Sportsmanship
It is the goal of CheerPros to make competitions fun, innovative, and positive. We will not tolerate bad sportsmanship by participants, coaches, and fans/parents. We reserve the right to remove any person/persons that are unsportsmanlike or do not follow the directions of the security and event staff. Coaches should set a good example and make their teams and fans aware of the team penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct. (20 points for each occurrence.) U.S. Spiritleaders Events invites judges from different cheerleading and dance backgrounds so different styles are taken into consideration. All judges decisions are final and are objective. Coaches should prepare their teams and fans/parents in the way they conduct themselves during the day, during the awards ceremony, and even after the event is over.
