Shamrock All-Star Attendance Policy 2014-2015All-Star Cheerleading is a TEAM sport. Participating in this sport is a YEAR-LONG commitment thatrequires dedication in attitude and in presence. Practices are ONE, TWO or THREE times a week for eachsquad, with an occasional make-up or extra practice. If the coaches are forced to pull a member from acompetition because of absences, it hurts the entire team. Pulling a member will force the entire squad tochange formations and stunts for that competition.**Please note that Shamrock Cheerleading does not necessarily follow Gymnastics Unlimited’ s closings and holidaybreaks. We will make every effort to make cheerleaders aware of our practice schedules with advanced warning. **From May 6 through Camp WeekEveryone will be allowed 6 absences. After 6 missed practices, each missed practice will be made up with a PrivateLesson (private lesson fees are 20/ half hour and 40/hour). The coach will determine the appropriate length oftime for the lesson based on what material needs to be covered. If excessive absences cause a team member tofall behind, or hurts the rest of her team, dismissal from the squad may occur.Camp WeekJune 23-27 (Tentative Date, Subject to Change)Mandatory Camp Week all Shamrocks must attendFrom July 8 through Our First CompetitionEveryone will be allowed 2 excused absences.

Illness or emergency.After 2 absences, all missed practices may result in a Private Lesson requiring private lesson fees. Routinechoreography will be ongoing and the cheerleader must show that she has mastered the missed material. This mayinclude working with stunt group members therefore coordinating schedules. If 4 practices have been missed it isalso the coaches’ discretion whether to allow the cheerleader to participate in the competition and couldresult in dismissal from the squad.*Again, pulling a cheerleader results in many changes to the routine; we ask that you keep us informed!*From one competition to the followingEveryone will be allowed 1 Excused Absence.
