PRACTICES ALL Cheering practices are CLOSED The Mini Knights will have the first two weeks open to allow time for the athlete to get acquainted with the coach as we understand that age group can be more shy. Coaches reserve the right to hold practices without an audience. For safety reasons we need to have as little distraction for the cheerleaders and coaches. Some routines are challenging and we do not want to create any unnecessary risk. Coaches may offer sneak peak practices during the season. You will have many opportunities to see your child(ren) perform throughout the season. Parents may wait out in the lobby area if they wish for the Mini and Mighty Knights teams. Season runs November 9th through April 11th.ATTENDANCEWe have a strict attendance policy for Competition Cheering. This program requires all it's participants to be present at ALL practices in order for the routines to be a success. If your child is ill; you must call the coach to inform them of their absence as soon as possible. If the coach does not receive a phone call or notification of your child's absence prior to the start of practice, it will be marked as unexcused. If a child is sick for more than 2 practices, a doctor's note will be required to return. Stunting and formation makes this sport difficult to function without all team members. Three unexcused absences can result in being removed from the team without a refund. Coaches will decide on what is considered an excused or unexcused absence. We understand some families like to take vacations during February break, please let coaches know ASAP if you plan to be away. If coaches do not get notification of an absence, it will count as unexcused. ChoreographyWe will be holding MANDATORY choreography sessions for the Varsity team.
