1.      Parent Helpers who are dressed in all white, with an orange SECURITY vest or a red PARENT HELPER vest, are here to assist with our parade unit.  Their job is to help ensure the safety of your child.  Please give them full cooperation.

2.      The secured, “yellow” roped-off holding area at the beginning AND end of the parade is in place to help maintain a secured and controlled environment for our group.  NO ONE, other than our students or designated Parent Helpers, is allowed to enter the secured area.

3.      Once your child is inside the secured, yellow roped-off holding area, please take your car to the end of the parade immediately.  The longer you wait, the less chance that you will find a parking spot at the end.  If you don’t know where the end of the parade is, ask a Parent Helper to give you a parade information sheet, or where you can obtain one.  Once you find a parking spot, go to the parade route and watch the parade.

4.      ONLY designated Parent Helpers are allowed to walk along with our group during a parade.

5.      Once our group gets close to the end of the parade and passes by you, we do want you to follow our group to the disband area but DO NOT WALK ALONG SIDE WITH THE MARCHERS.  Please follow our group outside (behind) the crowd.  NEVER WALK ON THE ROAD!

6.      We will try to find a large safe area to disband the group once we get to the end of the parade.  WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE DURING OUR DISMISSAL PROCEDURE!  THE SAFETY OF OUR STUDENTS IS OUR TOP PRIORITY!

7.      PARENTS, WE ASK THAT YOU PLEASE DO NOT attempt to take your child, during the parade or immediately after marching, until we have students roped-off and are dismissed safely by age.  Security helpers have instructions to keep ALL people away from the children until the proper dismissal (by age) to their parents.

8.      PLEASE BE PATIENT DURING DISMISSAL!  We will dismiss ONE age group at a time starting with the younger children first.  Security helpers will assist with each age group, being sure students leave with the proper parent.  For safety reasons please DO NOT go inside the roped-off area.  When your child’s age group is dismissed, reach under the banner and take her/him by the hand.

9.      Only the proper parent or guardian may take his or her own child.  Never take a friend’s child unless that parent gives written permission to do so and the child is aware of who is picking her/him up.

10.    We recommend that you bring some water or other drink for your child; she/he will be hot & thirsty no matter what the temperature is outside.

11.    You must pick your child up immediately after our group is done marching, NOT when the entire parade is over. PLEASE BE SURE YOU KNOW WHERE THE DISBAND AREA IS LOCATED – RARELY IS IT THE SAME AS THE MEETING PLACE

Young Champions is very excited to announce the dates for our Fall 2008 Pro All Star and Elite Team Stunting Clinic.  This is our REQUIRED annual stunting clinic designed to prepare students for the upcoming season in regards to stunting and safety.  We are officially unified with our affiliates across the country, and every year changes are made to competition and stunting requirements and guidelines.  Our stunting clinic not only reviews these changes but also reinforces stunting safety!

Please Note:  Students who wish to stunt during the Fall 2008 season must attend the stunting clinic prior to performing any stunts at class events.  Even if students have attended a previous stunting clinic they are required to attend every Fall session. 

Our programs are designed to ensure the highest level of safety for our students. Parents, we know that you want the highest level of safety for your student, and that you value the safety precautions we are taking, by implementing this annual stunting clinic for our students. We appreciate your support!
