Goals for our Cheerleaders

Our Goals are:– Safety– Fun– Progression– Teamwork

Our coaches are volunteers Positive & respectful communication is the

key to providing the best possible experience for all of us!

COMMITMENT

• With great anticipation, this year our Jr. Pee-Wee & Pee-Wee squads will take the National Route.

• Our competition days are full days!

• In order to be a success, it is imperative that the parents get involved to assist with planning & fundraising. Further details once we reach that point.

• If anyone backs out if we make the Competition route, there will be a 1 year suspension from cheer.

Practice & AttendancePolicies

• Practice starts the first week of August. The start date, days & times are determined by your Coach.

• Coaches will not schedule practices on Friday’s so you may plan long weekends with your family.

• Coaches will review dress policy as well as what is allowed on the field with their teams.

• Practices after Labor Day will decrease by a day. • Attendance is as follows: 5 unexcused absences are

permitted before removal from a team. 3 lateness’s of more than 10 minutes each, equals one absence – excused absences are ONLY religious education class & prolonged illness with a doctor’s note.

Cheerleading Communications

1) Speak to your head coach after practice or arrange a time to get together
