Competition Criteria |
Each year Sporting Dynamite enters various competitions, the main ones being the Community Nationals which normally take place during May and the National StreetCheer Championships which takes place in November. These dates can change and we may also enter other competitions as we see fit.
Entering competitions is not compulsory but is a valuable tool to improving and developing confidence and team spirit. Before considering a request for your child to go to competition parents need to consider the following:
The policy of Sporting Dynamite is try to give all Cheerleaders a chance to take part in competiton and to travel as a squad with as many members as possible attending. It must be understood however that this does not mean that all cheerleaders will dance on the day as final selection will depend on ability, commitment, understanding of the dance to the satisfaction of the coaches/committee and the behaviour of each child both running up to the event and on the day itself. Cheerleaders also need to understand that the club coaches and helpers require good behaviour from every child that attends. It is a long day and we simply don't have time for children that wish to mess around or ignore instruction. Sporting Dynamite make it quite clear that in the event of any child misbehaving, giving cheek, fighting, swearing, being rude, or generally ignoring instruction from any of the helpers, coaches or committee members, the child's parents will be informed and instructed to collect their child. If for any reason this is not possible the child will be returned to their parents and any costs incurred by Sporting Dynamite will be invoiced to the parents. It is up to every parent to decide whether they would like their child to go to competition. But ultimately it will be the decision of the coaches and the committee that dictates which children are in the final selection. |
