Cheerleaders should arrive for the game dressed in full uniform. Clean uniforms, shoes, socks, briefs and bows should be worn.

• Cheerleaders should have breakfast or lunch before they arrive at the field. Eating at the last minute will cause illness or stomach cramps.
• Remember hydration begins at home. Make sure to drink plenty of water the day before game day.
• Games are scheduled on Saturdays and are mandatory. There will be home and away games. Regular season games may be played anywhere in the Mid-Florida area and will require travel. If games are cancelled, make-up games may be scheduled on weeknights. Generally, games start near the end of August and go through October. If a football team ‘advances’ to the playoffs, the cheerleading squad may possibly cheer at ALL of the playoff games. Football playoffs may go into the first week of December. Any more than 2 absences from games, will result in dismissal from competition squad.
• Be sure to have your cheerleader at the field at the time designated by your coach. (Note: as coaches we cannot control delay in games, games starting early, field accommodations and parking at visiting fields.)
• Good sportsmanship and manners are required at all times for cheerleaders, coaches and parents. The opposing teams should be treated with respect at all times.
• No smoking or alcoholic beverages on the field or visiting areas at any time.
• Parents, it is great if you learn some of the words to the cheers. Crowd involvement at the games really gets the football teams and cheerleaders excited. Parents may choose to make signs or noisemakers for the games.
• Cheerleaders will be given water breaks during the game supervised by cheer coaches
• At the end of each game, cheerleaders should remain with their coach until they are dismissed. This gives the coach an opportunity to pass out memos, or instructions regarding upcoming practices/games.

Important note: Saturday games are held during the day in the HEAT. Children need to be aware that it is very hot during these games and if they are uncomfortable with outdoor sports, cheerleading may not be the sport for them. We stress the importance of hydration, it begins at home. Make sure to drink plenty of water the day before game day.

• Complete Uniforms shall be worn at all Toho Jr. Tigers sponsored events during the season.
• Uniforms (including shoes and socks) shall always be clean and in good condition.
• Cheerleaders are required to wear approved cheerleading sneakers as part of their uniform to all games and competitions. Shoes from previous years may be used as practice shoes only.
• Uniforms, and crop tops will be returned at the end of the season. Parents will be financially responsible for the replacement costs of uniforms not returned, lost or damaged in any way. A uniform agreement will be signed at uniform hand out.
• Failure to return uniform items or refusal to pay the replacement costs by the specified date will result in the cheerleader being ineligible to participate the following year.
• Any cheerleader who decides to leave the program will be required to return their complete uniform immediately.
