PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT BEING SCHEDULED IS PERTINENT IN HAVING A SUCCESSFUL SEASON IN ANY SPORT. HERE AT OPRF WE BELIEVE THAT HARNESSING EACH PRACTICE WITH A SPECIFIC FOCUS WILL PUSH US TO NOT ONLY GAIN BUT PERFECT NEW AND MORE ADVANCED SKILLS EACH WEEK. WITH HEAVY ATTENTION TO DETAIL WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT EACH NEW SKILL IS MASTERED BEFORE MOVING TO THE NEXT. SOMETHING THAT COULD TRUTHFULLY DESTROY A SEASON IS INJURY. AS COACHES WE WORK OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE OUR TEAM IS TRAINED WELL ENOUGH TO PREVENT ANY INJURIES BUT IN SUCH A ROUGH AND TUMBLE (LITERALLY) SPORT THEY ARE BOUND TO HAPPEN HERE AND THERE. WE INSIST THAT OUR CHEERLEADERS WORK OUT REGULARLY, ICE WHEN NEEDED, AND NOTIFY A COACH OF ANY AND ALL INJURIES TO MAKE SURE THAT WE REMAIN WELL AND HEALTHY DURING THE WHOLE DURATION OF OUR 11 MONTH SEASON. |
