITH PRIDE”

We have always been named as one of the smartest teams around.  Always wearing the same, looking the same and taking pride in what we wear.  We are noticing more and more each week that this is slipping, right down to wearing multi coloured odd socks week after week to name a few. 

Lets not ruin the amazing reputation we have had for many years and get this back on track.  If you are unsure of what your training or competition uniform is please speak to your coaches and they will be happy to assist you.

WORLDS 2012 - FUNDRAISING

Preparations for both the Senior Dance and Senior Cheer Team are going well and all members are working extremely hard.  We have managed to secure some bag packs to help them fundraise for the trip and would love some help from any stars who are available on the dates below:

21^st December – Morrisons Bredbury, SK6 2BR  10-4pm

24^th December – Morrisons Chapel en le Frith, SK23 0HZ 11-4pm      

Help is required all day from stars on all teams, any times you can do to help these girls out will be much appreciated and remember when you are in the worlds team the younger teams will be helping you raise money.

Please wear black shorts, rising stars tshirt, hair tied back with white bow, white trainers and white socks.

We have found we can also raise funds from collecting used printer cartridges.  If you could collect as many as you can from friends/family/workplace and hand them into Audrey that would be great. 

PLANS FOR THE FUTURE

Due to the rapid growth of Cheerleading as a sport and of Rising Stars as a team we are still looking for ways to improve and push the boundaries.  Over the last few months we have been looking for a building to hopefully use and build into a specialist cheer gym for all our teams to use and train in on a weekly basis.  If you know of a building currently which is big enough and high enough or a sports centre or school which will allow us to keep a permanent sprung floor down please let us know. 

COED LEVEL 5 TRAIN MONTHLY TEAM

Tryouts for this team were a glowing success.  With 13 boys and 16 girls from across the country trying out to be part of the Rising Stars family.  We will keep you updated on their progress as a team and we wish them the best of luck at their first competition at FC in July

SALFORD SPRUNG FLOOR

We have the opportunity to use a sprung floor at Fit City in Salford on a Thurday 8-9pm.  Higher level teams have been allocated a week each which they must attend with their team to work on tumbling etc for just £2 per session.  Dates for this month are:

Please ensure your child attends their scheduled training.  Lifts can be arranged from most areas if you ask.  Members of other teams are also welcome to come along and work on tumbling on their own outside their scheduled week if you like.

CHEERLEADER OF THE YEAR

Finalists for cheerleader of the year will be announced next week on the Rising Stars website.

Every single member of Rising Stars has 1 vote each.  You can vote for your favourite at registration starting next week.

The winner of Cheerleader of the Year will receive their name on our special cheerleader of the year trophy, their very own page on the website and half price term fee’s for the entire year – what a prize J
