3 First Sport Priority For game-time participants: please initial here in understanding that cheer is your first sport priority and activity at Oakmont High School. Those that choose to participate in other sports/clubs/activities understand that those are all the second priority. Your second priority sports/clubs/activities will be participated in if not interfering with your first priority. An example would be: taking part in a track team. When you are on cheer and track, you must go to a cheer practice/activity/event in place of the track practice/activity/event if scheduled at the same time. As a reminder, your second priorities should be communicated with both your coach and advisor. (Please see Oakmont High School policy of first priority sports for further information.) For non-game-time cheer participants: I understand that if I have already signed with other teams as that being my first sport priority (football over fall, baseball over spring, other sports communicated with advisor) that cheer is held as my second sport priority. If I am not currently at my first sport priority I am expected to be at cheer practice. The only times cheer will become my first sport priority is for competitions, and I will communicate with my first sport priority that that is the case. The strike policy is applied to me when I am not at my first sport priority. I will be on time and I will be dedicated to the program. Please write below any sports/clubs/activities you are considering partaking in over the course of your time in the Oakmont Cheer program. Please write below if you are considering partaking in any class courses that may interfere with your time in the Oakmont Cheer program (ex. ROP, Dance, Health Academy, Drama). ***must be turned in April 26, 2018 before 6pm to be eligible to try out*** 3
