HJFA Cheerleading uniform distribution/ordering was held this year on Sunday June 2, 2024. Each cheerleader will be given a cheer vest and skirt, provided by HJFA, which will need to be returned CLEAN at the end of the season. Please do your best to wash your uniform after each game in cold water, being sure to lay flat to dry. These items CANNOT be dried in the dryer! If you missed uniform distribution and need to purchase any items, please notify me as soon as possible so that we can discuss measurements/sizes. Any questions can be sent directly to Katie Sullivan, Vice President of Cheerleading at [email protected].

REQUIRED (ORDERED THROUGH HJFA):

Turtle neck/liner, Spanks, Pom Poms, Bows - one gold, one pink, Warm-Up Jacket

TO PURCHASE INDEPENDENTLY:

• ALL WHITE sneakers (all canvas shoes such as Keds are discouraged since they stain easily)
• ALL WHITE no-show socks
• White sports bra or camisole for under uniform (these need to be worn each game as we may need to change uniforms due to weather and we do not always have sufficient bathrooms.)
• White winter gloves
• White or royal blue headband style ear warmers

Cheerleading practices are held outside of Hampton High School and will begin Monday, July 29, 2024. Traditionally we have had practices Monday through Friday from 6-8 PM until the start of school. Coaches will be able to adjust days/times based on the individual team's needs. Once school begins, practices will decrease to 2-3 days a week (likely to be Tuesday/Thursday with the possibility of Wednesday per coach discretion) and times adjusted due to school and decreased sunlight.

PRACTICE REQUIREMENTS:

• Bring a water bottle and wear comfortable athletic wear and sneakers (game shoes are not required for practice).
• For the safety of all of the girls, we ask that NO jewelry be worn and hair be pulled back for all practices and games.
• Since there is never a guarantee on bathroom accessibility (we are not guaranteed accessibility to the school building), we STRONGLY encourage your cheerleader to use the bathroom PRIOR to practice - two hours can get a little long without it, especially for our little ones.
