Approval will only be granted where: (a) A minimum of two weeks’ notice is given; and (b) You have found a replacement coach. 1.4 The Frowned Upon List: No to Crossovers – we discourage the use of crossovers as experience shows we can burn out cheerleaders and they end up leaving. Use of crossovers also makes co-ordinating and running competitions to time very difficult. If you absolutely must cross-over cheerleaders for injury or other reasons you must have prior approval from the Programme Director. No to Moving Athletes Mid-season – we try to limit team movements, cheerleaders should stay in teams for a full year regardless of what new skills they get. Exceptions to this are where you have an injury, or a cheerleader leaves and it is too close to competition to rework the routine etc, again any mid-season movement must be approved by the Programme Director. No Team or Group Communications without Prior Approval – all communication is done centrally through head office. If you need a team or group email sent out please send it to the General Manager for pre-approval.4 8

The Christchurch earthquakes and 2011 Albany Tornado are examples of how natural disasters can and do happen at any time.

Tips for transitioning cheerleaders to a new team• Prepare existing team members for the arrival of new cheerleaders by talking to them about try outs/team movements. Remember to make it clear that every cheerleader selected for a particular team is there for a reason and because you believe they are good enough to be there. Encourage existing team members to be welcoming to new team members. You may like to offer incentives to encourage good spirit such as conditioning passes, taking home a spirit stick or toy, giving out stickers or lollies.• Encourage parents and cheerleaders to come to either yourself or head office with any questions regarding try outs. DO NOT allow parents or cheerleaders to discuss or compare other cheerleaders or team placements.• After try outs be sure to arrange team bonding activities to help the new team gel, this is important for developing a strong unified team.Couple of other tips to consider when making upteams:• We do NOT skip cheerleaders levels• In senior age or open age teams, cheerleaders should be 12yrs or older 15 19
