All team choices are final (If there are concerns about tryout results, they may be brought
to the athletic director, 48 hours after tryouts)
Stunting and competitive positions are subject to change and at the coach’s
discretion. Coaches will move athletes around to what seems to work best for the team as
a whole. Just because an athlete has always performed in one position, does not mean
they will keep that position. Athletes need to be flexible to do what is best for the team
overall. Also, athletes that tryout with a particular skill, are expected not only to maintain
that skill, but show improvement.
Practice Requirements:
NO JUNK FOOD OR EATING AT PRACTICE
Day assigned team practice clothes, plus sports bra, cheer shoes
Hair up, NO clips
No Jewelry AT ALL, no form of fake nails

If absent from school the entire day, must be absent from practice that day as well
Grounding from practice is ALWAYS unexcused, as well as; babysitting, Driver’s Ed,
lack of transportation, conflict with job schedules, and/or failure to read the calendar
(Grounding your son/daughter from cheer punishes the whole team. This is now a
responsibility, a commitment.)

Practices during the week of competitions are Black Out practices. Black Out practices
are not excused for any reason except vomiting and/or fever. If practices are missed the
week of competition, athlete will be replaced by an alternate or another athlete in the
program.
Cheerleaders will be tested on cheers and sports. If unable to pass, they will be unable to
cheer. If they are unable to cheer for more than two weeks in a row, they will be
removed from the program.
Grade Eligibility Requirements:
All athletes must maintain good academic standing to participate according to program,
school, district, and CHSAA rules. At no point should any athlete compete or cheer a
game if they hold two ‘F’s. An athlete may not hold one ‘F’ if only enrolled in five
courses. If any athlete has a ‘F’ and two ‘D’ combination, they may also be asked not to
perform. Grade checks will occur weekly.
Varsity Nationals:
The Varsity team plans to travel to Nationals. Parents are invited to come, but athletes
will be rooming together as a team. Costs normally range from $900 to $1,200. This cost
normally includes, room, flight, and competition costs. Please understand we will use the
same routine from state, with slight changes. This means each athlete’s position is
extremely important throughout the entire season. More information is to come, as the
year progresses. The requirement for Regionals and Nationals is a well round dancing,
stunting, motion, and energy skill, and tumbling.
Participation Dues:
The following are the list of dues. Please understand that costs and dues are very
different. Dues are what pay for the program to run overall. Costs are itemized. We will
conduct fundraisers throughout the year to offset costs. All uniforms are owned by
ThunderRidge Cheerleading. No monies will be refunded throughout the season, even if
an athlete quits, or is removed. Cheer shoes purchased individually.
New to Varsity Dues Overall: $1,000
Returning to Varsity Dues Overall: $800
New to Junior Varsity Dues Overall: $900
Returning to Junior Varsity Dues Overall: $700
Level 3 Dues Overall: TBD
United Elite Fees, All Teams: $75 per month (August-February)
Varsity Nationals: $800-$1200
TR Registration Fee, All Teams: $150
Varsity Competition Team:
AN EMPHASIS WILL BE PLACED ON ADVANCED STUNTING AND TUMBLING
We currently do not know what division we will be competing for the 2015-2016 school
year. If you are not selected to compete Varsity State, you will still be considered a
member of the Varsity team and will be asked to compete State for Junior Varsity. No
one has a permanent position on the mat, and everyone should constantly be working for
mat time. Competition spots will be determined based on the needs of the team.
Alternating positions
Benefits to the team:
*At practices, alternating athletes are able to fill in as well as spot
*If an athlete is unable to participate, an alternate can fill in and already knows the
routine and has been trained at the same level as the other athletes
Benefits to alternating athletes, for the athlete:
*Ability to cheer at games
*Performs at pep assemblies
*Varsity alternates still have the ability to letter
How do you choose who will compete, for all levels?
Odd numbers will make Varsity, and possibly JV and Level 3.
The decision of who makes the competition floor is made the same way teams are chosen
at tryouts. After teams are decided in April, athletes are evaluated at practices and other
events. Tumbling is often the determining factor, however stunting is also considered.
For example, if the team is competing in Large Varsity, the top 20 tumblers may not be
chosen, they need to fit into solid stunt groups as well. At 20 that would be 5 flyers, 10
bases and 5 back spots. A versatile athlete that can be placed in different stunting
positions is helpful to this process. Also, athletes may work in and out of the routine until
the days prior to a competition to assure the right athletes were ready for the competition
floor.
Consequences:
Preparation consequences will result in extra conditioning for the team. Unexcused
absences will not be tolerated, and benching from games will occur. Once an athlete has
been benched for three games due to unexcused absences, they will NOT letter. For JV,
they may be asked to not compete with the team. All other consequences are left up to the
coaching staff. Please understand that repeat offenders will be required to have a parent
meeting about the future of the athlete in the program.
Parent/Athlete Agreement
This program is physically demanding, time and financially consuming, and has high
expectations. I have read the 2015/2016 ThunderRidge Cheerleading Contract and clearly
understand all that is required as an athlete and parent. I promise to communicate through
the requested chain of command. I will follow all rules pertaining to practices, games,
competitions, events, and due dates. I understand athlete position can change over the
course of the season. I understand this contract counts as the warning for participation in
alcohol, drugs, and bullying. I understand I may be removed from the cheerleading
program if I participate in alcohol, drugs, and bullying. I understand I am underage, and
participation and possession of alcohol and drugs is illegal.
I know and accept the consequences if rules are broken.
Parent/Guardian Role Contract
Cheerleading requires a GREAT deal of time, commitment, and dedication on the part of
the parents. Before tryouts, read and consider all information before allowing your
son/daughter to tryout. If your son/daughter is selected please:
*Encourage him/her to abide by the rules set forth by coaches and administrators 100%
*Attend parent meetings
*Make payments in a timely fashion and understand the financial requests
*Refrain from using cheerleading as a punishment (This does not punish one cheerleader
but an entire squad)
*Agree to notify your coach if your cheerleader is ill
*Oversee the time management of your cheerleader (i.e. practice and game
schedules, homework completion, relaxation time, etc.)
*Furnish punctual transportation if needed (particularly if your son/daughter does not
drive)
*Provide all the encouragement your cheerleader needs in his/her pursuit of excellence
*Check the cheer website and emails for any and all updates
*Recognize that unforeseen circumstances do occur, interim changes to anything
in this document may be made at the discretion of the coaches and administration. All
decisions made by the coaches and/or administration are final.
*Communicate by chain of command: 1-athlete to coach, 2-parent to coach, if
unresolved, 3-athlete, parent, coach and athletic director meet
*Hold cheerleader accountable to communicate absences, conflicts, concerns, etc with
her team coach first
*Respect that practices are closed to parents, unless prearranged
*Contact the coaches via email or phone to discuss any issues, or to schedule a time to
meet. Games, before and after practice, at school, or in front of athletes is not the time or
place to approach the coaching staff about issues.
*Participate in fundraisers to help the program run smoothly
*Allow coaches 48 hours to respond to any inquiries

others by name on a public forum, or making up/spreading rumors of others on
social media.

substances in the background will result in a two game suspension. More than one

Training Rules and Expectations / Parent or Guardian Advisement and Permit
High-School Athletics Training Rules & Expectations
As a representative of DCSD’s athletic programs, I understand and accept that:
•
•
•
•
It is my privilege and honor to wear my school colors
I am a leader in and out of uniform
My actions are a reflection of myself, my family, my school, and community
I’m accountable for my performance in the classroom and my conduct in the community.
In exchange for the opportunity to participate in DCSD interscholastic athletics and in accordance with
Policy JJI, I agree to the following:
Scope of Rules
From the day a student first participates in a DCSD high-school sport until that student graduates from high
school, these rules remain in effect, throughout the school year, during summer, fall, winter and spring
breaks, including weekends, vacations, and holidays, and regardless if the student is on or off DCSD
property.
The consequences outlined here are in addition to, not instead of, those the student may receive under the
DCSD’s Code of Conduct, the Colorado High School Activities Association By-laws, coaches’ team rules,
or other sources. They represent minimum sanctions; the Principal or designee may increase or modify
these consequences in particular cases or in general as he or she deems appropriate.
Although some prohibited behaviors listed below refer to DCSD’s Code of Conduct, because these training
rules are in effect at times and in places when the Code of Conduct may not be, and because students who
participate in athletics are held to higher behavioral expectations than other students, the Principal or
designee may determine that a student’s conduct constitutes grounds for imposing an athletic penalty under
these rules even when that conduct does not result in suspension or expulsion under the Code of Conduct.
Prohibited Behaviors
• Violating DCSD’s policies regarding drugs & alcohol (JICH) and tobacco use (JICG)
• Violating DCSD’s weapons policy (JICI)
• Violating DCSD’s gang-related behaviors and dress policy (JICF)
• Violating any criminal law
• Continued willful disobedience or open and persistent defiance of proper authority
• Willful destruction or defacing of school property
• Behavior detrimental to the student’s, other students’, or school personnel’s welfare, health, or
safety
• Any other conduct that would constitute grounds for suspension under DCSD policy JKD/JKE.
Consequences
The following minimum consequences will result whenever the Principal or designee concludes that a
student has engaged in any of the prohibited behaviors listed above.
•
•
•
First offense: For sports with 11 or fewer regular-season contests, the student will be suspended
for the next contest; for those with more than 11 regular-season contests, the student will be
suspended for the next 2 contests. These suspensions will be imposed whether or not the next
contest or contests are regular-season contests or are special events, tournaments, or qualifiers.
Second offense: The student will be suspended from all sports throughout DCSD for 1 full year
from the date of the infraction. If, however, a student initiates contact with school authorities to
voluntarily report his or her involvement in conduct prohibited by these rules, then the student will
be eligible for the following lesser second offense penalty: The student will be suspended from
the remainder of the season of the sport he or she was participating in at the time of the conduct
and, upon proof that the student has successfully completed an intervention class chosen by the
school athletic director, the student will only be suspended from the first 50% of the regularly
scheduled contests of the next Sport that the student participates in for an entire season.
Third offense: The student will be suspended from all sports throughout DCSD for 1 full year
from the date of the infraction, except that if a second offense suspension is still in effect, then the
date of the third offense suspension will not begin on the date of the infraction, but rather will
begin on the day after the second offense suspension ends.
Tobacco Consequence Only:
• First offense: The student receives a warning and must attend site based tobacco education or
community service.
• Second offense: For sports with 11 or fewer regular-season contests, the student will be suspended
for the next contest; for those with more than 11 regular-season contests, the student will be
suspended for the next 2 contests. These suspensions will be imposed whether or not the next
contest or contests are regular-season contests or are special events, tournaments, or qualifiers.
• Third offense: The student will be suspended from all sports throughout DCSD for 1 full year
from the date of the infraction, except that if a second offense suspension is still in effect, then the
date of the third offense suspension will not begin on the date of the infraction, but rather will
begin on the day after the second offense suspension ends.
Nothing in these rules prohibits the Principal, designee, or individual coaches from establishing and
enforcing additional rules applicable to Athletics, such as lesser or different penalties for failing to exercise
good sportsmanship at practices or competitions or for failing to demonstrate good citizenship at school or
school-sponsored events.

TRANSPORTATION
DOUGLAS COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT RE-1
Transportation Awareness Consent and Release
The Douglas County School District (the “District”) provides District transportation for students to and
from a great many activities, events, matches and games. However, the District is unable to provide
District transportation in all circumstances and to all events. When District transportation is not available,
it is the student’s parent’s/guardian’s responsibility to provide or arrange for their student’s transportation
to and from the event.
When District transportation is not available and other alternative forms of transportation are utilized, the
District cannot and does not assume any responsibility for the safety, training of drivers, condition of
vehicles, adequacy for the use or purpose intended or any other matters related to any non-District
transportation.
Therefore, we, the undersigned parent/guardian and student, hereby acknowledge, agree and understand
that the District does not insure, endorse, approve or sponsor any form of non-District transportation,
whether by parents, students or otherwise, to and from District off-campus activities or events. We further
acknowledge it is our responsibility to provide or arrange for our/my child’s transportation to District
events when District transportation is not available. As such we consent to our child’s use of alternative
means of transportation, including private vehicles driven by parents, and, if applicable, consent to our
child’s use of a vehicle to transport himself/herself to off-campus events. We hereby waive, release,
discharge and agree to hold harmless and indemnify the District, its agents, employees, insurers and Board
of Education, from any claim, cause of action, damage, injury, or demand of any nature, including bodily
injury, property damage or death, arising from or sustained during or as a result of my/our child’s
utilization of or participation in any non-District transportation, whether furnished by us, our student,
parent or otherwise.
Tennis-Cross Country-Gymnastics-Swim/Dive-Golf Teams
Site Management and Consent
The Douglas County School District (the “District”) provides District transportation for students to and
from a great many activities, events, matches and games. The nature of these sports, needing off-campus
practice and meet sites, limits the district’s capacity to bus on every occasion. In such instances, whether
for practices or scheduled meets, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian of the student to arrange the
student’s transportation to and from the event. The school district will not assume responsibility for the
supervision, safety or adequacy of non-school district furnished transportation.
Be further advised that the school district personnel may not supervise certain golf practices, matches and
tennis practices. Participation in the practices or matches rest with the student and their
parent/guardian. The school district will not assume responsibility for the student’s conduct or safety in
connection with these practices and/or matches. As a student participant in the Douglas County Schools
golf, cross country, gymnastics, swim/dive, and/or tennis programs, I recognize the dangers associated with
the issues described and I agree to assume the risk involved while participating. As the parent/guardian of
the above-named student, I recognize the dangers associated with the issues described and consent to the
participation of the above-named student.
SPORTING BEHAVIOR
A student group made up of members from the Douglas County Student Advisory Group and student
representatives of athletic programs at the high schools, met to discuss and work on sporting behavior with
the schools in Douglas County. After discussion and feedback, two documents were developed. It is the
hope of these students that their peers, as well as their supporters, work to understand and implement their
ideals.
Our Pledge for Sporting Behavior
I understand the responsibilities and privileges of representing my school in competitive activities and,
therefore, will maintain the high standards of sporting behavior.
I pledge to uphold the integrity of my team, my school and my community by:
•
•
•
•
taking responsibility for all of my actions;
demonstrating respect for everyone;
being a positive role model;
accepting the outcome of the event with dignity and class
