The use of our name and logo is strictly prohibited. Thank you! Practice Wear Is Required! - NO t-shirts. Black tank tops are allowed. - Hair must be pulled up and away from face. Parents of younger children, PLEASE do this prior to practice. Coaches spend too much time locating hair bands and putting hair up. -Shoes -Cheerleaders will have consequences if wrong practice gear is worn. If you cannot locate the correct gear, a black tank top is ALWAYS acceptable. - Wear anything you want to Tumble classes Additional Requests Guests/siblings- We LOVE friends and family….just not in the gym during practices. If your child has a sleepover, their friends cannot come to practice with them. Entering gym- We LOVE parents, just not in the gym during practices. Office- Our office space is VERY small and shared by 2 separate entities…..cheerleaders and parents, PLEASE do not enter the office, or use it as a walk-thru. We appreciate your consideration. Attitude- is EVERYTHING! If parents are positive and believe in our coaches/program….children will as well. Be good role models. Waiting room talk- Keep it positive…..No Debbie Downers please! We always appreciate an explanation, however there are no excused and unexcused absences. (In my book, there are VERY few good reasons to miss practice) An absence is an absence is an absence……..the effect on the team is the same. If a child’s attendance becomes an issue, coaches reserve the right to make changes to the routine as needed. Attendance……. Tumble classes- Being able to perform a skill and mastering a skill are two very different things.
