For cooler weather, mid-turtlenecks and /or a uniform jacket are required. Other cheer accessories such as ear-warmers and gloves will be determined by the Coach.
3. Each cheerleader should wear her hair up and off her face, so it does not bother her during practices and games. She is required to wear a ribbon in her hair.
