Elite Cheer
COMPETITION TEAMS ATTENDANCE
Both Weekly Team Trainings & All Competitions are mandatory. Students & their families are expected to make every effort to attend.
Please look carefully at competition schedules & take into consideration travel/fees associated with each team.
Appointments, being tired, family/friend's birthdays, dinners etc. are not a good enough excuse to be absent from your team trainings. Please schedule events for after or before classes, or on another night.
Students with injuries or minor illness must still attend class to watch the training. This is to ensure students don’t fall behind their team/s learning any new choreography, changes, spacing &/or corrections as our Competitive
Teams work through a lot each lesson. Please refer to Injury/Illness Procedure below for more info (as also stated in our 2017 Info Booklet).
Please note Upstage must be notified when a student will be absent prior to class commencing. Please call 9786-6555 or email info@upstagedanceandcheer.com

If planning a family holiday please check our training and competition schedule.
NEW COMP TEAM ATTENDANCE POLICIES
ALL Dance & Cheer Competitive Teams. This includes Novice, All-star & Extreme Teams.
Students must not miss any more than 2 x Weekly Trainings, per term. e.g.
Novice Team training 1 x per week = Maximum of x 2 absences per term
All-star Team training 2 x per week = Maximum of x 4 absences per team
If any student has missed more than the above (2 x weekly trainings), in the previous 10 weeks prior to a competition, they will not be permitted to compete in the upcoming competition.
Students must attend the final 2 weeks of training before any competition date, or they will not compete. NO EXCEPTIONS, other than School Camps.
We expect students/families understand & respect these attendance policies. They will be strictly enforced in 2023. This is in best interests to their team & also in best interest of the student, so they can be well prepared & confident to compete/perform at their best.
