Cheerleader Expectations

These are the expectations universal for all the members of EHS Basketball Cheer Squad:

1. You must bring a water bottle with you to practice. It is vital that you rehydrate during quick breaks.
2. Unless otherwise told, you are to be on your feet during practice. Sitting during "down time" is not
    acceptable. Keeping heart rate up is important to your overall development.
3. On hard workout days, it is expected that you will stretch again later in the evening AND take a hot
    shower. These are vital to your body's overall recovery.  Since we are working on CORE
    strengthening and overall stamina and flexibility, there will be a lot of days of intense workout.
4. Ideally, you will not eat junk food before practice. Since it is impossible to monitor your junk food
    intake, junk food will not be seen by coaches at any time before practice. Eating this right before
    practice is like putting rocks in your gas tank. Eating a piece of fruit or a sandwich, etc. before
    practice is good in limited amounts.
5. You will not practice any stunting without first getting the "ok" by a coach. Safety is a main priority
    for everyone.
6. Fundraisers: Everyone is expected to fundraise as it will go towards items and events for the whole
    team.
7. You must have ten practices before you can participate in a game.
