Go Digital

Keep copies of important forms on Google Drive or a similar platform. Storing information online allows you to access the documents on your phone! This can cut down on how much stuff you have to put into your binder. I don’t know about you, but my cheer coach backpack gets so full so fast, so I save room in my cheer coach binder by keeping a lot files in my Google Drive!
