Does Anyone Have To Wear Practice Bows?

[Melissa Pichler]

We do, unless you want to run.

We don't HAVE to wear them at my cheer gym, but they'd like us to. We don't have certain ones, most girls just make their own or go to a cheer store near by and get them.

you have a cheer store?

 

[AllstarObsession]

You're a cheerleader. Look like one. Cheerleaders wear bows.

ETA: Also, I dislike when girls come to practice as a mess. Look presentable, please.

YES. it makes me feel like girls arent taking it seriously when they show up to practice looking like they just rolled out of bed.

 

[FierceandFearless]

We're required to wear a practice bow to each practice.

They have plain white big bows that they are supposed to wear to practice, but its not strictly enforced.

 

[peytonnmariee]

no, but most girlss do wear bows, i buy my own to match my practice outfit. but we can buy bows that match one out of 3 or 4 of your practice outfits that have "Vizion Allstars" on them and say our name, but its optional to buy it or not.

At our gym we have two different practice bows one for each night does anyone else have to do that?

Yes we have a bow that matchs each of our 3 of our practice outfits and u have to have one in for every practice

No we dont for our gym yet. I would like to hear some coaches opinions on what this brings though? Just seeig if it is worth starting this.

At our gym, it is a rule that kids must have on Intensity (our gym) clothes, and the girls must have a bow in. They do get practice clothes and a practice bow at the beginning of the season, but they don't have to wear anything specific. In my opinion, this is for several reasons:
1) The parents buy them.. The kids might as well wear them.
2) It is easier (for me, at least) to picture the routine, if everyone is somewhat matching (this applies to clothes more so than bows specifically)
3) With the size of bows nowadays, they need to be used to doing their skills with them in their head.
4) I think it helps with overall presentation and morale. Someone else said it, but they need to look the part. Don't come to practice looking sloppy. If the girls are put together, and they all have their gym gear on, they have a more unified look and feel. More team pride.

My gym do not have set practise bows. However we are advised to wear any bow as long as they are team colours. It looks better on film and for vistors
