Athletes will be placed on teams with other athletes of similar skill sets. We offer small and large sized teams in levels 1-6. Athletes get stronger, advance their skills and begin choreography during the summer. Practices are important, but we do want families to enjoy their summer vacation time, camps, and other summer activities. Summer practices policy is; if you are in town, we need you at practice. We have created a very “weekend friendly” summer schedule so that families can still enjoy all weekends together. As of September 8th, practices become mandatory during our competitive season.

The term tumbling is used to describe gymnastic elements such as cartwheels and backhand springs. Our tumbling packages are designed for athletes who are serious about advancing in the sport. If your daughter loves tumbling and cheerleading - she should be training her skills with our coaches who know the sport of cheerleading inside and out. Local gymnastic clubs do not offer the same level of expertise in cheerleading specific tumbling. Athletes training with a tumbling package at the tank advance their skills much quicker. We offer the following types of lessons: Semi-Private: $30 +HST, 45-minute tumbling lesson. $32 +HST for a restricted coach.

US/Guest Instructors: Semi-private: $35-$40+HST, Group Class: $25+HST. We often have guest professionals visit the gym to offer their expertise. They bring a variety of strengths and are an asset to our athletes training. Open Tumbling: These times are included in your monthly tuition fees. 1 hour, drop-in as scheduled. One coach, similar to a lifeguard, supervises open tumbling.

During the competitive season (October-April) practice is essential to the success of the teams. The Sharks are successful because of our attendance policy. We expect that all efforts are made to attend team practices and that families take their commitment seriously. Cheer at the Sharks must be a priority for your family. If your athlete is absent from practice, it negatively impacts her team, and could effect her role in the routine. Competitions are also mandatory, athletes and their families are expected to make every effort to attend. Please look carefully at the competition schedule, and take into consideration the travel and fees associated with each team. Most of our teams will travel to the USA and need a passport. Mandatory parent meetings will occur during the first month of practices to meet the team and review the gym policy and important dates of the season. The attendance policy will be similar to the 2015-2016 season and will be available at registration. It will include a $50 deposit, which you will get back at the end of the season if your agreement is fulfilled. Champ Camps:These are 2-day level camps designed to standardize and advance stunts, techniques and skills within the team. This camp is included in your yearly investment and includes all Cheer Sport & guest instructors, and a camp tank top! All athletes are expected to attend. CHAMP CAMP DATES Level 1 August 17 - 18 Level 2 August 19 & 20 Level 3 August 25 & 26 Level 4 July 17 & 18 Level 5 July 15 & 16 Uniforms Included in your yearly investment is a practice uniform consisting of a program t-shirt and a custom team training set as well as a competition hair bow. All uniforms are property of Cheer Sport. We own these competition uniforms and rent them to each athlete. The rental fee is included in your yearly investment. We do this to keep our cost for you as low as possible- the average uniform costs $300. The rental fee will allow us to purchase new team uniforms, additional uniforms and uniform maintenance. Please be reminded that these are rented uniforms and will not be custom fit to your athletes and cannot be altered. Uniforms must be returned at the end of each season. All athletes will need to purchase the appropriate personal uniform items for their team. These items include but are not limited to cheer shoes, make-up, and travel wear. Teams traveling to two or more U.S. competitions will need to purchase the mandatory warm-up suit ($125 for jacket and pants). These items are the property of the athlete, and can be worn and re-worn every year. The cost of these items is determined on a team-by-team basis, and ranges from $25-$200.

We value hard working, positive athletes who understand that the TEAM comes before the individual. Coaches reserve the right to modify routines as needed, and athletes will be expected to support decisions that are deemed as best for the team. We will only allow skills that have been mastered with proper technique to be competed. This is at the coaches discretion. Skills permitted in a routine may change from Day 1 to Day 2 at a competition based on deductions. Absolutely no jewelry can be worn to practice or competitions. All athletes are expected to be good teammates, and no gossip, pettiness, bullying or alienating will be tolerated. These continued behaviors are grounds for dismissal from our program. Athletes are expected to maintain at a minimum, the skills they had at the start of the season. We reserve the right to move athletes if they are not holding true to this expectation. Athletes must treat their coaches, CITs, guest instructors, volunteers and admin staff with the utmost respect. We promise to do the same for our athletes. Athletes must communicate with coaches. If you don’t tell us you’re injured, we may not know! Parent’s Role & Responsibilities a. b. c. d. e. The Parents Role in the gym is simple – support the team and club by supporting your athlete in a positive manner. Be your Child’s Cheerleader: Tell them that you’re proud of them and that you love them! Pay all bills in a timely manner. Unfortunately athletes with past-due bills will be asked to sit out of practice. The chain of command for parent information is as follows: i. Team Cheer Mom ii. Coach iii. Gym Directors – Ali & Alana Support your athlete’s commitment to the team by ensuring they are at practice and following our attendance policy. Stay in the know by upholding your end of communication, yes, that means reading emails! Club-Wide Rules a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. Our goal is to teach athletes the responsibility that comes from maintaining commitment to a competitive team. This means that we rely on parents to help us enforce our attendance policy by ensuring that your athlete does not let her team down by continued absences. Removing cheer is not an acceptable form of punishment as it impacts the entire team. NO GOSSIP will be tolerated. Please refrain from talking about other athletes, families, coaches, etc. We strive to keep Cheer Sport a positive environment and take this very seriously. We will always be happy to talk about concerns; however will not tolerate continued negativity. Persistent negativity from parents or athletes is grounds for dismissal from our program. If you have a concern, please address it with the appropriate person so that we can solve it, or explain it. Let’s all work to keep Cheer Sport a positive environment. Please help to keep our gym as pretty as the day it opened! Tidy up after yourself and your children. Parents are not permitted in the gym unless asked by a coach. We reserve the right to close practices should we feel it is in the best interest of the athletes. Our social media policy is as follows: Everyone affiliated with the Sharks must refrain from posting negative thoughts about the team, gym, coaches, athletes or other programs. It’s simple – we feel that addressing concerns directly, versus on social media, is the only acceptable method. Please leave all valuables at home. We are not responsible for lost or missing items. Our brand is extremely important to us and has taken years to develop. Permission to use our logo, name, or shark-specific words must be obtained from Ali & Alana in writing. No exceptions. The Sport of Cheerleading a. b. c. d. e. 10 We will always do what we feel is best for the team – there is no greater team sport than cheerleading! Routines may be modified, roles may change, all in the name of what is best for the team. We ask that you understand and support our decisions. We strive to put the most competitive team and routine on the floor that we can – you’ve come to the Sharks because of our tradition of excellence. Please help us maintain this. Safety is our number one concern. We have highly trained staff that are the best in the industry.
