Injuries
Parents need to note that cheerleading is a highly competitive and physical sport and the skills involved such as stunting, jumping, and tumbling could lead to injuries. These include but are not limited to bruises, pulled or strained muscles, torn or strained ligaments, broken bones, dislocations, paralysis or even death. We at Marshals take every precaution to limit these injuries. Unfortunately, we cannot prevent all injuries. In the event that your child is injured we will take every necessary step to ensure your child is looked after properly. Competitive cheerleading is a very strenuous sport; therefore all of the athletes in our program are expected to be in top physical condition. This includes flexibility, strength, and endurance. We will have specific conditioning and strength building exercises to make sure our athletes takes all precautions to avoid injury.

Substance Policy
All team members are expected to take care of their bodies. If you are under 18 absolutely NO DRUGS, ALCOHOL AND TOBACCO PRODUCTS. If you are over 18 No drugs what so ever! No alcohol on the weekend of competition/night before and on the day of competitions and practises. No smoking or drinking in Marshals uniform or clothing. If anyone is caught breaking any of the above they may be immediately dismissed from the program.

Parents and Relatives
All parents are expected to represent the Marshals program with excellence, we expect you to lead by example. The use of swearing and abusive language will not be tolerated while in any Marshals clothing. This is not limited to competitions but anywhere public that people are able to acknowledge you are a part of the Marshals family. No one is allowed to make contact through the parent viewing area during practices. This is extremely distracting to all athletes and makes our job extremely difficult. It is the parent’s responsibility to get the correct information from their child’s coach or team representative regarding practices, competition, etc. All team practices will be closed to spectators during the week prior to competition. The coaches reserve the right to close practices for spectators at ANY time for ANY reason.

Parents are never allowed to represent Marshals Cheer & Dance under any circumstances concerning accommodations or competition companies. Doing so could result in immediate dismissal from the program without a refund. Please do not ask your child to do skills that the coaches themselves have not asked them to do to help prevent injury to your athlete. If there are any questions or concerns with your team, please contact your coach first.
