6. EXPECTATIONS OF TEAM MEMBERS: Each member was placed on this team based on their individual skills. It is a requirement that members on this team take things such as stretching, strength training, conditioning and mastering technique into their own hands. With limited practice time, during competition season, routine cleaning can really take time away from our normal strength, conditioning, stretching and masstering technique. This means it is a responsibility of the member to find time at home to ensure they do not regress in ability. Members will occasionally be assigned to do specific exercises and stretches at home by the coach and are expected to be completed within a reasonable amount of time. These exercises and stretches are not considered a form of punishment by the coach, but excessive neglect of instruction could warrant punishment by demerit and/ or extra conditioning as stated in section If member regresses to a point in which they are no longer able to execute tricks already assigned to them or the group, they may be demoted to an alternate until they regain the necessary skills in order to meet the standard of the rest of the team. Additionally, dancers may have special roles and routines taken away from them in the event their skills continue to regress, or they show little effort in the recovery of any tricks or skills.

7. PARENT SUPPORT: Parents are expected to show support by participating in, showing up for and volunteering for all Activities as requested including, but not limited to: setting up, taking down, party planning, good luck bags and any other form of support and help needed. Parents are also expected to respect the decisions made by the coaches and refrain from interfering with coaching decisions or strategies. All parents and coaches are expected to conduct themselves in a professional and respectful manner at all times. This includes refraining from using abusive language, derogatory remarks, or aggressive behavior towards each other.

8. TEAM COSTS: Client agrees to fulfill all financial obligations related to team by its due date. If a balance is left owing at the end of the season, Adrenaline Dance Studio will enlist a credit company to pursue collections. There are not refunds.

9. COACHING RIGHTS: Coaches have the executive authority to change any factor of the team’s routines, costume, hairstyle, makeup, schedule, and policies within reason, as long as it does not violate this contract.
