Personal Cheerleading Contract
I have read the Byrnes High School Cheerleading Handbook and understand the
responsibilities and privileges of being a Byrnes Cheerleader. I will abide by these rules and
regulations if chosen for the 2017-2018 cheerleading squad. I understand that if I do not
follow the rules, I will receive the outlined consequences and may be placed on probation,
suspended and/or removed from the cheerleading squad.
I will cooperate fully with the coaches and all persons and organizations concerned with
promoting spirit and good sportsmanship at Byrnes High School.
At all times, whether at school or away from school, I will conduct myself in a manner
that best represents the students and faculty at Byrnes High School.

Parent Permission
My child, _______________________________________ has my permission to try
out for the cheerleading squad at Byrnes High School for the 2017-2018 school year. If
chosen, he/she has permission to participate as a member of the cheerleading squad.
I have read and discussed with my child the guidelines, and I understand the
responsibilities and commitments of being a Byrnes cheerleader. I also understand the role I
must assume as the parent of a Byrnes cheerleader. I agree to make all payments according
to the payment plan in order for my child to remain in good standing on the team and
participate. Anyone with an unpaid balance will not be able to tryout the following season and
will have a fee noted on their account. Transportation to and from practices/games/workouts
are my responsibility and I will arrange rides, as the coaches will not. Cheerleaders need to
be picked up promptly after practices and games with no more than a 15 minute delay.
Everyone’s time is valuable therefore consequences, including demerits will be issued.
I do hereby give my consent and support for my child, if selected, to be a cheerleader
at Byrnes High School for the upcoming season.
