Policies and Practices

Tuition Policies

Tuition Charges begin in May of 2006 and continue through April of 2007.

All Dynamic members must pay their monthly tuition no later than the 10^th of each month. A $20.00 late fee is assessed to your account after that date.

Tuition covers all practices (regular and extra) during the Cheerleading Season.

Dynamic Gymnastics and Cheer will not pro-rate tuition for any missed classes.

Tuition is based on a 12 month program with Holidays and 5 week months taken into account. Because we do not charge for extra practices, we cannot give allowances for vacations, Holidays, or missed classes.

Regular Practices

All Competitive Team classes are scheduled and posted on our website. Classes begin the week of May 15, 2006. We are aware of most school activities that might conflict with our program, be assured that every effort is made to hold practices on a day that you will be able to attend. Obviously, time conflicts may not be able to be resolved for some students. If someone is placed on a team that holds practice on an unavailable night, we will make every effort to move that person to a more acceptable team. We will not move anyone to a higher level team simply because it is a better night for them to attend practice. Our team structure must come first in order to have a successful program.

Extra Practices

Extra practices will be scheduled on an “as needed” basis per squad. There is no limit to the number of extra practices for any particular team. Coaches will decide which teams need extra practices based on situations that arise throughout the season. Some teams may practice more than others due to injuries or choreography changes. We realize “short scheduling” can be an inconvenience, but please understand that it is to our advantage to have our teams fully prepared for every event they attend. We make every effort for short notices not to happen therefore we expect 100% participation.

Attendance

All regularly scheduled and extra practices are considered mandatory. They demand teamwork and dedication from all team members. The staff reserves the right to remove squad members from a performance and possibly the team if practices are missed. One school sponsored activity such as school cheerleading or school athletics is allowed as an excuse to miss a practice. Each situation is handled by the coaching staff on an individual basis. Please let your coach know of any conflicts that you may have as soon as possible. We are aware of school mandated testing and try to adjust hours during these times so that you may get plenty of rest. It is the student’s responsibility to learn any missed material. When missing a practice, you should designate another member to pick up any handouts and to teach you any new material necessary.

Policies and Practices – continued:

Additional Classes Available

In addition to your regularly scheduled team classes, we offer classes in tumbling and gymnastics. If you are interested in attending any of these, please check at our front desk for the schedule that will fit your needs.

Private Instruction Policies

In addition to tumbling classes students may take private class instruction. We allow our students to schedule privates with any of our coaches. It is important for you to know our instructors are contracted by you the customer for private classes. Dynamic Gymnastics & Cheer cannot schedule, take messages, or be responsible for the coach you hire. Coaches charge approximately $20.00 per half hour student, if you want to share that time with another student it is $30.00 per half hour or $15.00 per student.

All Dynamic Gymnastics and Cheer students must be cleared at a zero balance in order to take private lessons.

Individual Competition Policy

Any Team Member may sign up to compete in Individual Competitions. This may include but is not limited to:, Jump, Cheer, Crowd Pleaser, Crowd Leader Duo, Stunt Groups, Hip Hop Dance, Street Dance and any other competition that is handled as “Individuals” from the Competition Company. However, in order to compete in any of these categories, you must be a member of Dynamic Gymnastics and Cheer, on a Competitive Team, and current on your Account. Any account that is not current cannot compete in this category. All registrations must be handled through Dynamic Gymnastics and Cheer for any and all competitions. Please be aware that you are also liable for your own routines. You may contract the coaches to put routines or cheers together for you. This will fall under the Private Instruction Policy.

Fundraising Policy

We realize the high cost of cheerleading. We do our very best to keep our fees down. Our program is competitively priced in the cheerleading industry against other comparable companies.

We recommend putting a Booster Club together to handle fundraisers. By organizing a Booster Club and filing for 501C3 – Non Profit Status, you will be able to have companies sponsor your child or your child’s team. Many of our members have been successful in raising the funds they need to be in our program, however they are not able to receive sponsorship from corporations because they are not non-profit status.

Money raised by individuals will be credited directly to their account. We do not allow those funds to be distributed evenly amongst team members. We will do everything possible to help individuals if needed. We want everyone to have the opportunity to be a member of Dynamic Gymnastics and Cheer.

copy of Inherent Risks of Cheerleading

Cheerleading is reasonably safe as long as certain guidelines are followed, but there is the inherent risk of injury as in any athletic activity. Cheerleading is an anaerobic/aerobic activity which includes, but is not limited to, jumping, stunting, motions, and tumbling. Dynamic Gymnastics and Cheer strongly recommends each student undergo a physical examination by his/her physician before beginning any cheerleading activities. Each student must inform their coach of all injuries and/or chronic conditions.

Although the probability of injury is minimized if you practice correctly, there is always the possibility of one occurring. Injuries that can occur in cheerleading include, but are not limited to, the following: blisters, muscle strains, ligament sprains, joint and muscle soreness, abrasions, contusions, stress fractures, broken bones, spinal cord injuries involving paralysis, and even death. However, if you take certain precautions, the possibility of such injuries will be largely decreased.

Make sure you consistently abide by the following guidelines:

1. NEVER stunt or tumble unless a coach or coach’s designee is present.

2. Always practice in the presence of a qualified coach.

3. Always warm-up appropriately before cheering (practice and competition)

4. Do not attempt a stunt that you do not know how to perform safely.

5. Always use attentive spotters when learning to stunt.

6. Always cheer in an area free from obstruction.

7. Do not stunt on uneven ground, wet surfaces, or concrete.

8. Never talk, laugh, or mess around when performing a stunt.

9. Report all injuries to the coach as soon as they occur.

10. Follow all trainer and doctor recommendations.

11. Always wear shoes and clothing appropriate for cheerleading.

12. Never wear jewelry of any kind when cheering (practice and competitions).

13. Never chew gum or candy while cheering (practice and competitions).

14. Always have your hair secured away from face and shoulders.

15. Eat nutritious meals and get plenty of rest.

16. Always ask for assistance or advice at any time.

I have read the preceding warning. I thoroughly appreciate and understand the assumption of risks inherent in cheerleading participation. I acknowledge that I am physically fit and am voluntarily participating in this activity.

copy of Parent Agreement

It’s funny that we have more Parent Guidelines than Team Member Guidelines. Most of our parents appreciate the guidelines, treating them with respect. In fact, 95% of our current member’s parents never have any issue with our guidelines. They also appreciate the fact that we do not allow “Parent Politics” in our gym. We are reasonable, but our athletes, the Dynamic overall reputation, and pride in our name are the driving force behind our rules and regulations.

All Dynamic Gymnastics and Cheer All Star Cheerleader Parents/Guardians will be required to sign the following agreements:

1. I am aware of the time commitment necessary for my child to participate in the Dynamic Gymnastics and Cheer All Star Cheerleading Program.

2. I will be sure that my child attends all regularly scheduled practices from May of 2006 through April of 2007. In addition I will be sure that my child is available to attend any extra practices needed, especially the weekend prior to and the entire week of any performance or event.

3. I understand that all coaching decisions are made by the Dynamic Gymnastics and Cheer Coaching Staff and I will fully support those decisions.

4. I will not interfere with the coaching of any Dynamic Team at practices or performances.

5. I understand that I am not allowed in the coaching area (gym or practice facility) during a team practice or discussion. I am aware that this includes pre-warm-up, warm-up, and team discussions at competitions.

6. I understand that the parent area is available for parents to watch the progress of Dynamic practices. I will only speak positively about the program and/or coaches. In addition, I will not comment or give my opinion regarding any Dynamic athlete, the practice, or the routine unless I am asked by the coach.

7. I will respect the Dynamic facility as an athletic training center. I will constantly supervise any child/children that I bring to the gym. I will not allow my child/children behind the front desk at any time.

8. I understand that shoes must be worn in the parent area and practice facility. This includes any child/children that I bring to the gym.

9. If I have a problem concerning the coaching of my child, I will personally direct my issue to Bobbie or Rick Markland, away from the gym, practice site, performance or event. I will not discuss my personal coaching issues with the Team Coordinators, Team Moms, other Parents within the program, or my child.

10. I will openly express my concerns freely with my Coach concerning my child. I understand that voicing these concerns will not affect the coaching of my child or his/her squad placement.

11. I will not approach Competition Judges or Officials at any event. I understand that competition judging is subjective and I may not agree with the outcome of the judging scores. I am aware that my opinion of performance may differ from the opinions of the judges.

12. I understand that the Dynamic name will not carry my child or his/her team. I understand that the season will have its’ ups and downs. I will support my child, his/her team, the Dynamic Coaches, and the entire program through the great achievements and the minor setbacks. I am aware that the challenges will make the team and ultimately my child a better athlete.

13. I will direct my complaints, problems, and sensitive issues regarding any concerns I may have directly to Bobbie or Rick Markland via email: dynamicgym@sbcglobal.net or by leaving a message for them at 281-487-8455 to return my call.

Copy of Parent Agreement – continued:

14. I will represent the Dynamic program at competitions and events with good sportsmanship. I will only speak positively about the Dynamic program as well as Dynamic competitors.

15. I will not place blame of weak performance or missed skill in a routine on my child or any other Dynamic athlete. I understand that my child’s team succeeds together and fails together.

16. I will respect the duties of the Coaches, Team Coordinators, Team Moms and any of the Dynamic Gymnastics and Cheer Staff. I will not approach them at any event in a negative manner.

17. I will be responsible for all fees associated with my child being a part of Dynamic Cheer. These fees include monthly tuition, uniforms, competition entry fees, registration fees, coaches fees and any additional fees that may arise due to additional items being added.

18. I understand that my account must be cleared to a -0- balance 10 working days prior to an event in order for my child to perform. I am aware that Dynamic may prevent my child from performing and/or remove them from the team if my account is not up to date. Under these circumstances, I will not be entitled to a refund of any fees that I have all ready paid.

19. I understand that if the above can not be done, than I have all ready made arrangements with Bobbie Markland.

20. I understand that I must carry a -0- balance in order for my child to be able to sign up for private lessons.

25. I give permission to Dynamic Gymnastics and Cheer, to use my child’s picture for promotional and advertising purposes.

26. I give permission to Dynamic Gymnastics and Cheer to provide my address, phone number, email and any other contact information to other team members within the program.

27. I am aware that Dynamic strongly believes in the benefit of its students getting to know athletes from other areas, races, and cultures. I support Dynamic in its decision to not discriminate against its students based on race, background, or religion preference.

28. I understand that if I break any of the rules outlined in this agreement, I may be asked to drop off and pick up my child to and from the gym. In other words, Dynamic will put me on “drive by” status. If I am put on “drive by” status by the Dynamic Staff, my child may remain a member of Dynamic, but I will not be allowed to attend. In severe cases of agreement violation, Dynamic has the right to remove my child from a performance or team. Under these circumstances I forfeit my right to any refund of any monies collected by Dynamic Gymnastics and Cheer, including, but not limited to competition fees, coaches fees, pre-paid monthly tuition, registration fees, uniform fees and any other monies that may have been collected.
