Meet our New Cheer VP Lori Sozio is thrilled to begin

her new position with the

WJW-WJT organization.

Lori’s cheerleading journey

began many years ago, with

cheering for youth football

teams, high school teams, col-

lege teams, and a season of

semi-pro. She began her

coaching career at Hilton High

School, where she coached

many wonderful cheerleaders

for five seasons. She is ec-

static to begin working with

the wonderful cheer coaches

and the many smiling, enthusi-

astic cheerleaders, in early

August. She has clinics

planned for our coaches, so

that they can begin to imple-

ment a program that the girls

will remember for years to

come. The number one goal

of the season…HAVE FUN!

Cheer Starts Here! The WJW-WJT Cheer Lead-ership Team has been work-ing diligently, during the off-season, to redefine the or-ganization’s cheer philoso-phy. This season, we will be integrating adult coaches to assist with supervision and responsibility of the cheer-leaders, while the high school coaches will spend their time working on creativity of dances and cheers. This new

philosophy will allow the cheerleaders to work on cheers, dances, stunting and tumbling in a structured envi-ronment. Our teams would not be complete without the assistance of our mothers that volunteer to be team manag-ers. We cannot thank all of our volunteers enough; with your continued commitment to our organization, this will be our year for cheer!

We are very excited to an-

nounce that we are going to

be expanding one of our

cheerleading squads. The C

team has close to 50 girls

registered and we will be

having two C cheer competi-

tion squads. We love that

so many of our families enjoy

our program and are sharing

this experience with their

friends.

CHEER CAMPS

How it Works: WJW-WJT is able to avoid

significant increases to registration fees by

asking families to fundraise for a portion of

the fees. Families may opt to ‘buy-out’ of

their fundraising commitment at the time of

registration, while others appreciate the

ability to pay only the registration fee and

commit to selling Delta Sonic tickets to satisfy

the remainder. This is on an individual basis

per player/cheerleader and is different from

other league/team fundraising efforts that

will occur throughout the year.

Tackle Football/Cheer are required to sell a minimum of 15 tickets per participant.

Flag Football/Flag Cheer are required to sell a minimum of 6 tickets per participant.

-OR– You may elect to do the buy-out option

The buy-out option is $85 for Tackle Football/Cheer and $30 for Flag Football/Flag Cheer.

Want to change to the Buyout option? Simply email: Treasurer@WJW-WJT.ORG then pay online via credit card.
