ADDITIONAL CLASSES
In order to ensure the most comprehensive training and
appropriately leveled competitive teams Oregon Dream
Teams requires that some athletes take additional
classes. The cost of these additional classes will be the
responsibility of the athlete’s family but will be assessed
at the discounted rate for Oregon Dream Teams’ team
members.
1. If the athlete is not meeting the medium range
requirements for tumbling in accordance with the
ODT Rubric, the athlete will be required to enroll in
either one tumbling class per week or two monthly
privates through Amilia.
2. If the athlete is a flyer and is unable to perform the
stunting/flexibility skills within the teams’
choreography, the athlete will be required to enroll
in either one flying/flexibility class per week or two
monthly privates with a stunting coach through
Amilia.
All flyers are required to attend one weekly flexibility
class at no additional cost to the athlete for the duration
of the season.
ATHLETE/PARENT HANDBOOK
There is a comprehensive Athlete/Parent Handbook
that is available at the open house, parent bootcamps,
online, and at the front desk year round. This
handbook contains all of the Oregon Dream Teams
rules and guidelines for both the athletes and parents
that participate on any team at Oregon Dream Teams.
It is integral that each family familiarize themselves with
these guidelines as to avoid any issues throughout the
season.
PARENT POLICIES
COMMUNICATION
As a parent, you will receive information in several ways. Each week
we send quick weekly emails. In addition there will be a monthly
newsletter that is more in depth. Please make sure you are on ODT
Families, our gym Facebook page, and your teams’ Facebook group
as well!
FEES
• A schedule of payments will be handed out. All monthly payments
are set up in Amilia and come out automatically on the 1st of the
month. If you choose to make a payment and not have your
designated card charged, you must bring a check into the desk by
the 31st of each month. Please make all checks payable to
Oregon Dream Teams.

FUNDRAISING
Oregon Dream Teams offers the following:
• A new fundraiser every 5-6 weeks. These are individual
fundraisers and all credits will be credited directly to your
account. These fundraisers do involve extra work outside of
cheer but we have seen people pay for an entire season of
cheer! We strongly suggest you participate in fundraising.
• Any surplus in fundraising credits can be applied to Classes,
Teams and Merchandise.
• Refund checks can not be issued in the event of a surplus.
COMPETITION ETIQUETTE
• Your dedication and support is just as important to us and your
child.

Dream Teams’ teams at competitions. We also suggest you
show up wearing Oregon Dream Teams clothes to support the
