Missed Practices & Games (Rules & Regulations)

Missed Practices & Games

Rules & Regulations

 

 

Missed Practices:

If a cheerleader is going to have to miss a practice for any reason it will be required that she turn in a “practice excusal sheet”.  Each cheerleader will only be allowed 3 missed summer practices and 4 missed practices during the school year (1 per quarter).

Practices include:

cheer class, early morning practices, after school practices, team fundraisers, and any other organized team meeting or practice.

 

Missed Games:

If a cheerleader is going to have to miss a game for any reason it will be required that she turn in a “game excusal sheet”.  Each cheerleader will only be allowed 4 missed games

(2 football / 2 basketball).  If a cheerleader is going to have to miss a girls game or wrestling match for any reason it is required that she find a replacement cheerleader to go in her spot.

Games include:

Football, Basketball, Girls Basketball, Wrestling, or any other organized event we are required to cheer at.

 

In most cases cheerleaders will be required to hand any excusal sheets to Coach Megan at least one week before she is planning on missing.  If for some reason a cheerleader is unable to hand the excusal sheet in before the absence (she became sick, slept through an alarm, etc.) she will be required to have it handed in within one week of the missed practice or game.

 

If a cheerleader fails to get her excusal sheet handed in within one week of her absence, it will automatically count as two absences instead of one.

 

If a cheerleader goes over the allotted amount of absences, she will either be put on probation or dismissed from the squad. 

 

During probation, a cheerleader will still be required to attend all cheerleading practices and games, but will not be allowed to cheer or perform at any games or events within her time of probation.  

 

At the end of each season or quarter, for every unused excusal sheet, that cheerleader will be given 10 extra credit points which will go towards her grade. 

-       No missed summer practices = 30 extra credit points to start the school year

-       No missed practices or classes = 10 extra credit points per quarter (40)

-       No missed games = 20 extra credit points per season (40) 

CHEER INFORMATION

Orem Cheer Information (2008-2009)

 

UNIFORM FITTINGS:

Uniform Fittings are Tuesday April 29^th at 2:30pm.  This is mandatory for each girl to be at. Parents are recommended to be there but not required. Our very first practice will be held directly after uniform fittings at which cheerleaders will be assigned stunt groups and learn the basics of stunting in order to prepare for the safety stunt clinic.

 

SAFETY STUNT CLINIC:

There will be a safety stunt clinic Tuesday May 6^th from 4:00pm-6:00pm. 

We will be meeting at Mountain View High School at 3:45pm.  Please be dressed and ready to go (Orem colors).  Rides please pick girls up at Mountain View @ 6:00pm.

 

SUMMER PRACTICES:

Summer practices start June 3^rd from 7:00am-10:00am (Monday-Friday). 

These practices are mandatory and will go all the way up until cheer camp July 7-10.  After cheer camp there will be no summer practices the rest of the month of July and the first week of August.  Summer practices will start up again August 11^th until school begins August 18^th

*Parents please plan summer vacations on weeks that there is no cheer practice. Thanks!

BIG SISTER / LITTLE SISTER:

Each new cheerleader (little sister) will be assigned a returning cheerleader (big sister) to teach them cheers, dances, routine, etc. during the month of May. Sisters are responsible for finding times to meet outside of school and cheer. Each cheer, dance, routine, etc. will need to be learned and passed off by both sisters before games begin in order for either of them to cheer at the games. There will be time set aside for pass offs before each season (football, basketball, and wrestling). A CD of all the cheers will be available for $2.00

This year each girl will have the choice as to which squad you are trying out for

(JV, Varsity, or Either).  You will only be considered for the squad you mark.

-      Varsity is required to cheer at all Varsity football and basketball games, along with some wrestling matches and some girls Varsity basketball games.  

 

FUNDRAISERS:

There is no reason why you should not be able to pay off your entire cheerleading year through fundraising alone.  We will provide you with several opportunities to fundraise throughout the year. Some fundraisers will go towards the entire squad finances (camp, competitions, parties, etc.) while others will go towards individual payments (uniforms, etc.).
