If you miss your practice time, Redline Cheer & Dance cannot guarantee another opportunity to practice in the designated area. You (coach or program director, not full team) will be required to check-in with the Redline official in charge of the practice area 1 hour before your scheduled practice time. This helps the practice room stay in order and on time and allows the program to adjust for time as well. Only team members and coaches may enter the practice area. Family members and spectators will not be admitted to the practice area. Coaches/Directors must have their credentials to enter the practice area. Redline will provide sound systems for teams with music on CD or an mp3 player, and all teams are required to use these systems.
