3 WELCOME TO THE 2017 TOMBALL LIBERTY BELLES & BELLE CHIMES! Thank you for being a part of the Tomball Liberty Belles organization! Drill Team and Cheerleading provide a variety of opportunities for our children. We are very excited about working with you and your child this season. They will have a lot of fun, develop lasting friendships, enjoy the expression and creativity of dance and cheerleading, experience the excitement of competition, and learn responsibility and discipline. With the latter of these accomplishments being the least favorite with our children, it is important to ensure an organized and successful season. Team spirit, positivity and accountability are also very important to our organization. Our goal is to teach these values to our children. On a personal note, I have been involved with the Liberty Belles organization since Like many of you, I started just doing my volunteer hours, but wanted to become more involved. I began as a Team Mom Coordinator, and now Director. I have had an amazing time getting to know many of you and your children these last few years and look forward to getting to know all of you

4 that are new this year. If you need anything, I am available and want to ensure that we all have a successful 2017 season! I m dedicated to making this our best year yet and to help teach our children that cheer and dance are about having fun, making lasting friendships and cheering our Patriots to victory! Another priority of mine is to keep you informed so please watch for our s. Our organization is one of the BIGGEST and the BEST within AAYFDT and we must all work together to keep it that way. I have a wonderful group of volunteers; some of them have been with us for many years and others are new and exciting additions to our team. Our success depends on us all! We rely on parent participation, sponsors and everyone s overall support. Let s come together and make the 2017 Liberty Belle season great! TOGETHER EVERYONE ACHIEVES MORE!!! Best Regards Liz Fisher

28 2017 TOMBALL LIBERTY BELLES RULES AND REGULATIONS It is the goal of the Liberty Belles Director, and all volunteers to give the girls a positive and fun environment. We are dedicated to teaching the meaning of the word "team" and the importance of good sportsmanship. We enjoy our volunteer work and our reward is realized as we watch the girls grow and build character so they can become a positive influence in our community. We have positive incentives built in our program to reward the team accordingly. We want to encourage lady-like behavior and full cooperation of each participant. We will use guidelines outlined in this handbook to teach the girls responsibility and the advantage of being courteous and using good manners. Cooperation and respect for all volunteers is a must. If disciplinary action is necessary it will be discussed with the Director and/or Coach and handled fairly and consistently on a case-by-case basis. If inappropriate behavior continues or worsens the AAYFDT Board will be notified and the ultimate action will be in their discretion, including dismissal from the team. I have read the handbook and understand the rules to follow. Parent Signature Liberty Belle Signature Date:
