Mustang Cheerleader Discipline & Demerits A. PRACTICES/GAMES. Attendance at all practices and games is mandatory. Cheerleading is a team commitment and all Mustang Cheerleaders are expected to be at every practice and every game. Practice time is when new cheers, chants, dance routines, hand motions, jumps, stunts are learned and friendships are formed. Information is also passed out during practices. If you must miss a practice, please inform Coach Malone or Coach Shack in person, by phone, or e-‐mail before practice or the game starts. You must have a signed note from your parent, doctor or teacher in order for your absence to be considered excused.

If a cheerleader accumulates three (3) or more demerits in one week then they will not be allowed to cheer at the next game or event. Any cheerleader sent to the BMC will be suspended from cheer activities for one (1) week. Any cheerleader who receives a referral from any school or staff member will be suspended for one (1) week.
