Hamilton-Wenham Generals Youth Cheerleading Competition Participation Policy:

 

Due to number limits that are enforced by the Cape Ann Cheerleading organization, only 24 girls per squad are able to participate in the end of the season competition event. Our policy is that the first 24 girls to sign up will be the first girls eligible to be in competition. Any girls who signs up after the 24 slots have been filled will be an alternate for the competition in case another cheerleader is unable to compete. During the regular cheerleading season ALL girls will be able to participate on the squad. The girls are part of the team and will be involved in all aspects of the squad during practices , games and other events.  If issues arise during the season with a cheerleader who already has a spot on the competition squad due to signing up early , but has failed to show up at practices and games consistently,  then their place on the competition squad will be in jeopardy. The Cheerleading Director along with the coaches and the Commissioner will discuss whether or not changes would need to be made . The alternates chances to be put on the Competition squad will work the same as the original policy. The first alternate to have signed up after the 24 slots have been filled, will be the first to be moved onto the Competition Squad.
