 Revolution Athletics All-Stars
2018-2019

Welcome to the Revolution Athletics Family! We are very excited that you have chosen to join
us this season. Whether as a spectator in the stands, or an athlete on the mat, we believe that
you are a very important part of what we do and that is why we are proud to welcome you into
what truly IS a gym “Family!” Here at Revolution Athletics, we are striving to create a whole
new generation of Revolutionary Athletes. Our goal is to help your child achieve their greatest
potential, and set them up for success both on and off the mat. We believe in the importance of
teaching correct form and proper technique from the beginning, all the while encouraging
athletes to push past their fears, and stretch their limits, while maintaining safety at all times.
We want to create a positive and constructive environment that enables them to set and
accomplish goals, and allow their self-esteem to soar as they succeed. By breaking down the
basics, we encourage overall development. A skill taught without the proper foundation,
including conditioning, flexibility, strength, fitness, and technique, is just a skill... but by
educating the athlete, and encouraging dedication and hard work, we are building character
and athleticism, and THOSE skills will carry them forward into their futures!

Please carefully review all of the information provided. Every athlete must bring a completed
packet with them to assessments in order to participate.

 Welcome to Revolution Athletics All-Star Cheerleading Program 2018-2019

We believe in creating a new generation of revolutionary athletes!

As a part of Revolution Athletics, you are a part of our Revolution Family!

Here at Revolution Athletics, our goal is to create a whole new generation of revolutionary
athletes! Our gym was founded on basic Christian principles, and we strive to place family and
community at the heart of everything we do. Our desire is to not just be a place in our
community, but to help build it by bringing families, and organizations together in a safe, fun
and positive environment. At our gym, we are seeking to expand the skills of our athletes, while
building their character as well. Our focus includes maximizing their athletic potential and
increasing their self-esteem. They will see themselves set and accomplish goals individually and
as a team. Our coaches and staff strive to teach positive lessons about hard work,
perseverance, dedication, kindness, and sportsmanship. We want our athletes to be known by
their skills on the floor and their strength of character in life. This outstanding approach is what
sets our gym apart, and as a gym family, we hope to touch the lives of everyone who walks
through our doors! Thank you in advance for entrusting your child to us. We look forward to
watching them grow into "Revolutionary" athletes on the mat and for a lifetime to come!

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty

power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more
than we might ask or think.” - Ephesians 3:20 (NLT)

Mandatory Parent Meeting

May 3rd – 7:00 PM

Team placement is based on a number of factors including physical attributes such as tumbling,
stunting, motions, and jumps, as well as mental factors including maturity level, attitudes, and
teamwork. We do NOT set teams based on prior season placement, social agendas or requests.
If an athlete works hard and consistently delivers what is needed for another team they may be
asked to move teams or cross-compete.

Initial placements will be announced May 1st 2018. We do our best to place every athlete that
wants to become part of our program. However, if an athlete is not initially placed after
assessments, we will be contacting you directly to discuss an individualized plan that prepares
your child for placement in the future. We look forward to encouraging every athlete in their
journey towards placement and their Revolutionary All-Star career. Final Placements will be
communicated by June 28th 2018. Your athlete may have the opportunity to move up between
initial placements and final placements based on meeting skill requirements as determined by
the All Star Director.

no less than 24hrs for scheduled events.

 Is This The Gym For You...

A lot of these may make you laugh, but please remember the point behind each. Much of this is
from Cheer Twisters but they apply across the cheerleading world, not in just one gym 

▪ If you can’t check your diva at the door...this might not be the gym for you.
▪ If you were on a level last season and automatically think you should move up to the next
level this season...this might not be the gym for you. There is nothing wrong with spending a
few years at a certain level. Leveling up is based on your hard work, consistency and the
discretion of the coaches.
▪ If you throw a full and think that makes you a level 5...this might not be the gym for you.
Just because you have a certain skill does not mean that you are a certain level; there are a
number of factors to consider.
▪ Parents, if you don’t have an email address...this might not be the gym for you.
▪ If you don’t check your email regularly...this might not be the gym for you.
▪ If your child gets moved in a routine and the first thing that comes to your mind is that you
need to have a “talk” with the coach...this might not be the gym for you.
▪ If you do a stunt private and you think that makes you a flyer...this might not be the gym for
you.
▪ If you don’t want your child to condition...this might not be the gym for you.
▪ If you think that you should be running the mat...this might not be the gym for you.
▪ If you are reliving your childhood through your child now...this might not be the gym for you.
▪ If you feel the need to have a sit down with the coach, or Lisa, at the end of every
practice...this might not be the gym for you.
▪ If you think that you are a doctor but don’t have the initials to back it up...this might not be
the gym for you.
▪ If you are a psycho-over-the-top cheer parent...this is definitely not the gym for you. We
encourage you to support your athlete and their teammates, however, remember that the kids
are still learning!

 RA Parent Code of Conduct

▪ If you have a concern about your child please talk to their coach. Please request a time to
speak to the coach privately and not during practice.

be held accountable and have extra conditioning assigned
▪ Practices may be added or changed at any time and last minute changes are inevitable and are
a part of the competitive nature of this sport.
▪ The coaches or RA staff may close practices at any time without notice.
▪ Parents, siblings, friends, athletes hanging-out, etc., must sit in the stands, they are NOT
allowed on the gym floor.

▪ Communication is a must! Please check your email regularly and use the Remind 101 system.
Please see the Front Desk if you are not receiving the texts and/or emails.
▪ Withholding an athlete from practice or competition affects the entire team, please find
another form of punishment.
▪ We are a family! This means at competitions we all support each other and will be required to
watch other RA teams at such events.
▪ Parents, friends, athletes, etc., are NEVER allowed to speak to competition judges. If you have
a question/issue, see your coach.
▪ This is a revolt! We truly are a Revolutionary Gym and Family. We support other teams and
don’t speak ill of other gyms or athletes, we are raising the bar for cheerleaders and our sport
everywhere.
▪ Logo/Name Usage. All use of Revolution Athletics, team names or other references must be
approved by Lisa. All sales involving name or logo must go through Revolution Athletics.
▪ No one is allowed to share choreography, music, routines, etc. Any distribution may be cause
for removal from the team and/or the gym. Out of courtesy for other gyms, please do not share
theirs either.
▪ Your attitude matters. If you are excessively negative or disrespectful to other athletes,
coaches, etc., your child WILL be asked to leave the program.
▪ Team Moms are the primary contact point for your athlete’s team. If RA changes the team
mom for any reason, the team will be notified.
▪ Athletes may be dismissed during the season for failure to adhere to the RA code of conduct,
policies and procedures as outlined by Revolution management.
▪ Finally, because of our commitment to Christian values, ethical principles, and creating an
elite program, we will not tolerate the use of illicit drugs or alcohol, period! Therefore, RA
reserves the right to perform random drug testing as deemed necessary. Failure to comply will
result in immediate dismissal from our program. Your athlete’s safety and well-being is of the

Revolution Athletics for the duration of the season. This fee will be applied to the last month’s
tuition of the season. If the participant does not complete the program or in any other way fails
to fulfill this agreement, this fee will be forfeited.

performances of stunts and use of trampolines, entail certain risks that simply cannot be eliminated
without jeopardizing the essential qualities of the activity. Without a degree of risk, cheerleading
students would not improve their skills and the enjoyment of the sport would be diminished.

connected with RA related activities, including but not limited to performance of stunts and the use of
trampolines. My participation and that of my child is purely voluntary. No one has forced or coerced me
or my child to participate. I elect for myself and my children to participate in such activities in spite of
the risks.
3. I hereby voluntarily release, forever discharge and agree to hold harmless and indemnify RA
from any and all liability, claims, demands, actions or rights of action, which are related to, arise out of,
or are in any way connected with my child’s participation in spite of the risks.
4. Should RA be required to incur attorney’s fees and costs to enforce this agreement I agree to
indemnify and reimburse them for such fees and costs.
5. I certify that my child has health, accident and liability insurance to cover bodily injury or
property damage that may be caused or suffered while participating in this event or activity, or else I
agree to bear the costs of such injury or damage to me child. I further certify that I am willing to assume
and bear the costs of all risks that may arise or be created directly or indirectly, through or by any such
condition.
6. In the event that I file lawsuit against RA, I agree to do so solely in the State of Georgia and I
further agree that the substantive and procedural laws in that state shall apply in any such action
without regard to the conflict of laws rules thereof. I agree that if any portion of this agreement is found
void or unenforceable the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
7. By signing this document, I acknowledge that if anyone is hurt or property is damaged during
my participation or the participation of any of my children in this activity, I may be found by court of law
to release RA be signing this Agreement.
I have had sufficient opportunity to read this entire document. I have read this Agreement and
understand it. I agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
