As a member of the Century High School cheerleading program, I will conduct myself in a manner that positively represents my school and my team. I will follow all school rules and policies as well as policies instructed by my coach.
As a Century High School Cheerleader, I’m expected to:
KEEP MY GRADES UP
I must keep my grades up in order to be eligible. NO F’S or below a 2.0 GPA
I will inform my coach when my academics are becoming a concern.
GET TO SCHOOL ON TIME
If you are late and unexcused you may NOT participate that day, however you must attend practice/game to watch only. Please remember this effects your whole team. Coaches need to know in advance of any missed practices.
GET TO PRACTICE ON TIME AND PREPARED
Practice times are on the schedule. All team members should be there dressed (with shoes) and ready to warm-up and roll mats 15 minutes prior. If you need to see the trainer, get there immediately after school, before practice begins.
NO JEWELRY ON ANY PART OF YOUR BODY
At practice or games, if piercing can’t come out, you must tape them. At invitational/competitions, all piercings must come out, no tape.
GET TO GAMES ON TIME
Game times will be distributed. You must arrive an hour before games, unless other instructions were given by your coach. Varsity may need to cheer at JV games.
BE PREPARED FOR PRACTICE
Please wear practice uniform and appropriate shoes for cheering.
GAME DAY ATTIRE
Uniforms will be worn on game days and must be CLEAN!! Wear make-up appropriately. You are representing the entire squad. Away games you will be required to dress nice (NO JEANS & THEME DAYS ARE NOT PERMITTED)

Unless it is an emergency, email/text your coach
RESPECT MYSELF, THE COACHES AND MY TEAMMATES
Negative attitudes, talking, bullying and disrespect for the team will not be tolerated and you could be removed from the team. This also goes for social media. All cheer related pictures/videos must be approved by the coach before posted on social media.
NO CELL PHONES AT PRACTICE
This includes breaks. No excuses and phones will be taken away until the end of practice. If there is an issue or emergency, let your coach know right away.
I’M AWARE THAT I COULD BE PULLED FROM THE COMPETITION FLOOR AT ANYTIME DUE TO SKILL LEVEL, GRADES, BEHAVIOR, ABSENCES OR ANYTHING ELSE LISTED IN THIS CONTRACT.
I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE 2 UNEXCUSED ABSENCES ALLOWED PER SEASON!!
Each additional violation will result in disciplinary action taken by my coaches.
