Most Often Questions After Try Outs
Hello Everyone,
The following are some of our most often asked questions regarding our placements. For your friends who were not able to come to try outs, don’t worry, we will still be accepting new students until further notice.
1. When do practices begin? Immediately. We will be having practices the week of May 3rd.
2. Are all placements final? No. Our initial placements are usually based off of tumbling. We are human and sometimes make mistakes. Sometimes kids have exceptional try outs and other times kids have terrible try outs. As we get to know our new students, we will tweak our placements until we do choreography at which time we will try to have our final decisions in place.
3. When is Choreography? Choreography will be in August. We will give all of you a choreography schedule sometime in May.
4. How can a student move up in placement? Make sure you attend all of your practices, so we can see if you are ready to move up. Work on your weakest areas of cheer whether it be tumbling, stunting or cheer. Take camps over the summer. Each week during June and July, we will be offering tumbling camps. We will also being doing a couple of stunt camps this summer as well. See our website, www.macscheer.com for more information on our camps. In our final placements, we try to think about what will make each of our teams strong while helping each of our students improve their overall skills.
5. How can a student move down in placement? If you are overwhelmed, please let us know immediately. Sometimes we get excited and place kids on teams that are too advanced for a new student. We do not want any of our students to feel uncomfortable with the skills we are asking from them.
6. Can Families take vacations over the summer? Yes. You will still be charged your monthly tuition, but you can take vacations during the summer. Please do not miss too many practices, so you keep up your skills.
7. Do you have the same teams each year? No. We usually change a team’s level or add a new team or two each year. This year we are adding a Mini Level 2, a Youth Level 1, Sr. Large Level 5 and changing our Sr. Level 4 to a Co-Ed Level 4.
8. When are payments due? Tuition is due at the first of each month. Our preferred way of billing would be through automatic billing. A number of our customers have their credit cards on file with us and allow us to automatically bill them at the first of each month. Janet sends an email every time she charges their credit card. If you would prefer other types of payments, I would encourage you to pay prior to the 15th, as a late fee will be charged to all accounts not paid prior to the 15th of each month.
9. How will I know when other fees are due and what fees are needed? Each of you should have received a fee schedule at try outs. I have also posted a fee schedule in our News Section on the website.
10. Will we be getting new uniforms this year? Our level 1 and 2 teams will be staying in last year’s uniform. Our level 3 and higher teams will be getting the uniform the Sr. Starz wore this season.
11. Will we be having co-ed teams this year? Yes, we will be having an International Level 6 Co-Ed team and a Sr. Level 4 Co-Ed team.
12. Will we place students who were unable to come to try outs? Yes. Our try out was to get the majority of our students placed and to see who was coming back. If you know of kids wanting to try out, they are more than welcome to have us evaluate their skills and place them on one of our teams.
GO MAC's CHEER!!!
