TIME FOR PRACTICES AND GAMES.
CHEERLEADERS MUST BE AT ALL PRACTICES AND
GAMES UNLESS EXCUSED. IF FOR SOME
REASON YOUR CHILD WILL MISS A PRACTICE OR
GAME, PLEASE INFORM YOUR CHILD'S COACH.
MISSED OR UNEXCUSED PRACTICES CAN RESULT
IN YOUR CHILD NOT CHEERING IN A HALF OR
WHOLE GAME THAT WEEKEND. IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO PROMPTLY PICK UP YOUR CHILD
ON TIME. COACHES ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR
CHILDREN THAT ARE LEFT AFTER PRACTICE OR
GAMES, SO PLEASE BE ON TIME PICKING UP
YOUR CHILD.
2. GIVE THE COACHES ROOM. REMEMBER THEY
PUT IN A LOT OF TIME ON AND OFF THE FIELD.
THEY HAVE FULL TIME JOBS AND ARE
VOLUNTEERING THEIR TIME AND ARE NOT
GETTING PAID. THIS IS VOLUNTEER WORK.
3. DURING PRACTICE CHEERLEADERS SHOULD
BE DRESSED IN COMFORTABLE CLOTHING, I.E.
SHORTS, SWEAT PANTS, ETC. (NO SKIRTS OR
DRESSES). TENNIS/GYM SHOES SHOULD BE
WORN AT ALL TIMES. YOUR CHILD WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO PRACTICE IF THE PROPER ATTIRE IS
NOT WORN.
4. NO FRIENDS/COUSINS ARE ALLOWED AT
PRACTICES, THIS CAN BE VERY DISTRACTING
FOR THE CHEERLEADERS. NO GUM, CANDY, OR
CELL PHONES ARE PERMITTED WHILE
PRACTICING OR AT GAMES.
5. ALL CHEERLEADERS MUST BE IN COMPLETE
UNIFORMS AT GAMES. COMPLETE UNIFORMS
CONSIST OF SHELL, SKIRT, SOCKS, BRIEFS, AND
SHOES THAT ARE SELECTED. IF CHILD IS NOT IN
COMPLETE UNIFORM THEY WILL NOT BE
ALLOWED TO CHEER THAT GAME. NO
EXCEPTIONS. NO LONG OR DANGLING EAR
RINGS OR JEWELRY ARE PERMITTED DURING
GAME TIME. ONLY STUD OR POST EAR RINGS
ARE ACCEPTABLE. THIS WILL PREVENT THE
POSSIBILITY OF INJURY. REMEMBER TO SHOW

LEARN THE FUNDAMENTALS. THIS CANNOT BE
ACHIEVED WITHOUT THE SUPPORT AND
COOPERATION OF THE PARENTS. SO PLEASE
TALK IT OVER WITH YOUR CHILD.

AND WASPS.
