3 *All requirements/expectations set forth in this constitution will apply to all cheerleaders and mascots. Philosophy/Purpose Sweeny Independent School District Cheerleaders are first and foremost representatives of their school and their community. They must exemplify behavior suitable to their position of leadership in accordance with the rules as stated in the SISD Handbook. Being a cheerleader is an honor and a privilege. Cheerleaders exist to promote good sportsmanship, good character, wholesome and enthusiastic school spirit and loyalty. Members of the squad have a fundamental responsibility to play a leadership role in building teamwork and helping the school achieve its goals and objectives. Because of these responsibilities, members of the cheerleading squad will be expected to maintain a higher standard of behavior both on and off campus and academic achievement than that of their peers. The guidelines of the Cheerleader Constitution outline details of behavior, responsibilities, uniform information. This document is designed to inform administration, faculty, students and parents of important details pertaining to the SISD Cheer program. Objectives Cheerleaders are expected to be physically and mentally skilled in learning and remembering cheers. They are also expected to be able to publicly demonstrate a skill level suitable for the team position and the timing necessary for group performance. Off the field, they are to enthusiastically support all athletic teams as well as other district groups through advertisement, personal attitude, and attendance at events chosen by the sponsor. Organizations Varsity Squad: The Varsity Squad will consist of the top scoring 20 sophomores, juniors and seniors or the natural break and the top scoring mascot. Junior Varsity Squad: The Junior Varsity Squad will consist of the remaining top scoring 16 seniors, juniors, sophomores and freshmen or the natural break. Mascot: There will be 1 or 2 mascots for the varsity squad and the position is open to anyone who meets the requirements set forth in the constitution. The Cheerleaders elected will retain their position for the entire year unless dismissed from the position for not fulfilling responsibilities set up in the constitution. Contrary to popular belief, there most certainly is an "I" in "team." It is the same "I" that appears three times in "responsibility." ~Amber Harding

4 Commitment Students who have been selected to be a member of the cheerleading squad are expected to make a commitment to the activity for the full cheerleading year. Any cheerleader who voluntarily quits or is removed from the squad before the end of the cheerleading year will not be eligible to try out for the next year or be eligible to receive an athletic letter.

17 5. Any sponsor/principal review or the severity of a cheerleader s actions may result in dismissal from the squad. 6. Please be aware that it is impossible to write all demerit worthy offenses in the constitution. Sponsors will use their own discretion when a situation arises that they deem demerit worthy. Just because the specific offense is not listed does not mean that a cheerleader will not get demerits. 7. A cheerleader will not be allowed to tryout the following year if they have any outstanding fines, dues or demerits. 8. These are general rules and guidelines for all SHS Cheerleaders. Failure to comply may require a sponsor to make a judgment call. These decisions will be left up to the individual sponsors for each squad. Sponsors reserve the right to upgrade any penalty (immediate benching) depending on the severity of the situation. Cheerleaders may choose to work off demerits through appropriate duties or activities assigned by the sponsor at the sponsor s discretion. The demerits must be worked off before the next event or the cheerleader will be benched until the demerits are worked off. Failure to work them off by the second event may result in suspension. Some examples of ways to work of demerits include, but are not limited to, the following: Extra duties assigned by the sponsor (example painting signs, help carry supplies to field/pep rally, cleaning cheer room ) MUST be completed in the presence of a sponsor: o Running 1 mile is equal to working off 1 demerit o Jumps 40 jumps are equal to working off 1 demerit o Workouts: 50 pushups or 100 crunches are equal to working off 1 demerit This constitution is not a contract. The purpose of this constitution is to serve as a guideline only. The policies and procedures contained within this constitution can be changed at any time to serve the best interest of the Sweeny Cheerleader organization. The guidelines set forth above are designed to ensure equality of all members when related to the tryout process and to disciplinary issues. The sponsor reserves the right to make accommodations on extenuating circumstances when necessary. Being a good cheerleader/mascot requires hours of practice, planning, preparation, pep, enthusiasm, a positive attitude and a winning smile. It is indeed an honor to be chosen as a cheerleader/mascot. As a cheerleader/mascot, you have responsibilities; therefore, you must set your priorities to fulfill these responsibilities. 17
