Thank you so much for your interest in Bravo All-Stars Inc. As we prepare for our 19th

season, we are anticipating a very exciting and successful year. We want you to know

that we are dedicated to giving each cheerleader the ultimate cheerleading experience.

We look forward to getting to know each individual, help them set and achieve goals,

learn the value of commitment and teamwork, and ultimately see their dreams become a

reality.

We strive in giving your child all of the proper training that is involved in this SPORT.

The staff takes pride in their role in this program and commits to making this experience

a memorable one for your child. We are all trained and qualified in making all the

decisions that need to be made to run this program as smoothly as possible. We will

keep you updated on all schedules, as we know them.

We have prepared the following information to help each family understand the

commitment level that we expect. Please take the time to thoroughly read over the

packet in full. For you veteran families, you will notice some changes in policies and

procedures. For our new members, please take the time to read all of the materials. This

is not a “recreation” program. Bravo All-Stars Inc. is a competitive, cutting edge program

that has high expectations. We know that the level of commitment (time and financial) is

not for everyone, so please take the time to discuss the following information with your

child. If your child elects to participate in the all-star program, please continue to

encourage your child throughout the season and help your child stay focused on the

desired goal.

Our Goal is to provide you with as much cost breakdown as possible but please be aware

that all prices are estimated. It is very difficult to itemize the entire season so we have

provided a chart to assist you in the preperation of the season.

To off set some costs, fundraising may be available. We will assign team moms to

organize that once the season has started.

ABSENCE POLICY Every cheerleader is required to be at every practice, gymnastic class, camp,

choreography session and special event. Bravo All-Stars reserves the right to remove any

child from the program because of excessive excused absences as well. If your child is

involved in any other activities besides all-star cheerleading, please make sure they will

not have conflicts. From June-August when planning family vacations please plan in

conjunction with any of the above listed summer breaks. Please plan accordingly.

After September 1st, a student is allowed up to 3 unexcused absents. The ONLY

excused absence is a school function that results in a grade. All other absences are

unexcused. Part-time jobs, dances, concerts, banquets, long distance driving, family

reunions, weddings, recitals, and other non-related school activities are unexcused.

Absences are NOT allowed the weekend and week prior to a competition. An unexcused

absence may result in the athlete being moved to an alternate position or pulled from the

upcoming performance at the discretion of the staff. It is the responsibility of the

athletes to learn any changes prior to practices.

Please notify the gym 1-2 weeks in advance with any absences. Your school activities are

planned well in advance. Excessive absences will result in one or all of the following:

become an alternate, the inability to compete, and dismissal from the team. There are

always circumstances that present themselves, but remember you have made a

commitment to be part of this program and your decision not only affects you, but it

affects your team mates. No Exceptions!!

ADITIONAL INFORMATION FOR OUR SEASON Bravo All-Stars reserves the right on a need to basis add any additional items needed for

the team i.e. if a special event arises and certain items are needed to obtain the

appearance of our program. We try very hard to inform parents in this packet of all of

the needs for our season but there are occasions where something additional is

requested that are important to the program’s look. All prices are ESTIMATIONS and are

subject to change at any time during the season. Items needed for special occasions and

or special comps cannot be refused to purchase.

Bravo All-Stars name and logo are trademarks of Bravo All-Stars. You CANNOT make/sell

your own apparel or use Bravo All-Stars name or team names. You CAN NOT solicit any

We believe in perfection before progression. We will not allow athletes to learn

advanced tumbling skills before perfecting their basics. Only perfected skills will be

choreographed in our routines.

Athletes selected as flyers must maintain flexibility and skill requirements. Selected flyers

unable to meet the level requirements must learn to base as well.

Bravo All-Stars has the right to change a teams division and level at any time throughout

the year.

We believe that you entrust us with the proper placement of your child and we

understand that emotions run high when this process is underway. However, we will not

hold meetings to discuss placement of athlete nor change child’s placement because a

parent disagrees. We need to evaluate many aspects of a cheerleader and being higher

in tumbling does not always warrant an athlete to be on that level team. We will do

what’s best for the athlete, the team, and the program. Bravo All-Stars reserves the right

to move or switch around any athlete that is a crossover at any given time within the

season.
