Expectations for Parents

The mission of the Chiles High School cheerleading program exists to provide a team of student athletes the avenue to be the “spirit leaders” for the entire school community. To enhance the ideals of good sportsmanship, honesty, loyalty, courage and respect for authority, so that they will be well-adjusted, healthy and trustworthy citizens. Cheerleading is a very public form of education. I also understand that I am a very important part of that educational process, too, therefore; I understand that I am a role model for both my child and the rest of the team.

I will support the value of these activities by offering encouragement and support to athletes, officials, and coaches.
I will be an active spectator and support our activities by modeling good sportsmanship at all times.
I will respect the officials and their authority during the game/competitions.
I will never question, discuss, or confront coaches at practices, games, performances or competition. Instead, I will set up a time and place to discuss concerns.
I will understand that commitment to a team means my athlete being at practices & games.
I understand that if my student does not come to practice, she/he will not participate in games/competitions/performances.
I understand that students missing practice for outside activities without notifying the coach and getting prior approval could risk being removed from the team.
If there is a problem with getting to practice or games, I will contact the coach ahead of time so they can plan accordingly.
I will teach my athlete time management in order for her/him to meet the commitments of both academics and the cheer program.
I will teach my cheerleader to play by the rules and to resolve conflict without resorting to hostility or violence.
I will insist that my cheerleader treat other players, coaches, officials and spectators with respect.
I will teach my athlete that doing one’s best is more important than winning, so that he/she will never feel defeated by the outcome of the game/performance.
I will adhere to financial obligations on time.
I understand and will follow the lines of communication.
I will accept the goals, roles and achievements of my cheerleader.

I have read, understand, and will abide by these expectations:
