Summerfield Recreation Association
2008-2009 Cheerleading Guidelines
Practices
- · One practice per week at the Summerfield Gym. Please be on time.
- · Children who miss two consecutive practices will be allowed to cheer at the games, but may not be
allowed to do the half-time routine.
- · Please no gum, candy, food, etc.
Games
- · Each squad will cheer at one game every Saturday at the Summerfield Gym.
- · Please be on time. See your coach for exact arrival time.
- · Coaches will alternate front and back rows of the squad for seating and on the court each game so that
each girl can have an opportunity to be on the front row.
- · Coaches will alternate cheer calling among the squad each game so that each girl has a turn to call a
cheer.
- · Cheerleaders will only be allowed to perform stunts 1 ½ people high with an adult spotter.
- · No gum, candy, food, etc. allowed.
Uniform
- · Vest, skirt, bloomers, pom poms, and socks are provided and are each cheerleader’s responsibility.
- · White tennis shoes or keds are the appropriate footwear required.
- · Long sleeve, white, turtleneck shirt to be worn under the vest is required.
- · No jewelry (rings, watches, bracelets, necklaces, earrings, etc.) may be worn.
This applies to practice as well as the games.
- · Skirt must be worn at the waist.
- · Hair should be pulled away from the face.
- · Uniforms may be worn to school on Fridays to show school spirit and promote SRA.
Sportsmanship
- · Positive attitudes are expected. This is for fun.
- · Be nice to each other and to both basketball teams playing. We are cheering for Summerfield, not
against anyone.
Side note
- · If an issue should arise talk to your coach first privately and then to the co-directors. Please
remember to set a good example for the children. They are watching all of us all the time.
- · The co-directors have the discretion to remove any cheerleader from their squad for inappropriate
behavior.
