PREPARING FOR COMP

​

PACK YOUR BAG

Ensure you have your uniform or costumes washed and ready at least 2 days prior to comp. Pack your bag at least 1 day before comp. This way you have time to deal with any issues that may arise i.e. missing items. Please use the checklist below to ensure you have everything packed.

 

PLAN YOUR DAY
Check your team's Meet Time and Meet Coach.

Work out the time required for travel, getting ready, waking up, etc. Set alarms if this helps you.

Purchase spectator tickets and pre-paid parking.

Check the maps for locations to drop off and collect athletes.
At Comp check your athlete collect times for after they perform and for Awards

 

TANNING

For older athletes, we recommend a spray tan or applying self-tan but preferably only to exposed skin areas. If you choose to tan, please ensure it’s done at least 2 days before the competition to avoid staining your white uniforms.

 

NAILS

Nails need to be cut short so that when facing palm up no nail is visible. NO NAIL POLISH PLEASE!

 

JEWELLERY

Jewellery MUST be removed before arriving at the competition. If you’re worried about having your jewellery out that early, it MUST be removed before heading to warm up. It is a requirement of the Event Provider that all jewellery is removed and not taped. This is for the safety of all athletes on the floor and can also mean a deduction in points. It cannot be given to the coach for minding so please ensure you have a bag.

 

BODY LOTION/MOISTURISER
Cheer athletes must not moisturise on the day of competition as it will make your skin slippery and difficult to grip (especially flyers).
