9 GENERAL PARENT POLICIES 1.Help your child learn to enjoy this sport and develop skills that he/she is capable of performing. Practice with and help your child so that he/she will have an opportunity for skill improvement through active participation. 2. Be realistic about the strengths and weaknesses of your child so that you may place him/her in situations where he/she has the maximum opportunity for success. DO NOT LIVE THROUGH YOUR CHILD!!!!!! 3. Treat other parents, coaches, teammates and staff with full respect. 4. Accept the decisions of the coaching staff without showing inappropriate emotions or repercussions. 5. Understand and respect the differences between parental roles and coaching roles. Uphold the authority of coaches and staff who are working with your child. Assist them when possible and use good judgment if you disagree with them. 6. Keep negative comments to yourself. Express concerns only to the coach and in a straightforward, fair, and objective manner. Inform the coaches of issues and conflicts as soon as they arise. 7. Focus on performance which can be controlled by the athlete and not on winning or losing an outcome which is frequently outside the athlete s control. Positively reinforce improved skills. 8. Decrease the pressure to win; avoid making the outcome of the competition bigger than life. Make sure your children know that, win or lose, you will love them even if you are disappointed with their performance. 9. Help your child set realistic goals. Sport s primary value is the opportunity for self-development. The probability of achieving lasting fame and glory is low; however, their experiences allow them to develop life-long values and self-esteem. 10. No profanity or rude language. 11. If you need assistance or answers to anything, please contact us! 12. Do not make assumptions about anything. Always ask. 13. Attitude is everything. If an athlete has a foul attitude, we will place him/ her to a non-competitive program, such as a class, until improvements are made. Until then, a replacement will be put in position. 14. Do not call or text the staff unless it is an emergency. The staff needs to have their personal time away from work. Thank you in advance for respecting this rule. 15. Siblings of athletes cannot come inside the gym and watch practice unattended. An adult in the viewing room must supervise them. We cannot baby-sit. 16. No one is allowed to yell onto the floor or make contact through the viewing room window. 17. Do not post negative comments, routines or music on message boards, You Tube or any website. 18. The only people allowed in the gym are staff members and athletes that are on the Team Rosters. Parents, friends, relatives and siblings must remain in the viewing room. 19. Anyone threatening to quit will be asked to leave immediately. No refund will be given. 20. Your opinion regarding practice and routine construction does not count. The staff makes all of the decisions. 21. Do not gossip about other teams, parents, other gyms or kids. Again, if you have a question, ASK, rather than listen to non-sense or engage in irresponsible conduct. 22. It is the parent s responsibility to stay informed. Check your and website regularly. If you aren t receiving s, contact the Gym Director ASAP. 23. A $25 fine and conditioning will result in an unexcused absence. Absences must be cleared by the Head Coach and signed off by Head Coach.

10 24. Coaches/Directors reserve the right to close practices at any time. This only occurs if the viewing room becomes negative or distracting. 25. Withholding your child from practice cannot be used as a form of discipline. This is unfair to the rest of the team. 26. Practice schedules can change. We will ALWAYS add practices before a competition. Especially 2 weeks prior to. Leave your schedule open before each event! Parent signature Athlete Signature Date Date

11 TEAM/ATHLETE POLICIES Punctuality PRACTICE- While we understand that unforeseen circumstances happen, they don t happen every day. So please, don t be late PERIOD! Athlete s are given a 5 minute grace period before they are considered tardy however, if we notice a pattern that they are always walking in the door 1 minute before that grace period is up we will remove this curtesy. The 5 minute grace period is ONLY FOR WEEK-DAY practices as we understand that work, traffic and other factors can come into play however there is ZERO excuse for a tardiness during a weekend practice. Athlete s who are later than 5 minutes will cost their team a 2 mile penalty. COMPETITION- You will be provided a meet time prior to each event which is usually 90 minutes prior to warm up time. Failure to be on time will result in possible suspension from the next event. A repeated offense will result in immediate removal from the program. A 5-10 minute grace period to allow for unexpected circumstances will be allotted. Anything above that will be considered disrespectfully tardy. Attendance Attendance is crucial to team success. All absences must be approved by the Team s contact coach. An Absence Request Form must be submitted 2 weeks prior to the absence. DO NOT or fax absence request forms. A completed form does not automatically excuse the absence. Absences must be approved. We will verify with school administration and the teaching staff if we think that someone is being dishonest. Be prepared to show documentation from a teacher or instructor. For school related absences. Your child will be removed from the team immediately if the request is falsified. Absences are not permitted the week of competition. A no-call/no show to a practice will result in a $25 fine. Students are allowed up to 4 absences for family vacations during the months of May-August. These absences may be in conjunction with any additional gym closure dates. Those dates can be found in the Gym Closure section of this packet. Please plan accordingly. Additional absences will jeopardize an athlete s placement on their respective teams. After school is back in August, the only excused absence is a school function that results in a grade. All other absences are unexcused. Part-time jobs, dances, concerts, banquets, long distance driving, family reunions, weddings, recitals, school/church socials, and any other nonrelated school activities are unexcused. Athletes are allowed ONE unexcused absence per season. An unexcused absence may result in the athlete being moved to an alternate position or pulled from an upcoming performance at the discretion of the staff. Athletes who exceed 1 unexcused absences will be immediately removed from the program without a refund. It is the responsibility of the athlete to learn any changes prior to practices. PRACTICES MISSED 2 WEEKS PRIOR TO A COMPETITION WILL RESULT IN IMMEDIATE TERMINATION FROM THE TEAM!

12 Sick/Injury Policy/Crossovers Athletes must attend practice when they are sick (UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN DIAGNOSED CONTAGIOUS BY A DOCTOR). Students are often removed from our program for failing to follow this rule. We will not make exceptions. they may not be required to participate; however, they must be present. An athlete will jeopardize their position if this rule is not followed. Extended sickness such as Mono or Strep throat will jeopardize an athlete s position on the team. In the event that a student is injured at home or during other extracurricular activities, we ask that you please notify us as soon as possible. Please do not leave messages of this nature on our message service. You should call the gym and the team representative to get the necessary information to the coach-es. We will make changes with choreography prior to practicing. We will re-choreograph routines based on the person s injury and length of recovery. Once the individual has fully recovered, he or she may or may NOT be choreographed back into the routine. The coaches have complete discretion in replacing such individuals for the rest of the season. All injured athletes must continue to pay their monthly tuition.
