All Star Cheerleading Overview All Star cheerleading has evolved into one of the most exciting, fast paced and strenuous sports scored by a panel of judges. Our sport is broken down into competitive levels by age and ability level. The United States All Star Federation (USASF) is the main governing presence in our industry, and Spirit Xtreme forms our teams based upon the age and ability levels specified by them. The talent level and expectations of these athletes increase with each year. Our mission is to positively impact the lives of cheerleaders at all ages and ability levels. Our focus when forming teams for the 2018-2019 season will be to place highly competitive teams on the mat where the hard work of the athletes is rewarded throughout the season. The USASF Age Groups are as follows: Tiny 5-6 years old as of August 31st, 2018 Mini 5-8 years old as of August 31st, 2018 Youth 5-11 years old as of August 31st, 2018 Junior 8-14 years old as of August 31st, 2018 Senior 11-18 years old as of August 31st, 2018 Our competitive All Star program offers teams for athletes 5 to 18 years old of all ability levels from the beginner to the elite. In addition to our All Stars teams, we offer All Star Prep teams that have no tumbling requirements and require less time and financial commitment. At Spirit Xtreme, evaluations are fun and relaxed. We will have a spot on an All Star or All Star Prep team for ALL athletes. All Star cheerleading is scored based on the execution of tumbling, jumping, dancing, motion technique, tosses, stunting, performance and choreography. ALL are important in putting together a successful team. Athletes will be placed on teams based upon their age and ability levels in ALL of the above mentioned categories. Spirit Xtreme Tiny and Mini teams are limited travel teams. Limited travel teams will compete at competitions within driving distance which may require overnight lodging and are NOT eligible for The Summit. 2018-2019 Specific Skill Expectations Jumps: Athletes at all levels should have correct arm placement, pointed toes, and the ability to land with their feet together. Level 3 athletes should have at least a level toe touch. Level 4 and 5 athletes should have superior jump height, technique and extension. More specific jump details are provided on the following page. Athletes with jumps below our expectations may be required to take an additional jump class. Overall Placement: If an athlete demonstrates an exceptional strength in another area besides tumbling, like jumps, dancing, basing, back spotting or flying, they may be placed on a squad that is higher than their individual tumbling skills. On the reverse side, simply having the necessary tumbling skills does not mean that an athlete will automatically make that level. We are looking for well rounded athletes with strong work ethic. If an athlete demonstrates a weakness in a specific skill area, demonstrates low work ethic, or has a history of missing classes or practices, they may be placed on a team lower than their tumbling skill level. Simply The Best.We Know You ll Agree!

Evaluation Information The first and most important aspect of evaluations at Spirit Xtreme is that the atmosphere be relaxed and comfortable. We want each athlete to be excited and let us help them reach their potential. Our parent viewing area will be CLOSED during our Evaluation clinics.

Team Expectations ATTENDANCE POLICY All Star Competitive Cheerleading is a select sport. It takes a full commitment from both the athlete and the family. Both parents and the athlete must be aware of the attendance requirements. The ability of all athletes to attend all practices maximizes the team s ability to reach its full potential. Cheerleading is more of a team sport than any other sport. We have no back ups or second string athletes. When one athlete misses a practice, it affects three to four other athletes who cannot stunt and affects the entire team who cannot fully execute the pyramid. Plus, the absent athlete hurts the formations and tumbling sequences. It is very important for athletes to be fully committed to their teams. All Practices are mandatory. We do understand that throughout the entire year, there will be graded school events, school cheer commitments, and major family events such as weddings. With the exception of a death in the family or an athlete s summer vacation days (as listed below), any athlete who misses a practice for ANY reason will receive a skill work assignment by their coach to complete at the conclusion of practice. Athletes must notify coaches of the absence in writing with at least 7 days notice. Absences should be emailed to absence@spirit-xtreme.com. If an athlete no shows a practice, they will incur a $100 fine. This includes absences during the summer that were not included on the athlete s vacation days. Please understand that multiple absences will affect the athlete s role in the routine through lost spots in formations and/or changed stunting roles. Recurring absences will result in an athlete being moved to a different team within our program or removed from the Spirit Xtreme program all together due to lack of commitment. If an athlete is sick, they attend practice. Athletes who are sick will not be required to participate; however, they must be present at practice. Athletes who are vomiting, running fever, or considered contagious the day of practice should call the gym office to seek guidance. During the ONE week prior to Show-offs, local and regional competitions, and the TWO weeks prior to National competitions there are NO absences allowed. Missing a practice during these weeks will automatically incur a $100 fine regardless of the reason and may result in the removal of the athlete from the team for the upcoming competition. Fines will be run on the card on file. Choreography: Choreography dates are very important and require mandatory attendance. Please make your plans now and notify your school coaches, work, family, etc. If you already have a scheduled conflict during these dates, please make sure you include them on the Event/Conflict Form and turn in with your registration forms. Competitions: THERE ARE NO EXCUSED ABSENCES FROM A COMPETITION. Every athlete is expected to attend every competition. If an athlete is ill on the day of a competition, they will be expected to show up and do their best to compete. In the case of severe illness, the parents will be expected to stay in frequent communication with the coaches. If an athlete NO SHOWS a competition the athlete will be dismissed from the program immediately and will be charged the total entry fee for the team/athletes that were affected by the athlete not showing. Vacations and Summer: We try to balance the importance of family time and the needs of the team. We will allow a maximum of three weeks for summer vacations between June 4th through August 17th. Advanced notice in writing will be required by June 1st. We ask that you try to schedule your vacations to minimize the amount of practice time missed, and when possible, take advantage of the All Star summer break from July 2nd-8th and August 6th-13th. A Summer Athlete Fill In requirement will be explained at the initial parent meetings. All athletes must be available to return to practice after Christmas break on Sunday, January 6th.

Team Expectations Practices: June 4th - August 17th: During the summer, we follow a revised practice schedule, so that all of our athletes will have the weekends to spend with their families. Teams will have their normal scheduled weekly evening practice and their weekend practice will be moved to one day during the week between the hours of 12:00-4:00p.m. August 27th-April 2019: Teams will practice once during the week and on the weekend. We will practice for 1 1/2 hours during the week and 2-3 hours on a Sunday between 1:00-8:30p.m. Practices will be held Monday-Sunday. If there is a reason that you cannot practice on a particular day, please note that on your Event Conflict Form. Most teams will increase to 3 practices a week during Nationals season (January/February/March). All team athletes are expected to attend every practice. Practices may also be adjusted for extenuating circumstances such as football playoffs. We provide these possible extra practice dates months in advance. Practice Wear: Each team athlete is expected to wear the correct practice outfit including matching bow to each practice. Shoes must be worn to every practice, hair must be pulled back in tight high ponytails, no jewelry of any kind. Athletes may condition for not wearing the complete or correct practice outfit. Required Tumbling: All athletes are required to take team tumbling. Team tumbling is included in monthly tuition and is an hour dedicated by all of our coaches to the tumbling progression of our athletes. If athletes are not available during the scheduled team tumbling times, they must register for a tumbling class or a standing private lesson. Team athletes receive a 50% discount off of monthly class rates for additional tumbling classes. Flyers: All flyers are required to take a Stretch/Flex/Fly Class for $40 per month. Regardless of age or level, great flexibility, beautiful body positions, sharp motions, and incredible performance are a necessity as a flyer. We will be incorporating some additional strength and flexibility elements into our Flyer class for a more disciplined and detailed Flyer class experience. Maintain Skills: Athletes are expected to maintain the skills they threw at tryouts throughout the season and may be made an alternate or moved to another team if they lose those skills. Once made an alternate, athletes are not guaranteed their spot back due to choreography changes, etc. Athletes must also be successful at stunting their assigned role to remain on the mat.

Team Expectations Parent Viewing Area: Parents will be asked to follow a drop off policy during weekend practices. This allows for greater focus by our athletes during their team practice time and also allows our parents to celebrate the growth of the team from week to week. If the viewing area becomes a negative environment at any time in the year, the viewing area will be closed. We want our athletes, families and coaches to feel safe coming to the gym. Spirit Xtreme is a home made for builders. We build each other up and not tear each other down. There will be no negativity allowed and those involved will be dismissed from the program. Competitions: We expect to attend 6-7 competitions for the 2018 2019 season. Please check the dates carefully and remember to be flexible with your schedules. We may elect to add events that are not listed here as many competitions dates are still TBD by competition companies. All competitions are mandatory. We will only consider excusing an absence for a major event if we are notified PRIOR to evaluations. We will finalize our competition schedule in late July/early August.

Financial guidelines All athletes must have their 2017-2018 Spirit Xtreme account paid in full to be eligible for 2018-2019 season. If you are placed on a team and choose not to take the spot, no part of your deposit/commitment fee will be returned. Refusing a spot on a team prevents someone else from making that team and can leave the team without the proper number of bases, flyers, etc. If there is a major reason why you would not be able to cheer on a particular team or if there are particular days/times that you cannot practice, please attach a note to your athlete information sheet, so that we will not consider you for that team. All athletes are required to pay an annual gym registration during the year. This fee is paid when turning in your tryout evaluation form and annually in January of each year. The fee is $35 and includes a Spirit Xtreme T-shirt. Current team or class athletes do not pay an additional fee until January 2019. Spirit Xtreme s program is a 12 month commitment. Tuition charges begin in May 2018 and continue through April 2019. By agreeing to take a spot on a team, you are agreeing to a twelve month financial commitment and will owe tuition all twelve months. If anyone breaks this commitment prior to receiving any part of their uniform, warm up, or practice clothes, the items become the property of Spirit Xtreme. If an athlete is unable to finish the year due to injury with doctor s note or family relocation, Spirit Xtreme will balance your account determining the fees and tuition that have been spent. You will receive a credit for any fees or tuition that have been paid to Spirit Xtreme, but not used. Please be aware that if you choose the monthly installment plan, you may owe additional fees that were not yet covered through your prorated monthly fees. Competition entry fees cannot be refunded for any reason (including injury) once they have been paid out. Resignations must be in writing. Payment Policy: All tuition and fees will be electronically processed. Spirit Xtreme will be using ACH (Automatic Draft) for monthly tuition payments. Tuition will be drafted on the 1st of the month. Any changes to your ACH account including amounts, adds, drops, account numbers, card expirations, etc. must be submitted in writing using our ACH change form in order to activate your request. All accounts with a balance due by the 10th of the month will automatically be charged a $20 late fee. NOTE: If an athlete s account falls past due by more than 30 days with no communication, the athlete will be present but must sit out of all practices. When an account falls 60 days past due with no communication, the athlete will be choreographed out of the competition routine.

Financial obligations We understand the financial commitment made by families for the athlete.

Beyond The Blue Mat Spirit Xtreme s goal is to touch hearts and build athletes of character. Separate from physical training and competition preparation, our athletes participate in team building, celebratory and philanthropic events throughout the year. These events or part of these events are put on by Beyond The Blue Mat. These events/gifts typically include but are not limited to such things as: The Xtreme Experience Team Nationals T-Shirts Competition Gifts Community Service Events End of year banquet In addition, Beyond The Mat will organize opportunities for our athletes to participate in community service and philanthropic projects. These events and gifts are managed and paid for through a budget and bank account which is maintained by a volunteer treasurer and is separate from the gym s finances. Spirit Xtreme collects these fees and transfers to BTBM. Athletes will not be asked to pay additional fees or to participate in fundraising for Beyond The Blue Mat events throughout the year. Beyond the Blue Mat events are organized and run by the BTBM Steering Committee made up of a chairman, a treasurer, a secretary, event chairmen, and team moms. Any Spirit Xtreme parent or guardian is welcome (but not required) to participate on one of the event committees.
