ALL STAR, PREP & SHOW 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!)

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!
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 31 st, 2015): Show Ages 3-5(potty trained) Tiny Ages 6 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".

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 2 nd will be on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. This will start immediately on June 5 th 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 2015 summer (June 29 th July 5 th ) 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 Ruthie@all-starrevolution.com 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.

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.

Competitions: «The official All-Star Revolution competition schedule for the 2015-2016 season will be determined and sent out no later than July 31, 2015. «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 teased high ponytail 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. «All athletes must attend ALL awards ceremonies pertaining to their team. «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!)
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 2015-2016 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 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 evening before an 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 prep teams and all star teams will attend camp in the ASR facility during the summer to learn routines. This is mandatory for all athletes. «All star teams will have a 4-day camp and prep teams will have a 2-day camp. «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, 2015.
