2014-2015

COMPETITION TEAM TRYOUT INFO The tryout process is very brief and laid back. We want all cheerleaders to feel comfortable so we do our very best to put them at ease as we get to know their goals for the upcoming season. Each athlete will sign up for an individual evaluation time on one of our designated tryout dates. Athletes should arrive at least 15 minutes prior to his/her scheduled time slot to check-in, warm-up and stretch. When the athlete’s name is called he/she will be asked to perform jumps, running tumbling, standing tumbling, flexibility and body positions if applicable. The tryout will conclude with a short interview. Each athlete should attend tryouts with hair pulled up in a ponytail, wearing shorts or hot pants, lightweight tennis shoes and a t-shirt, sports bra or tank top (and a bow doesn’t hurt!)

To register and sign up for tryout time, each athlete must: 1.  Turn in the 2014-2015 All-Star Registration Form, the Program Rules and Regulations Form and the Credit Card Authorization Form

included at the end of this packet. NO ATHLETE WILL BE ABLE TO REGISTER WITHOUT A VALID CC FORM ON FILE.

2.  Turn in a copy of the athlete’s birth certificate (new members). 3.  Turn in the IEP form at the end of this packet. 4.  Submit the non-refundable $55.00 per athlete registration fee and May 2014 tuition payment of $140. 5.  Request a tryout time slot on one of the days below either upon registration in person or by emailing ALL completed forms and fees

to [email protected]. Your tryout time slot will be confirmed via email. *New forms are required every season, so even returning members must turn in all of the above listed paperwork to register for the 2014-2015 season.

NO ATHLETE WILL BE ALLOWED TO REGISTER WITH A BALANCE. All fees must be paid in full to register for a tryout time. Accounts with a balance will not be allowed to register and/or tryout until the

account is clear – regardless of payment arrangements. No exceptions.

CURRENT ASR MEMBERS WITH DELINQUENT ACCOUNT HISTORY ARE REQUIRED TO PAY $3,000 PER ATHLETE UP FRONT TO REGISTER FOR A TRYOUT.

2014-2015 Tryouts will be held on the following dates: Sunday, April 6th 12:00pm – 6:00pm Friday, April 18th 3:30pm – 8:00pm Saturday, April 19th 8:00am – 7:00pm

Walk-ins are welcome at tryouts, but please understand that there could be a longer wait without an appointed tryout time. If you have a conflict on the tryout weekend and cannot schedule a time that works for you, a make-up tryout can be scheduled for an additional $25 fee by emailing [email protected].

Tryout Results: Team placement results (including practice day and time) will be posted to www.All-StarRevolution.com on Thursday, May 1st by 5 PM. Results/Teams will also be emailed to the emails provided at registration. Practices for the new season will begin the week of May 5th. Registering with ASR and securing a tryout time DOES NOT necessarily guarantee an athlete a position on a competitive team. Athletes not placed on a team for the 2014-2015 season will be refunded any fees paid in advance EXCEPT the $55 registration fee.

OFFICE HOURS Our business office is open Monday – Thursday from 12-3pm. You can register in person anytime during those hours or by emailing [email protected]. The front desk (located in the navy parent viewing room) is open from 3-9pm Monday thru Thursday. You can drop off registration forms at the front desk, but you can only receive a tryout time by emailing [email protected]. There is also a drop box located in the navy parent viewing area where you can leave forms or payment anytime. If forms are turned in at the front desk or left in the drop box, you will be contacted via email to set up a tryout time.

SEASON MEET & GREET There will be a meeting for all ASR athletes and parents from 1-2pm on Saturday, May 3rd at the All-Star Revolution facility. We will answer any questions you have and let you know exactly what can be expected for the 2014-2015 season. We may have additional parent meetings throughout the season and will send out regular email correspondence to effectively communicate with our parents. Following the meeting, there will be a meet and greet from 2-4pm. Athletes, family and friends are invited to come meet coaches and teammates and celebrate the beginning of another successful season at ASR!

2014-2015

TEAM PLACEMENT Athletes are divided into teams based on two factors: age and skill level. Both factors are outlined below to give you a better understanding of all-star cheerleading team placement. Age Breakdown (as of August 31st, 2014): Tiny Ages 5 and younger Mini Ages 8 and younger Youth Ages 11 and younger Junior Ages 14 and younger Senior Ages 10-18 Worlds Teams Ages 12-18 *These age groups may be subject to change according to USASF updates.

Skill Level Breakdown: Athletes are evaluated based on their execution of tumbling, jumps and stunts. All are important and taken into consideration when putting together successful teams. Required skills are listed at each level for your benefit. All skills must be maintained to remain on any given level/team. ASR reserves the right to move an athlete from one team to another at any point in the season (up OR down) based on performance, ability, necessity or for any other reason.

Skills must be performed at a high level of execution to be considered for placement. This means ALL SKILLS must be performance ready. This is essential for teams to score in the highest ranges on the score sheet at competitions. For the best competitive experience, athletes should always be performing his/her highest level of MASTERED skills. For example, just because an athlete can land on her feet in a standing back at tryouts, does not mean she is a level 4 competitor. She should still be participating on a level 3 team until the skill can be performed in the middle of a routine with flawless technique. Specifically, legs must be completely straight with pointed toes when executing front and back walkovers. Legs must be straight and together in all back handsprings. All air borne skills must be executed with good height and direction (up not back). Layouts, fulls/doubles must be in a hollow body position with legs straight and together. All standing tumbling must "stick and stand".

*Above prices include tax and may be subject to change. Reminder emails will go out on a regular basis with details on fees and due dates.

STANDARD BILLING PROCEDURES • Fees will post to your ASR account on the 1st of the month in which it’s due. • All balances will be charged to the card on file on the 6th of each month. • If you prefer NOT to charge the card on file, you must bring in cash or check by the 5th of the month. *Checks payable to All-Star Revolution • All accounts are required to have a valid credit card on file at all times even if paying by cash or check monthly. • No account will be allowed to have fees roll over from month to month. • Athletes with a balance will not be allowed to participate in class until ALL fees are paid in full.

BREAKDOWN OF FEES Registration: The $55 per athlete non-refundable registration fee is due up front to hold your tryout reservation and process paperwork. No participants will be placed on an All-Star Revolution team or allowed to practice at ASR without having paid this fee each season. Returning members are required to pay this fee every April upon registration renewal. That fee is good for one cheer season, which goes from April 2014-April 2015. All athletes who participate with teams, schools, tumbling, privates, camps, etc. need to pay that fee annually every April or upon registration.

Monthly Tuition: Monthly tuition is $140 for all competitive team members. Families with multiple athletes will receive a 50% discount off any additional sibling’s tuition. The 50% tuition discount will be applied to the lesser value of tuition when applicable. Cousins, neighbors, etc. are NOT considered siblings. (All other fees will apply per athlete.) Withdrawal notice must be given to [email protected] and [email protected] by the 15th of any month to avoid being charged for the next month’s tuition.

USASF Membership: The United States All Star Federation (USASF) is currently the main governing presence in competitive all-star cheerleading. USASF requires that ALL athletes certify to be eligible to compete during the 2014-2015 season. All-Star Revolution will handle all the paperwork for the certification process including uploading each athlete’s birth certificate (to be submitted upon registration). The fee of $40 covers the registration fee and processing on our end.

Practice Wear: Athletes will be issued two full practice outfits. Practice wear changes every year, so this is required for new AND returning members. The fee for this apparel is $200 for female athletes and $125 for males.

2014-2015

ESTIMATED FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS Competitive all-star cheerleading requires a significant financial commitment. The following estimated costs are subject to change and while other expenses are not foreseen, they could arise. Absolutely no special financial arrangements will be made. Please carefully consider the financial responsibility required before committing to the season. To help families with the expense of all-star cheer, ASR can provide a sponsorship letter upon request for financial assistance from local businesses and/or friends and family.



2014-2015


Competition Backpack: All athletes are required to purchase a new backpack for 2014-2015. Backpacks are $100.

Choreography: All athletes are required to attend a mandatory choreography camp for his/her team. The $350 mandatory choreography fee includes the cost of choreography, instruction and music production. All members MUST pay this non-refundable fee, regardless of camp attendance, which would also include members who might join later in the season.

Competition Uniform: Levels 1-4 and Justice athletes will be getting all new uniforms for the 2014-2015 season! Freedom athletes will keep the uniform from last season, but female athletes will be required to purchase a new skirt for this year.

Competition Fees: Competition fees will not exceed $1,000 per athlete for the entire season and are NON-REFUNDABLE (even if the athlete quits, is removed or becomes injured.) Teams will attend 6 – 10 events per season. Competition fees include event registration for the season and an additional fee to cover staff expenses. The 2014-2015 ASR competition schedule will be determined based on school squad conflicts, event location, other competitors and various other factors to ensure a successful year for all teams. Once this schedule is set (no later than July 31st, 2014), the exact fee will be calculated and broken into three equal installments due in August, September and October 2014. *Please note that the above fees do not include travel and lodging for out of town events.

Competition Make-up: The entire program will get a fresh look in 2014-2015. Make-up kits are $100 and will be required for all female athletes.

Competition Warm-ups: New warm-up suits will be required for all athletes for the 2014-2015 season. It is important to note that warm-up and uniform pieces cannot be changed in any way…i.e. no added bling or embroidery is allowed.

Females: Warm-ups are $250. Males: Warm-ups are $200.

NON-COMPETITIVE OPTIONS We understand that not everyone wants the time commitment or the financial responsibility that comes with competitive all-star cheerleading, so we have included training classes and recreational teams for the 2014-2015 season that will keep your athlete active and learning the same skills as our competitive athletes. For registration and pricing details on the options below, please reference our Rec and Prep Information packet. No tryout is needed for any of our rec and prep classes.

All-Stars in Training: Athletes in this class will work to improve technique on jumps, motions, dance, tumbling and stunts. Training classes will be held once a week for two hours per class. Athletes ages 5 and up with level one and two skills are invited to participate. Show Team: For athletes ages 5 and under (must be fully potty trained) we offer a non-competitive show team. This team will practice once a week for an hour or an hour and a half and learn the same skills as a competitive cheer team on a more basic level. Athletes will perform at 3-5 local events. Prep Teams: NEW THIS SEASON! The season will run from August – January and teams will compete in 2-3 local events. These teams are designed to introduce competitive cheer to beginner athletes. Teams will practice once a week for 2 hours. Tumbling Class: Tumbling classes will be offered year-round for competitive athletes and/or non-competitive athletes. Classes are once a week for an hour and a half and will be split based on USASF levels (and ages when necessary). Stretch Class: Stretch classes will focus on flyer body positions and will be offered year-round to competitive athletes and/or non-competitive athletes. Classes will be offered three times a week for 45 minutes. Athletes will work learn stretches and drills to improve flexibility and be taught proper technique on all body positions. Stunt Class: Stunt class will focus on stunt technique for the flyers. Classes will be offered three times a week for an hour. Private Lessons: ASR offers private instruction for competitive and non-competitive athletes. All instructors provide private lessons as contract labor so you can contact them directly for pricing and scheduling details. Instructors have access to the ASR facility but cannot schedule private lessons that end after 10pm. Private lessons can be scheduled for tumbling, jumps, stunts, motion technique, dance, routine memorization, tryouts and more.

COMPETITIVE TEAM COMMITMENTS All-Star Revolution is an organized program. Competitive athletes are expected to attend all competitions and practices as a team. We realize that many children and/or young adults are involved in a variety of activities. However, we cannot make exceptions for schedule conflicts. We expect top priority and 100% commitment and attendance. ASR reserves the right to remove athletes from the program for failure to adhere to any of the below guidelines.

Practices and Absence Policy: ! Each team will have a 2-hour practice twice a week. One will be a weeknight and the 2nd will be on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. This will start immediately on May 5th so practicing twice a week is the minimum (even during the summer months). Extra practices could also be called on an as-needed basis. The two weekly practices and any extra practices are included in the $140 monthly tuition. Tuition does not increase for months where teams practice 10 times and does not decrease for months where teams may only practice 3 times. It is an average that will not be prorated or discounted for absences. ! The only excused absence is a mandatory school cheer function or a school function that results in a grade. All other absences are unexcused. Part-time jobs, dances, concerts, musicals, banquets, long distance driving, family reunions, weddings, recitals, school/church socials, and any other nonrelated school activities are unexcused. ! Absences are NOT allowed for any reason the weekend prior to a competition or the week of a competition. ! ASR will be closed for a week during the 2014 summer (June 30th – July 6th) to help prevent excessive summer absences. If possible, vacations should be scheduled during this time. ! Every athlete will be allowed to miss four practices (not counting the week we are closed). This is to accommodate summer dates that cannot be changed. CHOREOGRAPHY CAMP IS MANDATORY. ! If for any reason there is a need to miss a practice you must submit the Absence Request Form at least 2 weeks in advance and it will either be approved or denied via email by Edgar Ruiz. (Absence request form at back of packet or pick one up in the navy parent viewing area.) ! Forms left on a desk will not be valid – you must fax or email the form to [email protected] or drop it in the drop box in the navy parent viewing area. Faxed forms the day of a scheduled practice will not be accepted. This includes school cheerleading, gymnastics, choir, band, and all other school sports. Your school activities are planned well in advance. Please submit your request in advance. A completed form does not automatically excuse the absence. ! ALL absences must be approved by Edgar Ruiz, no other staff member has this authority. If an emergency arises the day of a practice, you will need to communicate directly with Edgar at 832-566-6290. Other staff cannot excuse athletes or pass along messages. ! We will verify with school administration and the teaching staff if we think that someone is being dishonest with an absence request. Be prepared to show documentation from a teacher or instructor. You will be removed immediately if the request is falsified. No absences are permitted the week of an event. The greater the team’s attendance, the less extra practices will be needed. ! You must attend all practices, even when you are not feeling 100%. If you are ill enough to go see a doctor then you will be excused but a doctor’s note must be provided. Students will be removed from our program for failing to follow this rule. Extended sickness such as mono or strep throat could jeopardize an athlete’s position on the team. ! If an athlete is injured, please notify ASR staff immediately. ASR staff reserves the right to replace an injured individual for some or all of the remaining events. ! All-Star Revolution practice wear must be worn to all practices. The schedule of practice wear will be posted on the calendar page of www.All-StarRevolution.com. If an athlete is missing any practice wear pieces at practice, a replacement item will be provided and charged to your ASR account…this includes the bow. Athletes represent his/her team at all times – it is imperative to be disciplined. ! No jewelry can be worn in the gym at any time. ! No gum or food or drink in the gym EVER. ! Any tattoos must be covered at all times. ! We are here to work so please turn your cell phones off. ASR is not responsible for lost or stolen items so please use discretion when bringing valuables to the gym. ! There is a lost and found box located in the RED GYM (location subject to change). Any items left over 14 days will be donated. ! You must arrive to practice on time. Five minutes early is better than five minutes late! ! If you are not working on a skill and you arrive early to practice, please stay off the equipment, sit/stretch quietly and wait for your practice to start so as not to disturb other athletes in the gym. Please stress to your athlete that our trampolines are not made sit on or play on for long periods of time. They are strictly made for tumbling training for one athlete at a time with coach supervision ONLY. ! If you are not an All-Star Revolution athlete or staff member, do not enter the gym area at any time. Parents are NEVER allowed to spot an athlete at the ASR facility or at an ASR event. ! Parents (including team moms) should NEVER coach a team, call extra practices or provide any kind of cheer instruction for athletes. ! No unsupervised tumbling! An instructor must be present at all times. ! ASR reserves the right to close practices to parents or any other spectators. ! Please try and stay healthy both in and out of the gym to help prevent any injuries from occurring. We encourage athletes to eat healthy, stay active and get plenty of rest. ! Every athlete must be respectful to teammates, staff and parents at all times.

WORLDS TEAM ATHLETES WILL HAVE MANY EXTRA PRACTICES THROUGHOUT THE YEAR AND THIS INCLUDES GYM CLOSURES. -Edgar will not be working around your schedule this year AT ALL. -If you are not all in then DO NOT try out for this position.

Competitions: ! The official All-Star Revolution competition schedule for the 2014-2015 season will be determined and sent out no later than July 31, 2014. ! ALL COMPETITIONS ARE MANDATORY FOR EVERY ATHLETE. This means you must show up even if you’re sick. No exceptions. Adjustments can be made if necessary to the routine at the event if athletes are unable to perform certain skills, but he/she must be present. ! Every athlete must not only attend every competition, but they must be available the entire week/weekend of the event and the entire week/weekend leading up to the event - no exceptions. Failure to do so will result in permanent removal from the ASR program. ! Athletes should be prepared to practice the entire weekend prior to and the week leading up to any event/competition, even if practices are scheduled last minute. Please be aware that once the competitions start, it WILL be very time consuming. ! Upon arriving at competition, every athlete must be in full uniform from head to toe. This means a clean uniform top and bottom, ASR warm-ups, hair out of face and secured in a high ponytail with a bump and a bow, full make-up and lashes, no show white socks, clean white cheer shoes and no jewelry, nail polish, or gum. No cell phones tucked into skirts. Appropriate undergarments should be worn at all times so as not to distract from the uniform design (i.e. no hot pink bras.) Athletes will remain in uniform the entire time he/she is at an event – even after performing. ! For awards athletes should look “performance ready” – meaning no backpacks, no cell phones, no warm-ups and no t-shirts. Athletes should still be in full hair and make-up and look as if as if they are about to take the floor to compete. ! Remember that you are representing All-Star Revolution at all times. Please represent us, and yourself, well. ! Athletes should have great sportsmanship, regardless of whether we win or lose. This includes respect for athletes, parents, coaches AND toward other programs. We want to be perceived as a class act program so please act accordingly. ! Athletes and parents should NEVER post something on social media that can be perceived as negative toward another athlete or team or program or coach, etc. ! We expect for every athlete to watch and cheer for other All-Star Revolution teams. This may mean you may have to arrive earlier or leave later than required for your own performances/awards. Poor sportsmanship by athletes or parents may cause removal from the program. ! At competitions the main priority of a coach is to safely prepare the athletes for their performances. After that, our next priority is to support our teams as they perform. Depending on the schedule, this means that all of our team’s coaches may not be able to stand with a team as their awards are handed out, or, in rare cases (at events with multiple venues) during a performance. We will do anything we can to get as many of the coaches there, but sometimes it is just not possible. ! Some competitions may require us to compete on a Friday and/or may require your athlete to miss a part/full day of school. When selecting competitions for our program, this is one of the first things we take into consideration. We will strive to keep our athletes from missing as much school as possible, but sometimes it is inevitable. ! ASR has a reputation of very enthusiastic fans at competition and we would like to keep it that way! It is important for our parents to be loud and supportive for ALL of our ASR teams. In fact, it should sound like you are at a play-off game cheering on your favorite sports team. (Face paint optional!)


2014-2015

Hotel Accommodations: ! Most out-of-town competitions now implement a “stay to play” policy, which requires all ASR athletes to book through a specific travel company. Failure to do so could result in our teams’ disqualification. After the 2014-2015 competition schedule is set, you will receive detailed instructions on booking hotels for “stay to play” events. ! For out-of-town events without the “stay to play” policy, ASR may choose to designate a team hotel. In an effort to prevent additional coach’s fees as well as secure hotel practice space for teams, all our athletes may be required to stay in the team hotel. ! We will select team hotels after we release our competition schedule so you are able to make reservations months in advance. This is a wonderful time for athletes and parents to get to know each other. ! Teams may be required to meet or practice at the team hotel any time throughout the weekend of an out-of town competition at the coach’s request. Athletes should be available the Friday before the event for practice and remain flexible in case other practices and/meetings need to be scheduled during a competition weekend. ! Feel free to find a roommate on your own to cut costs. Some families prefer to travel with siblings and spouses, which is also fine. Parents will be responsible for athletes in the hotel. ASR will not assist with finding roommates.

Choreography Camp: ! All teams will attend a 4-day camp in the ASR facility during the summer to learn routines. This is mandatory for all athletes. ! Each camp will run from 9AM-4PM with an hour lunch break from noon-1pm. ! For the safety of our athletes, they will not be allowed to leave the premises. Please be sure to pack a nutritious lunch. ! These choreography camps are closed to parent viewing. You may drop off lunch for your athlete at noon, but you will not be allowed to stay. This time is intended for athlete bonding. ! Dates for each team’s choreography camp will be released by June 1, 2014.

PROGRAM RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR ATHLETES AND PARENTS ! I will treat my teammates, staff and other parents with respect. I will treat and talk to others in the same manner I wish to be spoken to. ! I understand if I threaten to quit or pull my child from a squad/class, I may be dismissed from the program immediately and indefinitely. ! I understand that competitive athletes are required to wear the appropriate practice attire to every practice and if they do not, a replacement item will be issued at my expense. ! I understand the importance of punctuality and will arrive at all practices and scheduled events on time. ! I will not participate in negative gossip in any way.

I will not attempt to learn advanced tumbling skills before perfecting the basics. If parents and students do not have a clear understanding of our teaching methods, they should not be cheering at ASR. ! I understand that ONLY perfected skills will be choreographed into an ASR routine. ! I will not keep my child from practice or performing as a form of punishment. ! I will maintain good sportsmanship at all times when representing All-Star Revolution.

I will respect others and use it for the sole purpose of viewing my child. ! I understand that all communication with ASR staff should be between the PARENT and the coach – athletes should not communicate with coaches via text or email or social media. I understand that such interactions will jeopardize the coach’s position at ASR. ! I understand that parents should not collect or request money for ANYTHING without approval from Edgar Ruiz. Cheer is an expensive sport and excessive team gifts or get-togethers may add more financial pressure for participants. ASR teams may organize occasional parties, gifts and/or goodie bags ONLY with approval from ASR management. ! I understand that I am making a year round commitment and will honor that commitment. If I fail to honor this commitment, I understand that I may be asked to resign my position at ASR indefinitely. ! I understand that I am not to contact any competition companies or their officials with any questions or comments. If I have any questions I will contact Edgar Ruiz at 832-566-6290. ! I understand that uniforms are to be used only at competitions and should only be worn by All-Star Revolution athletes. I will take very good care of my uniform and will be responsible for replacing a damaged or dirty uniform piece. ! I understand that all routines and choreography including cheers, dances, stunts, transitions, and tumbling should be highly protected and should not be shown or discussed with others. ASR choreography should never be copied or taught to anyone without consent from Edgar Ruiz. This also includes any and all portions of music. NO VIDEOS of routines, practices, competitions or any choreography should be uploaded to any online site such as YOUTUBE or other forms of social media! ! I will not make or try to sell any All-Star Revolution items. Use of All-Star Revolution logo or any part of the logo is strictly prohibited. I understand that any violation to this agreement will result in legal action and indefinite removal from ASR. ! I understand that solicitation on ASR premises is not permitted. I will not try to promote my personal business or interests while at the ASR facility or at an ASR function. Furthermore, I will not use ASR contacts or email addresses to promote my personal interests and/or business. ! I will not hold ASR responsible for any lost or stolen items since it is not possible to monitor all valuables brought into the facility. There is a lost and found box located in the RED GYM (location subject to change); however, I understand that any items left over 14 days will be donated. ! I understand that if I plan to drop from any ASR class and/or team, I must give withdrawal notice to [email protected] and [email protected] by the 15th of any month to avoid being charged for the next month’s tuition. ! I understand that if I quit or am removed from the program/class or become injured at any point during the season, I will not get any form of refund.

I have read and understand the 2014-2015 information packet in its entirety and agree to abide by all guidelines set forth by All-Star Revolution. I understand that failure to adhere to any of these policies will result in removal from the program with no refund.
