TRAVELING

• All athletes are required to ride the bus to Dallas. The buses will leave from KC Cheer. If you are parking your car at KC Cheer please be sure to park only in front of our building or at the arena.  If you are dropping off please enter from the WEST END of the back parking lot and stay out of the way of the buses. Please be on the bus by 6:15 a.m. so we can leave promptly at 6:30 a.m.  

•  The bus will only be stopping for cheerleaders to get off for food and drinks one time, so please make sure your cheerleader has snacks and drinks for the entire 9 hour trip, as well as money for lunch when we stop. We will also be making a few "stretch" stops for the drivers, but cheerleaders will not be allowed off the bus during these stops.

• When we arrive in Dallas, cheerleaders should take their luggage to their rooms and get ready for a quick team meeting to discuss the next day. Coaches will let team moms know of the time once we get to Dallas. Athletes should be in bed no later than 10:00 p.m., as we have an early day on Saturday.
