anything lost!

Parents Expectations:
• Entrance for athletes is at the Main entrance.
• Athletes will be nervous to compete and may not want to eat
breakfast in the morning. Please encourage them to have something
 small in their tummy as its uncertain when they may be able to eat
again!
• Athletes NEED to be on time to meeting times so we can optimize our
time together before we compete, please leave extra time to
accommodate for traffic and travelling through the large crowd in the
arena.
• Parents are encouraged to come to the front of the floor in the “fan
section” during our performance time and cheer for their athlete.
Many parents have T-shirts/posters to support their team and
seriously go all out so bring your cheering voice!
• Athletes will take photos after we compete and then we will meet at
the universal meeting spot for pick up. Please note that once athletes
meet with their coaches before they compete, they won’t be able to
leave again to get anything missing or speak to parents until after we
compete.
• Athletes won’t be able to cross into the competition barrier without
their athlete pass so they will need to meet with Coach Kadie at the
meeting spot to get them! Parents will need their spectator tickets to
be able to enter the building.
• Be prepared for the arena to be very loud and overstimulating!
The universal meeting spot for all drop off and pick up times will be outside
the main entrance → Please meet coaches there at drop off to get
wristbands and in case of emergency’s!
