4 Member Rules & Expectations Parental Obligations, Rules & Regulations Parents understand that their athlete may have consequences and/or be dismissed from KX Athletics as a result of negative parent behaviors. Parents commit to having their athlete on time to all events and competitions. Parents agree to the attendance requirements set forth within this Official Parent Guide to Success at KX Athletics. Parents are to fulfill all financial obligations on time. Parents are to be supportive of KX and help their athlete be the best they can be through communications with coaches/directors. If a parent is unable to stay for an entire competitive event, arrangements must be made for their athlete to stay with his/her team. Do not challenge or behave negatively toward a coach s decision regarding uniform choice, event chosen, routine or practice. This will result in a consequence for your athlete. Parents may never call a competition company regarding travel, photos or events. Parents are asked to maintain manners and civility at all functions. Questioning competition employees or getting in heated discussions at an event will be cause for probation or dismissal for the respective athlete. Posting on any social media, directly or indirectly implying KX in a negative manner will result in immediate dismissal from the program. Discussing any dissatisfactions regarding KX Athletics with other KX clientele is not tolerated in any setting, ie. Lobby, parking lot, competition venue, social media (social media - direct discussion or implied) etc. KX Athletics has an open door policy for families to approach any director or coach in a respectful manner with concerns to find a successful resolution. Competition Travel (travel teams only) Parents will be required to arrange travel accommodations within the team block at the hotel(s) determined by KX for all required overnight competitions There must be a parent chaperone in each room, no exceptions. Parent chaperones are responsible for the athletes and all additional family members in their room throughout the duration of the trip. Families are to travel within the dates set forth by KX Athletics staff. In the event a family books travel before/after these designated times/dates it is at the discretion of the director/coach to allow the athlete to compete at the event requiring the travel. Athletes & Parents are to display examples of good sportsmanship at all times while representing KX Athletics. This includes behavior towards KX families, staff, opposing competition, venue staff, spectators etc. Parents: No foul language, public intoxication or exposing children to any actions related to the consumption of alcohol.

5 Attendance Attendance Athletes are expected to attend and arrive punctually to all team functions, practices & competitions. Athletes may play other sports, however, if a conflict with an outside sport or job arises, athletes and parents must make it a priority to arrange for the athlete to attend KX practices, events, etc. Absences may be requested by submitting a Vacation Request form in advance. Vacation forms can be found under FORMS in the Member s Area of It is at the discretion of the coach or director s approval to honor the request based on team needs. Unexcused absence Fee: If an athlete does not attend practice and A.) Provides notice and does not receive approval for the absence by a coach or director in advance or; B.) Does not provide notice in advance or; C.) Exceeds the Injury/Illness time frame for a doctor s note (see details below) A fee of $25 will be charged to the member account per practice missed. Multiple unexcused absences may result in dismissal from the program. School Spring Breaks will not be honored as we have too many school schedules to contend with. We ask families to plan their vacation schedules around the competitive season (Nov-May) and the gym closing dates unless a date has solidly been cleared by a director. Summer attendance is VERY important to the development of the team and tumbling progression. Please note that we expect team members to be at the majority of the summer practices however we understand this is prime vacation time. Athletes understand that if they miss practice prior to a competition, it will be at coach/director discretion to replace the athlete for the event. Competitions are Mandatory Members are required to attend all competitions through the designated time set forth by KX Athletics in the provided logistics. If a parent is unable to stay for the whole competition, other arrangements must be made so that the member can stay through the dismissal time for their team. Missing competitions may result in dismissal. Competition schedules are subject to change. KX will provide as much notice as possible, however it is possible that changes are made with little notice. Injuries/Illness If an athlete sustains any injury in the gym, the athlete must report all injury at the time it occurs Athletes are expected to attend all practices when injured (unless approved by a coach) in order to watch in the event changes are made to the routine and/or to participate in an approved limited capacity. If Athletes are requesting to be fully excused from practice due to injury or illness: INJURY: A doctor s note or confirmed doctor appointment must be provided to the coach on or before the practice following the injury if the athlete is still unable to fully participate at the practice following the injury. ILLNESS: If an athlete is unable to fully participate due to illness for two subsequent practices, a doctor note is required. UNEXCUSED ABSENCE FEE: The unexcused absence fee of $25 applies after the above stated time frames for each practice an athlete is unable to fully participate without the required doctor s note. In the event of injury or extended illness, tuition will not be credited and tuition installment payments must still be paid as they become due in order to continue to secure the athlete s team placement. 5

6 Team Development Phase I -Evaluations Phase II Advanced Assessment of Skills Phase III Team Placement Skills Commitment Requirements Phase I Evaluations All athletes attend an age breakout session to learn a Jump, Motion/Dance sequence. Each athlete has the opportunity to practice skills and will return on the assigned age break out session for an overall evaluation. During this evaluation night, current unassisted tumble skills are also evaluated. Following the Evaluation session, athletes will attend Skills practices to determine positions & team placement. Phase II Skills & Tumble Classes The skills classes assigned for the first 1-2 weeks of June. Stunt skills will be evaluated to help determine level readiness. Tumble skills demonstrated at the initial tryout will be evaluated for consistency. KX is dedicated to successful teams at every level and division and there are no guarantees of placement on a certain level of team at this time. Phase III Team Placement Athletes are placed on their team and begin working towards solid stunt groups that will be utilized in the choreography of the routine. The weekly practice schedules will be solidified at this time for the remainder of the season. There is still potential for team placement movement during this phase based on team need. Most changes will occur before routine choreography begins. Skills Commitment Requirement In the event an athlete is placed on a team based on a skill(s) that were performed during the Team Development Phases and is no longer performing the skill for any reason, the athlete will be required to enroll in additional classes and/or private lessons until the skill(s) is being performed consistently at practices and competition events. These classes and/or private lesson fees will be in addition to the member s All-Star monthly tuition amount. If for any reason, the athlete is unable to commit to the additional classes and/or private lessons to regain the skill(s), the athlete s team placement may be revised (at the coach/director s discretion) to place the athlete on a team that is a more appropriate level to showcase the skills they possess. Team development can be stressful for athletes. The KX Athletics staff is dedicated to doing what is best for a team to ensure a successful season. With our belief of the Parent/Coach relationship that is needed, we ask that parents help their athlete through these phases with the assurance that they will be placed on a strong and successful team that is the best fit to showcase the athlete s skills. Please read below for some helpful information as your athlete enters into the Phases of Team Placement. 6

7 Tumbling Level Insights While tumbling does not solely define a cheerleader, often athletes/families enter into the Team Placement phases with the expectation of which level team they should be placed on based on a certain tumbling skill. The All-Star cheerleading scoring system has evolved over the years and guides the direction that all-star gyms must take in creating teams that will max the scoring system. KX Athletics takes pride in the success of every level team in our gym and encourages athletes to appreciate and contribute to their team with their true level of abilities and not rush through the levels without the skills that fully contribute to each level. Would you rather your child be the bat boy or the star pitcher? KX Athletics believes that offering each athlete a placement to shine is the best way to build confidence & solid skills overall! With that being said, the overall team must be built not only on tumbling but also on the positions required to create strong stunting. For example: An athlete may have skills to tumble at Level 2 or fly at level 3 team placement would be depending on the coaches assessment of which skills would be best utilized for a successful TEAM and which skills should be further developed for the Athlete s individual goals. Tumbling Requirements Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 4 Level R5 Cartwheel, forward roll, back bend,* back bend kick over, back walkover/front walkover, *multiple front/back walkovers, handstand Standing back handspring, *standing back handspring step out round off back handspring, *standing back handspring PAUSE back handspring, back walkover back handspring, round off back handspring, *round off multiple back handsprings, *front walkover round off multiple back handsprings, *round off back handspring step out round off back handspring Standing 2 back handsprings, *standing 3 back handsprings, *standing back handspring toe touch 2 back handsprings, toe touch back handspring, *toe touch multiple back handsprings, *toe touch back handspring step out round off tuck, round off tuck, *front walkover round off tuck, round off back handspring tuck, *front walk over round off back handspring tuck, *round off back handspring step out round off back handspring tuck, *punch front...round off back handspring tuck Standing tuck, *T-jump tuck, *toe touch T-jump tuck, *standing tuck PAUSE standing tuck, toe touch back handspring tuck, *toe touch back handspring tuck 2 back handsprings to tuck, *multiple jumps to back handspring tuck, 2 back handsprings tuck, *1 back handspring tuck, *multiple jumps back handspring tuck, *back handspring tuck, round off back handspring layout, *punch front round off back handspring layout, *round off whip 2 back handsprings layout, *front walkover round off back handspring layout Toe touch back tuck, *multiple jumps to back, round off back handspring full, *front walk over round off back handspring full, *punch front round off back handspring full, 2 back handspring layout Please feel free to visit for further information on All-Star skill requirements. 7

8 P.O. Board The KXA PO Board offers a variety of gym-wide fundraisers throughout the season to benefit the KXA Athletes and Teams. Individual fundraisers are not required but may be done independently. The PO Board distributes the PO Board monies in a manner in which it benefits all athletes throughout the season. For a comprehensive listing of how previous funds have been distributed, as well as to learn more about the KXA PO Board and Fundraising Opportunities, please visit once you are a registered member. Member requirement: INVOLVEMENT! For the KXA season, in lieu of the previously required Activity Fee, each all-star member family is required to participate in AT LEAST ONE P.O. Board activity by either attending, volunteering or donating requested items for events. Junior Coaching Program Athletes who demonstrate genuine passion for their sport, leadership skills and are viewed as exemplary role models at KX may be offered the opportunity to volunteer time and work along side the senior staff as a Junior Coach. These athletes will have the opportunity to learn how to effectively communicate and teach younger athletes and take part in developing overall program bonding. Community Service Opportunities #KXACARES Each year the KX Athletes are encouraged to get involved with the community or even globally to reach out to others in need. Teaching children to reach out to others and see beyond themselves is important. We are not just training cheerleaders; we are training our future leaders 8
