Due to the high volume of questions around the transition period for the CHS Cheer program while we search for a new coaching staff, we are issuing this statement to help clear up any questions/confusion.
Timeline for hiring a new coaching staff- The Head Coaching position is currently posted (on www.schoolspring.com Job ID#3102756). It will remain posted through June 9th in order to get the best possible pool of candidates for the position. We will then conduct interviews with an interview committee with the hopes of naming a new head coach before the end of the school year. An assistant coach will be hired after we hire a head coach.
Impact of a June hire- Hiring a head cheer coach this late in the school year has a significant impact on how the summer/fall schedule will look:
- Tryouts- Traditionally Fall Cheer tryouts take place in early June but that is obviously not possible this year. Our plan is to hold off on our tryouts until late summer- which is in line with all of our other Fall programs.
- Summer Camp- Our CHS Cheer coaches will not be organizing any camp activities over the summer. There is simply not enough time for a new staff to safely put camp plans together. Student athletes interested in summer training opportunities are encouraged to seek them out- including any camp options that may be out there. However, our CHS Coaches will not be organizing any of these this summer.
Online Registration for Fall Cheer will open up in early June with all other fall sports. Tryout information will be available as soon as our staff is in place and has time to coordinate that schedule.
If you have any questions regarding any of this transition plan, please don't hesitate to contact the CHS Athletic Office.
