Attendance is crucial to the success of any team. Therefore, each practice in which we do not have a full team significantly puts the team at a disadvantage Especially during the competitive part of the season.
Summer Absences (June-August)
All athletes will get 4 excused summer absences to use at their discretion
Competitive Months (September-April)
Novice & Prep Athletes: 5 Unexcused absences will be allowed
Elite Athletes: 3 unexcused absences will be allowed
We encourage all athletes to take time off to spend with family and friends! However, All Star Cheerleading is a team sport and athlete attendance is crucial to team success. Therefore, it is imperative for all teams to have full team practices. All absences must be approved by the Team’s contact.
