OCYCA Competition 2008
CHEERLEADERS
Ø Competition will be held at our own Marshfield High School on November 21st for Midgets and November 22nd for Mites and Pee Wees.
Ø The approximate performance times are as follows:
Mites will start at 10:00am, doors open at 9:00am.
Pee Wees will start 4:00pm, doors open at 3:00pm.
Everyone will have to exit the gym between the above sessions to allow setup, clean up and allow cheerleaders to begin penalty time without interference.
Midgets will start at 7:00pm, doors open at 6:00.
Ø Cheerleaders will have to be there much earlier than the above times to warm up. Also cheer teams have to go through penalty time. Penalty time is when they do their routine in front of a judge to make sure that everything is legal. Attached is a notice that states the exact time to be there.
Ø OCYCA would like you to refrain from bringing children. This would provide seating for everybody.
Every year spectators may find themselves standing in the back of the gym near the fire exits and
sometimes they can’t see when there child performs.
Ø If you have to bring your child, strollers will be NOT be allowed.
Ø No hand signs, no wall signs, no balloons, no coolers and no food.
Ø Dress Rehearsal will be Thursday, November 20th from 5:30 – 6:30 at Marshfield High School. Parents are invited to watch all teams.

Ø OCYCA has mandated that everybody comes ready on Saturday so we need to make sure this gets done. There is no space to fix hair because all cheerleaders will be in the gym waiting.
Ø Many parents have asked me to tell you that they will be decorating their cars with Purple and White streamers as well as using sponge bottle shoe polish to write on their windows (GO Marshfield Cheerleaders) and would like you to join in. Also, please take the time to wear purple clothing. The girls need to know we support them and what better way but to show our spirit.
Ø Absolutely no wall or hand signs are allowed.
Ø No Strollers. No Balloons. No Coolers. No Food.
Ø Absolutely no bags, jackets, etc. can be worn into the school. Cheerleaders will be directed to the cheerleader entrance and brought right into the warm school. They will have water available to them all day so no water bottles. There is absolutely nothing the cheerleader should be holding.
Ø Please make sure your cheerleader eats a good meal before arriving. Please pack a brown bag snack and water. ALL DISPOSABLE ITEMS!!!!!!!!
Ø Uniform: Bodysuit, briefs, skirt, shell, white ankle socks, hairbow (coaches will distribute prior to competition) and MYC sneakers. Please make sure their uniform and sneakers are exceptionally clean.
Ø DO NOT BE LATE!!!!
