Cheer Code of Conduct

By joining the SCCHEA Warriors Cheer team, I agree to uphold the following program rules:

1. I will demonstrate the character quality of attentiveness by listening to the instructions of my coaches.
2. I will demonstrate the character quality of faithfulness by attending all practices and games.
3. I will demonstrate the character quality of orderliness by abiding by the dress code. I understand uniforms for SCCHEA Cheer are specifically designed to provide safety for our athletes while maintaining a modest, non-offensive appearance.

I understand athletes are required to adhere to the following guidelines:

• Only official SCCHEA Cheer uniforms may be worn to games, showcases, or other events.
• Only official SCCHEA Cheer and/or other pre-approved practice gear may be worn at practices.
• Official SCCHEA Cheer shoes must be worn at all practices, games, showcases, or other events.
• Proper care and maintenance must be taken to preserve the appearance of SCCHEA Cheer uniforms and practice gear.
• Hair and makeup must be styled in accordance with uniform guidelines for each event.
• No jewelry may be worn during practices, games, showcases or other events.
• Maintain a clean and neat personal appearance during the season.

4. I will respect, take care of, and assist in any necessary clean-up of all spaces utilized by the SCCHEA Cheer Team.
5. I will maintain a positive, teachable attitude no matter the circumstances.
6. I will maintain a positive presence on all platforms of social media as well as in texting groups. I understand that these forums are not the place to air frustrations about SCCHEA, the Cheer program, my team, and/or my coaches.
7. I will demonstrate the character quality of self-control by not participating in the use of profane language, alcohol, tobacco, or drugs.
8. I will keep my focus on team activities during all events, practices, and games.

SCCHEA Cheer Parents’ Code of Conduct

By letting my student join a SCCHEA Warriors Cheer team, I agree to uphold the following program rules:

1. I will support and help ensure that the Cheer Athlete Code of Conduct is followed by my student.
2. I will maintain a positive presence on all platforms of social media as well as in texting groups. I understand that these forums are not the place to air frustrations about SCCHEA, the Cheer program, my child’s team, and/or my child’s coaches.
3. I understand that the SCCHEA Cheer program is volunteer-driven. In order for the program to be successful, each person must do their part. I agree to assist the team, if asked, how I can and to the best of my abilities.
4. I will ensure my child arrives on time to all practices, games, and events.
5. I will demonstrate the character quality of self-control by not participating in the use of profane language, alcohol, tobacco, or drugs at practices, games, or other events.
6. We understand that, as in any group, there will be conflict. We have the following in place for conflict management:

• When you desire to have a meeting with a coach concerning a conflict, you will need to schedule a meeting with the coach and two board members.
• The time to talk about conflict is not in the heat of the moment. Please do not approach the coach with frustrations following a practice, game, or event. Take time to pray about the situation, then set up a meeting as lined out above.
• I further understand that dealing with conflict should not interrupt a practice, game, or other event but should be handled at a different, scheduled time.
