2014-2015 Winter OJR MS Cheerleading Information
Cheerleaders, you need to attend every practice and game, unless you have an extenuating
circumstance, such as a family emergency, you did not attend school that day, or you have a
doctor’s appointment. If a girl does not email me or come see me that she is missing a
practice or game, she will not be allowed to cheer in the next game.
If more than four practices and two games are missed without Coach’s consent, the
cheerleader will be removed from the squad for the rest of the season. No exceptions.
*Cheerleaders must to be dressed in proper practice attire and ready for practices by
2:30pm.
*Cheerleaders must to be dressed in proper game uniforms and ready for games by
3:10pm. Practice will occur before games from 2:30pm – 3:00pm.
*Cheerleaders must maintain passing grades in school. I have high expectations of my
cheerleaders. Your goal should be for honors each marking period. If you need extra help in
any specific areas, please let Coach know. I will be sure to set you up with a tutor or help
you myself.
*If Cheerleaders are missing practice for tutoring they need a note or email from the
teacher they are receiving help from in order to be excused from practice and not have it
count against them.
*All rules from the student athletic handbook will apply for cheerleading
*Cheerleaders who make the squad will be required to have a white under armour long
sleeve shirt and white cheerleading sneakers. Please wait until the roster is posted to
purchase these two items.
*This is a team sport – everyone should have fun, make friends, and cooperate. Therefore,
bullying or harassing on the team will NOT be tolerated. If there are any issues, coach will
contact home and a possible suspension/expulsion from the team can result as a
consequence.
Both the cheerleader and their parent(s) MUST sign the letter that is attached to this
schedule stating that you agree to these terms, as well as letting me know if you will be
taking the after-school activity bus or if they are able to pick you up from the school.
*Parents, please note that if you or someone you approve of driving your daughter cannot
pick her up after the football games or practice, your daughter will miss most of the season
and therefore asked to please not tryout.
