Crestview High School Cheerleading By-Laws
I. PURPOSE
• To create spirit, pride and loyalty, to promote interest in school activities, to develop a sense of good
sportsmanship, to improve relations among schools during athletic events, to develop responsibility, teach
self-respect, encourage honesty, strive for perfection, and develop character, and to teach teamwork and
pride in a quality performance while maintaining high standards.
II. ELIGIBILITY
• Being under a behavior contract will make an individual ineligible to try out for the CHS Cheer team.
• Cheerleaders must pass ALL classes and maintain an overall GPA of 2.0 or higher.
• While a failing grade may not affect eligibility, it might require disciplinary actions.
• No outstanding fees or fines due to Crestview High School
• Proof of Insurance
• Physical Exam paperwork
III. MEMBERSHIP
• The Varsity squad shall be composed of the top scoring students selected during tryouts. The varsity
squad will include up to 16 members and the JV squad will include up to 12 members.
• Members will tryout each year regardless of years on previous CHS teams.
IV. ATTENDANCE
• We do not want there to be an absenteeism problem with the Crestview High School cheerleaders.
• In order to cheer at a game, the cheerleader must be present at school for at least one-half of the school
day on the day of a game per Okaloosa District School Board Policy.
• A cheerleader cannot attend practices when absent from school unless preapproved by the sponsor. An
unexcused absence from school means an unexcused absence from practice as well. All excuses must be
brought to the sponsor upon return to school/practice.
o Members must bring a note from home/doctor explaining the absence. A doctor’s excuse, a
death in the family, or personal extenuating circumstances will be the only acceptable excuses.
This is left to the discretion of the sponsor.
o Members who are absent the day of a game or any other mandatory cheerleader activity must
have a doctor’s excuse.
• Members are expected to attend the summer camp. Vacation and job responsibilities are not acceptable
excuses for not attending camp as dates will be given in advance allowing you to make proper
arrangements for attendance. Any member not attending camp will be immediately dismissed from the
squad and any deposit fees will not be returned. Exact camp dates will be announced after tryouts.
• Employment or employment interviews are not acceptable excuses for missing practice or leaving practice
early. There will be no exceptions to this policy even if practice runs later than the expected time for
dismissal. Failure to comply with this rule can result in dismissal from the squad. It is EXTREMELY difficult
to conduct a practice successfully when all members are not present to practice a routine, stunt, or dance.
• When you agree to become a Crestview High School cheerleader, you must put the needs and priorities of
the squad above your personal wants. If you are not prepared to agree to this stipulation, DO NOT
TRYOUT FOR THE CHEERLEADING SQUAD.• Cheerleaders may participate in other extracurricular activities BUT must understand that there may be
some conflicts between the two. Cheerleaders and their parents must also expect financial obligations for
both activities and those must be met in order to participate in either sport. We expect 100% commitment
from each member. If a cheerleader chooses to miss practice or to leave early in order to participate in
other activities, demerits will be given accordingly. If this behavior becomes frequent, then the sponsors
reserve the right to dismiss the cheerleader from the squad. The sponsors will discuss scheduling of
practices with the respected coaches of dual sports.
• Cheerleaders will be allowed to participate in Homecoming court, but they must participate in all other
homecoming activities involving the cheerleading squad and practices.
• After-school detentions and individual make-up assignments given by individual teachers are not
acceptable excuses for arriving late for practice. This will result in demerits being assigned.
• If any cheerleader misses a practice that is vital to the upcoming performance(s), then she may be pulled
from that performance under coach’s discretion.
V. CAPTAINS
• The Crestview High Varsity Cheerleading squad will be supervised by a sponsor(s) with the assistance of
1 captain and 1-2 co-captains. Captain selection will be carried out by the cheerleading sponsor(s)/admin.
• The Crestview High School Cheerleading squad will be supervised and directed by a sponsor(s) at all
times.
• If captains are selected, the following criteria would be a portion of the selection process:
o Clean discipline record and must maintain “good standing” status.
o Leadership, responsibility, cooperation, and enthusiasm previously shown during
practices/events.
• The main responsibility of captains would be to call cheers/chants at games/events. Other minor
responsibilities could be assigned by the sponsor(s).
• Captains will serve at the discretion of the coach. Unacceptable actions that do not display proper Captain
etiquette will be cause for being relieved as a Captain.
VI. COACH’S DUTIES
• The coach will handle all administration, finances, school rule enforcement, and overall squad
organization.
• The coach (or appropriate substitute) will attend all practices, games, and performances.
• The coach will be the contact for teachers and cheerleading parents. (includes parent questions, concerns,
and squad absences).
• The coach will handle and maintain all records regarding demerits and discipline.
• Coach will issue uniforms, equipment, and purchase supplies.
• Cheerleaders experiencing problems should talk with the sponsor and work with them in finding suitable
solutions at the appropriate times.
• Any questions or problems concerning the squad should be directed to the sponsor(s) during school hours.
The sponsor(s) will return phone calls and/or emails at their earliest opportunity, but not more than 24-
hours from contact. Issues should not be addressed during practices, games, or other school events. The
sponsor(s) need to fully supervise the squad while at these events.
• There is a proper chain of command, starting with the sponsor, assistant principal, principal, and
finally school board. In fairness to all parties involved, please follow the chain of command.
• Teaching duties of the coach/sponsor take precedence over cheerleading responsibilities.VII. CONDUCT • Cheerleaders shall conduct themselves in an appropriate respectful manner at ALL times remembering they are representatives of Crestview High School. • Cheerleaders will NOT display bad habits such as smoking, alcohol consumption, use of illicit substances, or the use of improper or inappropriate language / conduct (IN OR OUT OF THE CRESTVIEW HIGH UNIFORM / SCHOOL PROPERTY). These actions may warrant dismissal from the squad. Improper language or conduct will also include, but not limited to, any texting, online webpages, or social networking such as Facebook or any other internet site(s). • Any continuous reports of misconduct or disrespect involving teachers or students after selection may result in dismissal from the squad. This decision is left to the discretion of the sponsor. Classroom conduct should set the example for all students to follow. • Each cheerleader shall attend all games and functions unless the sponsor, prior to the scheduled event, excuses it. This includes illness and other extenuating circumstances. The decision is left to the discretion of the sponsor. Every effort of the squad member must be made to attend all events. • Any decisions concerning cheerleader activities shall be determined by the sponsors and school administration. • Serious disrespect directed towards the sponsor(s) or any other squad member will result in immediate dismissal from the squad. The sponsor reserves the right to determine which circumstances that may include. • All cheerleaders must have a CURRENT phone number/email address on file with the sponsor(s). • Each cheerleader is responsible for checking emails/App as updated information including practice times, notes, reminders, and events may be sent out daily. It is necessary to check your email/App the night before a game/event to receive important messages from the sponsor(s). If a message (text, email/App, phone voicemail) is sent out and the cheerleader does not attend, come properly dressed, or whatever the message is pertaining to then the cheerleader WILL be given demerits for the action described. • Each cheerleader MUST have a binder or folder (one will be provided to each cheerleader). This is to hold all information that is necessary for events throughout the year. • Each cheerleader must have all required forms with CURRENT information on file with the sponsors prior to tryouts. Please be sure to update any information as needed during the school year. • Any and all stunting must be supervised by a sponsor at all times. • Any cheerleader in violation of this constitution is subject to conferencing, benching, or dismissal. • You are a Crestview High School cheerleader AT ALL TIMES and are responsible for acting on behalf of the school. VIII. DISCIPLINE AND DEMERITS • Demerits are assigned as part of the disciplinary process. They shall be administered for violation of squad and / or school rules. The demerit system shall be strictly enforced. The demerit system begins immediately following selection and will be recorded and determined by the sponsors. • There will be a demerit sheet kept for each cheerleader that will include the dates, reasons, and how many demerits issued for each infraction. Each cheerleader will sign off on the sheet when they receive a demerit. • There will be situations that arise that are not covered by the By-Laws. These cases will be handled with the discretion of the sponsors in cooperation with the athletic director and school administration. • The following action will take place for demerit accumulation with notification to parents and to the member by the sponsors. It is the MEMBER’S responsibility to check with the sponsor after practice on demerit standing.
• Out of school suspension will result in immediate dismissal from the squad. There will be NO exceptions.
In-school suspension could result in dismissal from the squad or 10 demerits (depending on severity and a
discussion between the sponsor and the athletic director/administration).
• During a suspension timeframe, any behavior by the student that results in disciplinary action by a teacher,
sponsor, or administrator will result in dismissal from the squad. This action supersedes our demerit
system and will be under the discretion of the sponsor/admin.
• If a cheerleader is suspended for ANY reason, then he/she will still be required to dress in appropriate
outfit and attend all cheer practices, games, performances, or events and be benched.
• Also, if a student quits the team or is dismissed from the team, he/she will not be eligible to try out the
following year. Demerits start on the day after tryouts and ends on the day before tryouts the following
year. Demerits may be worked off with community service hours pre-approved by the coach or admin.
Cheerleaders will be asked to sign a demerit acknowledgement form. Demerits are given by the coach and
are not negotiable. If a cheerleader is removed from the team, he/she will not be allowed to tryout the
following year. These may be discussed on a case by case basis with coach & administrator.
A. Demerit Log
No cheerleader is permitted more than 20 demerits per school year. After 10 demerits are earned, then a
parent conference will be requested. Once 20 demerits have been reached, permanent
suspension/removal from the cheer squad will take place. The coach/sponsor or administration will be the
only individuals to give demerits. A list of demerits is listed below. However, this list is NOT inclusive.

IX. FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITIES
• All cheerleaders must make their first initial payment of $250.00 at the first parent meeting. Parents will
receive a monthly account statement at the beginning of each month starting in June. Payments are due
by the 1st of each month. If a cheerleader is removed from the team, all financial responsibilities incurred
will remain. This includes deposits and total balances if amounts are non- refundable. Cheerleaders who
fall more than 1 month behind on payments may be suspended from the squad until dues are made
current. Cheerleaders who do not pay their accounts in full will not be allowed to try out
the following year, and will have a hold placed on their school account.
• Fundraising will begin immediately following Tryouts. While the funds raised from these activities will
cover a portion of the expenses, the estimated out of pocket expense could still range from $1500.00-
$1700.00.
• Cheerleading can be time consuming and expensive. The cheerleader’s parents must pay for all practice
uniforms, the upkeep and laundering of the cheerleading uniforms, and all necessary supplies related to
cheerleading.
o NOTE: If, for any reason, you lose or damage a uniform, you will be responsible for the
replacement cost.
• If a payment becomes more than one month behind, the cheerleader will be benched until the account is
current or payment arrangements have been made. If, for serious reasons, you can’t meet the financial
responsibilities of cheerleading, we will make every effort to help find solutions. A monthly installment
breakdown will be included in the try-out packet. The first payment must be paid at the parent
meeting. This payment will cover the camp fee. Additional payments will be made on a monthly
basis due on the 5th of each month starting in June until the cheerleader’s bill has reached a
balance of $0. All cheer bills must be paid in full by January.
• Other expenses will arise during the year for which the cheerleader will be responsible, such as meals
before/after games.
• If you owe fees at the end of the year for any reason, you will not be allowed to tryout again until they are
paid.
• If a student is dismissed or resigns from the squad, ALL financial obligations must be met. NO REFUNDS
will be given.
X. FUNDRAISING
• All members are expected to participate equally in all fundraising activities. All members must meet a
minimum quota that is determined by the sponsor at the start of the fundraiser. Failure to participate will
result in having to pay out of pocket for monies not raised.
• The sponsor will serve as the facilitator for the fundraiser events.• Parental support and volunteers are necessary for ALL fundraisers in order to be successful.
• There will be a summer cheer camp, t-shirt sales, a cheer clinic, as well as any other event scheduled
during the year. There will also be opportunities to fundraise for all of your individual expenses.
HOWEVER, if a certain individual raises a surplus and has met her total obligation, she will not be
credited. That money will be deposited into the general operating account. ALL general account
fundraisers are mandatory, unless there is an excuse/extenuating circumstance. The more money that is
generated from the fundraisers, means less out of pocket expenses.
• A $50.00 fee per fundraiser may be paid to opt out of a fundraiser if you are unable to participate.
Cheerleaders who do not fully participate in mandatory fundraisers for the general account, and do not opt
out, will receive demerits.
• Fundraising for personal cheerleader accounts is optional. Cheerleaders may opt out of any of these
fundraising projects without penalty. Money earned is applied to individual accounts to help alleviate out of
pocket expenses.
XI. GRADES
• A GPA of 2.0 cumulative and non-cumulative must be maintained through the entire cheer season. Any
member whose GPA falls below 2.0 will be temporarily suspended from the team until their grades can be
improved or completely dismissed from The team for failure to maintain or improve their grades. The
student will be required to attend events in full uniform and sit with the coach even if they have been
temporarily suspended from the cheer squad due to non-compliance of grades. If a student is maintaining
a 2.0 GPA, but makes a D or F on his/her report card, he/she will sit with coach in full uniform until the
grade rises. If the student makes two or more F’s on his/her report card, he/she will be dismissed from the
CHS Cheerleading Team. Any cheerleader with a GPA below 2.5 during the season will attend mandatory
tutoring provided by the school.
XII. PRACTICES, GAMES AND SUMMER CAMP
• Cheerleaders are expected to attend ALL scheduled practices and games. There will be at least one day
each week when there is no after school practice. Please reserve the designated “off day” as the time to
schedule Medical/Dental appointments or college classes. If a member misses the practice before an
event, then that member will not be allowed to perform at the event. Based on the reason for absence,
demerits will be given. If you are not contagious or you do not have a serious illness/injury that requires
bed rest, you are still expected to attend (watch) practice. If the school board cancels school due to
unforeseen circumstances, practice will not be held.
o You must be in attendance for ½ of the school day in order to practice or cheer at games.
o If you are unable to attend a practice or game, you MUST notify the coach or it will be considered
an unexcused absence.
o Cheerleaders must be picked up within 15 minutes after said practice or game is over or demerits
will be documented.
o Unexcused absences the day before a game will result in not being able to cheer for that game
but must be present in uniform.
o If the cheerleader is involved in another activity that conflicts with the practice schedule/game
schedule, you must split your time evenly.
o Cheerleaders may not practice or cheer at games if they are absent from school.

Practice will typically last 2-3 hours.
• The squad will practice various days of the week. Each cheerleader will be given a schedule of days,
times, and locations. Each cheerleader is expected to be prompt and ready for the event. Practice days
may vary from the schedule due to scheduling conflict, games, etc.
• A cheerleader should arrive performance ready at the designated time.
o Camp and Summer Practice: Summer Camp attendance at the expense of the cheer squad
member is required and must be paid in full prior to participation. Because the majority of cheer,
chant and dance routines for the year are taught at camp, failure to attend summer camp can result
in the cheerleader being removed from the formation or stunt. Summer practice is required and
cheer squad members will receive demerits for missed practice days. All cheerleaders are required
to be at summer practices and workouts. Attendance at these practices is vital for our teams to be
prepared.
• Varsity will cheer for:
o Football
o All home games (usually a Friday night) and possibly away play-off games.
o Basketball
o All home games and possibly away play-off games.
• The squad will be given a calendar of events in ample time to prepare. Because of the hectic basketball
schedule, there could be some circumstances in which the squad may be split up into two teams and
cheer for different games. Currently, all Varsity cheerleaders will attend all home games and will possibly
travel to all District and Okaloosa County (non-district) girls and boys JV and V basketball games.
Transportation to and from home games, events in Crestview High, and practices are the responsibility of
the cheerleader/parent.

something as minor as wearing or not wearing a jacket. The cheerleader will be asked to sit out until he or
