MISCELLANEOUS:
SQUAD PARENTS: Each squad has one or two squad parents who act(s) as a communication facilitator and organizer for
the advisor, squad members and their families. Duties include: contact person for uniform and camp wear delivery,
ordering the stools and equipment needed for each girl on squad, helping to coordinate the little girl summer camp
(with the help of the squad), forwarding emails from Advisor and coaches to squad parents/members, and other misc.
duties. The first two months are really hectic and then it slows down. Each squad mom will receive a list of approved
vendors and help from the previous squad moms to help with the transition.
CAPTAINS: Captains will not be chosen at this time. The Advisor and Coaches will be choosing the captains based upon a
variety of factors, including positive leadership, interactions shown at practices, etc. If applicable, past performance on
pep will be taken into consideration as well. If a girl is interested, she should let Mrs. Dunn know.
Carpet Squares and Stools: These will be ordered by squad with the help of the squad mom.
Important Contact Info: If you have questions, let us know! We are here to make this the BEST experience it can be!
