Update for HCHS Competition Squad

Competition Camp has been rescheduled for August 9-10. Camp June 24-25 has been CANCELLED.

Thanks!

Cheer Reminders for June

Cheer camp is quickly approaching and there are a few reminders I’d like to send your way.
1      - Don’t forget the second half of your payment is due next week. Heather will be out of town June 4-6 for yearbook camp. If you’d like to pay on Monday, she and Lynn will be in Clinton and we can also give you your camp clothes. However, if you’d rather wait, you’ll need to get Lynn your money on Wednesday. It would really be better if you could try to get it to us on Monday, for camp clothes purposes, but we understand if you’d like to wait.
2         -Coke order forms NEED to be picked up on Monday- we will be at the high school from 11:00-1:00. Remember, these sales will go towards your cheer package this fall. Cokes are our best fundraiser, because they’re easy to sell. Make the most of it :)
3       -We need the NCA camp forms (these were sent home with a calendar), returned ASAP. Just drop it by the high school at any time and the office can put it in our mailboxes.
4       -On the calendar you received that broke down each day at camp, one of these days is Crazy Day. As long as the girls wear their T-shirt, shorts, bow, and tennis shoes that day, anything else is fair game. Each girl can decide how she’d like to spice up her outfit.
5       -If you do not own a pair of spanks (black or red), please contact someone who will to see if you can take theirs to camp. When we wear our red uniform, you MUST have spanks on underneath. I’m not picky over which color you choose for camp. All cheerleaders from last year should have two pairs (one red and one black).
6       -When we leave on Thursday for camp, each girl should be dressed in her camp outfit and ready to leave the High School at 9:15.
7       -Finally, on Sunday, this is the day that parents are allowed to attend the awards ceremony at camp. Please feel free to come support our girls. The awards ceremony will start at 11:15.
1       -Last reminder we have for you is a couple of packing tips. Please remember, we will be staying in dorm rooms, which means you need to bring everything you need, including bedding. It makes no difference whether or not you choose to bring a sleeping bag or sheets, but there will only be a mattress on the bed, nothing else. Don’t forget a pillow either :)!

Merit/Demerit System



HCS Cheerleading Merit and Demerit System
In order to create a squad that is responsible, reliable, and honorable, the coaches have decided to set forth a merit and demerit system for the upcoming 2012-2013 cheer squads. Merits and demerits can be issued by either coach and are set in stone. Every cheerleader is responsible for their own actions- no one else.
Merits
                Merits are given for conduct above and beyond the expectations of a cheerleader. Demerits earned under the Attendance and Tardies, and Performance Behavior can be cancelled out by acquiring 5 merits for every 1 demerit. Merits cannot cancel demerits earned for Misconduct.
                3              A/B Honor roll or above each 9 weeks
                3              Perfect attendance at school (all day, each class) for each 9 weeks
                2              Perfect attendance at all practices and performances for each 9 weeks
                1-5          The sponsor may assign merits for special assignments, performances, and volunteering, etc.
Demerits
            After 15 demerits have been received, a member is dismissed from the squad for the remainder of the school year.
A.     Attendance and Tardies
5              Unexcused absence from a performance or activity
4              Unexcused absence from any practice
3              Unexcused tardy to any practice, performance, or activity (more than 5 minutes)
B.      Performance Behavior
2              Failure to wear the correct uniform or attire to practice
2              Persistent inappropriate behavior during performance or activity (talking/laughing on sidelines)
3              Failure to wear the correct uniform or attire to a performance or activity
3              Not learning and/or knowing cheers, chants, dances
3              Failure to return to the court on time after halftime
3              Chewing gum while leading cheers, eating or primping on sidelines (this includes practice)
3              Not following directions
3              Using cell phone during practice, performance, activity without permission
3              Missing any part of the uniform (including shoes, poms, etc.) or wearing prohibited items (hair not up, headband, no bow/wrong bow, wearing jewelry, colored nail polish, etc.)
        C. Misconduct
                15           Any conduct resulting in an arrest by law officials
                15           Possession or consumption of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, etc.
                10           Any disciplinary action resulting in assignment to the District’s Alternative School
                10           Inappropriate media: pictures/language (phone pictures/videos, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.)
                10           Any disciplinary action resulting in suspension from school
                10           Wearing uniform in public when not with the squad or sponsor without permission from sponsor
5              Unladylike conduct at any time (disrespect toward sponsor, other cheerleader, or any other adult in a supervisory role). (In uniform or not) This includes inappropriate language.
                3              Any offense that results in a detention (other than tardies)
As a cheerleading accumulates Demerits, the following will occur:
                3 Demerits                            Written Warning from cheer sponsor
                5 Demerits                            Parent notification, Physical conditioning
10 Demerits                          Parent meeting and suspension (length to be determined by administration and sponsor) and physical conditioning
                15 Demerits                          Removal from Cheer Squad

Physical conditioning may also be assigned at any time for any of the above. It can be individual or team conditioning.
