Attendance
Athletes are expected to attend and be on time to every practice. Please notify staff of planned vacations prior to our season starting. We understand that emergencies arise and children will fall ill. However, once your athlete reaches 2 unexcused absences we may need to reevaluate their roles in the routine and/or placement on the team to ensure that the team is ready for competitions and that everyone is getting a full experience at the expected value.
Excused Absences:
- Contagious Illnesses
- Family Emergency
- School activities that will effect grades
Unexcused Absences:
- Traffic/No Ride
- Too tired/sore
- School activities/Sports
Athlete Expectations
Athletes will give their best effort at all times. Athletes will not swear or use abusive language at any time. Athletes will not belittle or laugh at others because of experience, inability or mistakes. Athletes are required to practice in cheer or gym shoes. Athletes will use self-discipline and work to respect each other's feelings. Athletes will work together as a team to promote sportsmanship. Athletes will respect each other and their coaches at all times. If behavior issues arise, parents will be notified immediately. If behaviors are consistent and are disruptive to the team, the athlete will be removed from the program.
We are a "No Drama" organization. We pride ourselves on operating in a healthy family dynamic. All conflicts/issues should be reported immediately to the director or coaches and will be handled accordingly.
