August 2025 – Fall Cheerleading

To prospective student athletes:

The Fall Cheerleading preseason will begin on Tuesday August 19^th from 3:00PM to 5:00PM. Students must bring a water bottle and a snack. Preseason will continue Tuesday through Friday, 8/19 through 8/22 with practice schedule below:

• Monday 8/18: No Practice
• Tuesday 8/19 3:00PM to 5:00PM in the Student Union
• Wednesday 8/20 12:30PM to 2:00PM in Fitness Room and the Track
• Thursday 8/21 3:00PM to 5:00PM in the Student Union
• Friday 8/22: To Be Determined

Our first practice should not be the first time you begin stretching, conditioning or working out all summer. In order to be properly prepared these are things that each athlete is doing consistently every day – in order to be successful and also safe.

Although Minuteman offers a no-cut policy, this rule does not mean that all athletes are entitled to participate at every game or competition during the season. This is a varsity sport – not an intramural or town team. All athletes are expected to attend all practices and games. Work and/or co-op are not an excuse to miss either practice or a game. Please make a decision prior to the start of the season. If your priorities are work related, please reconsider joining the team. It is not fair to the other students.

All athletes need a recent (within one year) physical to participate in high school sports. Students must submit a copy of the physical. The permission form signed by your parent/guardian is also required before athletes are allowed to participate. All of the online forms – PERMISSION, CONCUSSION, ANTI-HAZING AND RECENT PHYSICAL must be submitted ASAP!

All of our scheduling and any information needed is available on our team Band (app). Once you join the team, contact Head Coach Rayner for the invite to join. If you have any questions going forward, please feel free to reach me at raynererica629@gmail.com .

Sincerely,
Erica Rayner
Head Cheerleading Coach
