August 7, 2014 Practice Hello/Routine Cheer Part 1 Video

Well we are exactly halfway completed with our Hello/Routine Cheer.   Below you will find a video of the cheer thus far.  The video is a mirror image of what the girls should be doing.  This means, for example, in the beginning of the cheer, the girls are supposed to cross their legs with their hands behind their backs.  In the video, the girl is crossing with the left leg in front of her right leg.  Because this is a mirror image, our cheerleaders should be crossing their right leg in front of their left legs. 

Here are the words to Part 1 of the Hello/Routine Cheer along with a video and motion descriptions:


The Chargers are back, (Hands behind head and right leg crossed in front of left-  Pivot to face the back - right hand on lower back, turn torso to face the front with legs facing back still)                                                  
An all new sensation. (Turn to face front with arms raised in a touchdown- bring to daggers- right foot steps in front with low V arms)

Heading for the title, (Right arm is in High V formation with left fist on hip- Left arm is in low V formation with Right fist on hip- Low V formation)

The best in the NATION! (left fist on hip for the entire line, right arm in broken T- right arm in daggers, right arm punches up pointing with pointer finger to the sky)

These Tiny Champions, (Feet together prep for a jump- on tip-toes with arms raised above head- swing arms and jump a toe touch on the word Champions)

Are ready for a fight. (turn to the right side prep for a new jump-on tip-toes with arms raised above head- swing arms and jump a pike on the word fight)

We won't be beat, (face front, cross arms with fists- daggers- clap)

August 4, 2014 Practice

I hope everyone had a great time at practice on Monday, because we had a blast!  It was so nice to officially be coaching our team!! The girls picked right up.  We started with some cool new dynamic stretching, a little banana jumping, and then right into our cheers!  The girls practiced 5 sideline cheers for during the game and the very beginning of our Hello/Routine Cheer (used during halftime and during our EXPO in October.  We also worked on 5 different arm motions.

Spirit Bear was sent home with Katie on Monday to bring lots of cheer to her family!  Spirit will be back at practice on Thursday when someone else will have a chance to bring Spirit home!

After practice there was a parent meeting where I was able to meet some of you!!  It was a pleasure meeting you and I am thrilled to be having you as part of our GBC Family!!  For those that may not have originally seen my email, I have received an updated email contact list with all of your information.  I will be sending out an email with the agenda from the meeting on Monday.

At some point this weekend, I will be uploading instructional videos of all cheers for the girls to watch as well as posting the words for each cheer.

Wednesday is Crazy Hair Day!!  I can't wait to see everyone's hair.  As one of our ladies, Baylee said at practice on Monday, "So basically what our hair looks like when we don't brush it."  LOL exactly!!

And so it begins...

Welcome to the 2014 season!!!

My name is Mariestelle Magliano and I will be the Tiny Mite head coach for this year.  Kelly Parks, and Nicole Petralia will be returning as my assistant coaches.  I am also very happy to announce a new addition to our coaching staff this year, Stephanie Jacobson!



It was great seeing some old friends and meeting some new ones on Friday, August 1, 2014.  I can't wait to meet the rest of our team, this coming week!! 


I am very excited to be back for my 7th year with GBC, and my 2nd year as a Tiny Mite coach.  I will be continuing some of my famous coaching techniques, used last year, and look forward to testing out some new ideas with the girls as well!

This blog is a continuation of last years' and serves as a place where I can post information to everyone and provide resources for all of you to utilize with your little cheerleaders.  Please feel free to browse through last year's entries as there are some videos of the girls as well as instructional videos for our girls to watch and learn different sideline cheers.  As we go over new cheers, I will post them along with an instructional video if available.

 
Practice for August will be every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 6-7:30pm each day.  Friday's practice ended early as it was the first day, but almost every practice will start and end exactly on time. 


If you ever have any questions about anything GBC related, please contact our team mom, Jeanine Calandruccio.  She will serve as a liaison for our team parents.   


Please register your email to this blog to receive updates, as I will be posting as frequently as I can.


See everyone Monday from 6-7:30pm at Warnesdorfer!!  

Go GBC!!
