* Tuition is due on the 1st, late on the 5th. After the 5th if fees are not paid in full the child will not be allowed on the floor. This is a liability issue.
* Competition fees are due no later than 3 weeks prior to the event. The child will be removed from any critical positioning if fees are not received and the child will not be allowed to compete. Should fees be paid late there is no guarantee the child's previous position will be reinstated.
* Sportsmanship is an integral part of cheerleading. This applies to the adults as well as the children. Bad mouthing, trash talking, or any action taken meant to be negative towards another will result in the expulsion of the member. Period.
* Practices prior to a competition are MANDATORY. There are NO excused absences, period. It is absolutely necessary for all members to be present for these practices. Generally this will be no less than 2 weeks before an event but depending on the event, holidays, skills, etc may be changed to more or less. You will be notified of schedule changes with plenty of time.
* No uniforms will be handed out without full payment.
* Returned checks will incur a $30 fee. If not honored/paid within 2 weeks, we will make use of any and all remedies available under the law.
