FAQs

What if I can't attend a practice or clinic?

That's okay! We created this experience keeping in mind that everyone is busy and might have conflicts along the way. Communicate your conflict with your coach and determine a plan. Clinic material will be shared online following the clinic to allow all cheerleaders access to the materials even if they cannot attend.
