up any other meetings or such things as piano lessons on that particular day. Great care should be taken to keep grades up in order for you to meet at this time rather than attend tutoring. Punctuality is an absolute must for all meetings, practices, etc. Accepting responsibility for your actions is another. You must be willing to devote a great deal of time to cheerleading. You must realize that cheerleaders spend many hours practicing, painting signs, decorating, hanging signs, participating in money-making activities, traveling, etc. You must be willing to spend these hours on cheerleading activities before you decide to run. Only the sponsor(s)/principal will decide what activities the cheerleaders will participate in as a group. When someone approaches you with an idea for the cheerleading organization, refer them to the sponsor(s). Any activity that the cheerleader organization does not participate in as a group may be attended by you as an individual but not as a cheerleader SQUAD COMPOSITION Because we believe competitiveness is an important part of school life, the following rules governing squad composition have been instituted. Summer cheerleading camp will be attended by all members. Selection of camp will be approved by the sponsor(s) and principal. While at camp, each cheerleader must create and maintain a desire to learn. They must realize that camp means hard work and long hours. They must be willing to put forth the necessary effort required to learn with enthusiasm. Attendance at practice sessions for camp preparation will be required. TRYOUT INFORMATION AND REQUIREMENTS There will be a sign up sheet in the cheerleading sponsor(s) classroom or the front office. Cheerleader candidates will be required to pick up an application packet from the sponsor(s) at the parent meeting. This packet will include an Application for Cheerleader Tryouts, A letter of information to the parent and candidate, a Letter of Intent, and a copy of the Guymon Jr. High School Cheerleader Handbook. All forms must be signed and the entire packet returned to the sponsor(s) 1 week prior to the start of cheer clinics. Cheerleader candidates must attend all sessions of the tryout clinic unless they inform the sponsor(s) in advance of his/her absence from school that day due to illness. Clinics are worth 20% of their overall score. Any student who is involved in a school event after school hours should contact the cheerleader sponsor(s) to receive permission to miss practice. This permission will be given after a conference with the coach or sponsor of the school event.
