CROSS-COMPETING

• If you would like your daughter to cross-compete (performing on both teams) she would have to try out to be on the advanced team. Please keep in mind your daughter would have to learn two routines, stay for both practices & would have to pay additional competition fees to cross- compete.

REFUNDS

• NO REFUNDS will be given! I recommend you have a serious talk with your daughter about her commitment to the team before signing up.

WHAT DO YOU WEAR TO PRACTICES?

• On choreography days please wear One Dream Cheer practice gear (Black Nfinity shorts, team sports bra & tank top. Hair is to be in a high ponytail with One Dream Cheer Bow with any type of cheer shoes) All other practices please wear comfortable clothing & cheer shoes unless the coach asks you to wear your team practice gear. Otherwise please dress as if you would dress for cheerleading practice. Your hair should be up in a high pony tail away from your face & shoulders at all practices.

APPEARANCE

• Uniforms must be kept neat & clean. Losses of any part of the uniform & practice gear must be replaced by the cheerleader.
• Fingernails must always be kept to a short length No fingernail polish for COMPETITIONS!
• Gum chewing is not permitted while at practice
• NO jewelry is permitted to be worn during practices & performances. This includes earrings, bracelets, rings, necklaces. If worn to a practice, the cheerleader will be instructed to remove such articles.
• One Dream Cheer is not responsible for any items of value that are taken to practice if lost or stolen.

ATTENDANCE REQUIRMENTS

• ABSENCES CAN BE THE DOWNFALL OF A GREAT CHEERLEADING SQUAD! If one or more squad members are absent from a practice, the other members are forced to make last minute changes. This can be both stressful and dangerous to squad members. Every cheerleader is important to the team. Please remember if you child is missing practice the stunt group your daughter is in cannot go up.
• All practices are MANDATORY! Cheerleaders are expected to always be on time.
• You will be expected to be at all practices & competitions.
• If you commit to One Dream Cheer you are committing to every practice. Unexcused absences are those caused by anything other than illness or family emergencies.
• If you are ill or have a family emergency, the coach needs to be notified by a parent or guardian in order for this absence to be excused. Please notify my staff assistant before the absence or as soon as possible; only under extreme circumstances will prior notice not be expected. Please call Jennifer @ (626) 485-5328 to notify the coach of any excused absences. If the assistant is unavailable, please leave a message.
• If your daughter misses 3 consecutive practices a doctor’s note will be required.
• If your daughter is in another sport, please discuss all extenuating circumstances with the coach. If they cannot be worked around practices, then the cheerleader will be required to make a choice.

TARDIES

• Don’t be late.
• If you’re going to be late call one of our staff members so they can let coaches know.

TRANSPORTATION

• If for any reason your daughter does not have a ride to practice. I recommend parents exchange phone numbers if you live near each other. Carpooling would be great for a situation like this. If you absolutely do not have a ride you may contact one the staff member, to arrange a ride for your child. Missing practice due to no ride is not excusable.

Injuries/ Preexisting Conditions

1. Coaches must be made aware of all injuries occurring outside of practice as soon as possible. Please be sure that coaches are aware of any existing medical conditions/allergies that may affect your child’s participation in cheerleading.

2. If an easily treatable injury occurs at practice (i.e. bruises, cuts, contusions) our athletic training staff will treat your child. You will be made aware of this injury as soon as possible.
