All decisions concerning camp, squad practices and games will be made by the coaches. Trvouts To tryout, contestants must have the following: 1. Three teacher recommendations from core teachers 2. A signed registration form 3. A signed Cheerleader and Parent consent form No contestant will be allowed to tryout if the above requirements are not met.

Rides must be here no later than 5:00 and must wait outside the school. The coaches will not be responsible for your daughter after the clinic or tryout, so please pick her up on time. All practices and tryouts will be closed sessions. This means no one other than the candidates who are trying out, the coaches, and administrators will be allowed to observe. Please comply with this request since violation will jeopardize your daughter's eligibility. Expectations are that the girls will keep parents and themselves informed at all times. If there are questions, they will be answered during practice. Those who make the squad MUST make all payments on time.

3 1 Conduct Cheerleaders are representatives of Siiverdale Baptist Academy at all times and are recognized as school and class leaders. Therefore, each cheerleader is expected to conduct herself in a manner that is above reproach as a representative of SEA and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Failure to comply with these rules will result in suspension or removal from the squad. 1. Cheerleaders and parents must show respect to all coaches and cheerleaders at ALL times. 2. Cheerleaders are not to speak negatively about SEA or any particular individual or policy associated with the school. 3. Cheerleaders are representatives of SEA at ALL times - social media included 1 If a cheerleader has a social media account of any type, she will be held accountable for the postings and actions of said account.

Cheerleaders must attend all practices and assigned athletic events. Cheerleaders are not allowed to miss games during fall break. 5. Cheerleaders are not allowed to participate in other sports at SBA unless the sport does not conflict with the cheer season. 6. Each cheerleader will be allowed three excused absences from practices for the entire season. The coaches must be notified - by the cheerleader, not a friend - before the practice of their absence; otherwise their absence will be unexcused. Excused absences are onlv for illness that is accompanied with a doctor's note (no doctor's note and the absence will not be excused), family emergencies, or an approved school function. School work is not an excuse as you are expected to do this on your own time. If you have a dentist or doctor appointment the day of a game or practice, please call and reschedule. 7. Following the first unexcused absence, cheerleaders will attend the next game in uniform and sit in the stands with the coaches for the first half of the game. Following the second unexcused absence, cheerleaders will attend the next game in uniform and sit in the stands with the coaches for the entire game. Following the third unexcused absence, the cheerleader will be dismissed from the squad. (This rule also applies to any occurrence where a cheerleader misses a game.) 8. Cheerleaders are expected to be punctual to all assigned events and practices. The coach will determine excused and unexcused tardiness. Three unexcused tardies will equal one unexcused absence and the above rule will apply. 9.
