We will be open from Monday 18th January - Friday 29th January 2016, from 10am - 3pm daily. (Closed Tuesday 26th for Aus Day) Classes will commence Monday February 1st 2016 Managing Director – Danielle Jimenez Managing Director: [email protected] Admin/Melissa: [email protected] Accounts/Belinda: [email protected] Absences/Melissa: [email protected] Web – www.starletscheerleading.com Office - 02 8854 0389 Postal – PO BOX 7149 Baulkham Hills 2153 NEW Information & CHANGES for the 2016 Season Information highlighted on this page is expanded on again later in this document. Each year many things stay the same at the gym, but each year many things change and therefore we thought it important to highlight some of these changes. Invoicing/Payments Invoices for each terms classes will be issued during the School Holiday's prior to that term commencing. They will be sent out via email. Payment is due by the first Friday of each term. Families who chose to have their credit card details on file will be receive a 2% discount for the ease and convenience of us being able to process this payment for you. Class fees will be different each term depending on how many sessions the team is training in the term. Term dates and public holidays may affect the number of sessions for certain teams. Please see table in this info pack for pricing. EFT over the Counter Surcharges Due to an unforeseen rise in banking charges from over the counter EFT use there is now a 1% surcharge when you come into the office and use your card. Anyone who opts to keep their card on file for the year there, is no surcharge when we take payments for you for fees each term. Start of Season Family Meetings This season instead of asking all families to attend, we are only asking new competition families for 2016 to come along to a meeting in the first 2 weeks of term. If you are new to the competition program at Starlets this year you will need to attend one of the compulsory family meetings listed in the information pack below. Attendance Rewards & Training Rewards At the end of each term we will make a record of all athletes who have had full attendance and send this out in an email. All athletes will be entitled to received a gift from our new STARLETS REWARD BOX. There will be a range of cool gifts and presents from stationary to make up. During training sessions coaches will allocate raffle tickets to athletes for outstanding effort and achievements at every lesson, at the end of each term we will draw winners from the raffle box and they will also be entitled to received a gift from our new STARLETS REWARD BOX. Themed weeks & Bring a friend weeks To keep training sessions fun and exciting, we have set special themed weeks and bring a friend weeks. These are a great opportunity to show your personality in your attire at training, and also to bring your friends along and show them what cheerleading is all about. Recreational Stunt/Cheer Classes Due to expressions of interest, we have added a new recreation class to the timetable. This is for athletes who want to participate in Cheerleading (stunting) but are not able to commit to being a competition athlete. This will enable new athletes to participate in tumbling classes and stunting classes and get full exposure of what being in a cheerleading team would be all about. Team App - Starlets Cheerleading App Download our Team app from your APP STORE on your phone today. This is an easy place for us to keep all the documentations, events & newsletters you need to know about. 1. Search Team App 2. Download 3. Search Starlets Cheerleading Cancelling a Private Tumbling Classes As of 2016, if a coach cancels a private the athlete will be refunded in full. However, if the athlete cancels the private there will be no refund issued. Instead you are entitled to make up this private in 2 x regular tumbling classes instead. Dance Duo Classes To ensure our athletes get the most out of their duo training sessions, we are running these as private classes for 2016. Each duo will have a dedicated coach and a 30minute session for their routine per week. Aussie Gold Competition - Gold Coast, QLD This year we will be taking Open 6 Cheer & Open Pom Stealth to a 2nd interstate Competition. Dates for the event are listed with the competitions later in this info pack. It is up to each athlete to arrange their own flights and accommodation. Pinnacle - Monday November 28th 2016 This event is the BEST of the BEST teams coming together the day after Nationals to compete for the final titles of the year. Bids are only given out to Junior aged teams Level 1 and above in Cheer & and Junior aged Dance teams, during the course of the year at all the competitions. Teams that earn bids this year will be asked to stay for the Monday and compete at Pinnacle, so please keep this in mind when booking your Nationals trip. Different Comps for Different Teams Last year we trialled sending different teams to different competitions, and it worked really well. This year we are doing the same thing. Please pay close attention to the competition timetable as it is different for all teams. Please also take note of the table outing your compulsory lessons for each of these competitions. FREE Starlets training shirt Everyone has been asking why we asked for your T-shirt size on your try out form. This is because we are giving everyone a FREE 2016 training shirt, GET EXCITED they are amazing, and we have attached a photo on the very last page of this info pack for you to see! ____________________________________________________________________________________ Team Selection Process From the information supplied on athlete forms and attendance at tryout sessions for Cheer and Pom, athletes are evaluated by coaching staff and placed in the most appropriate team as identified by the selection panel. Cheer Teams 1. Any new athletes or current athlete seeking re-selection will be required to complete a tryout information form and attend a tryout session. 2. Team selections are based on a number of factors - age, minimum & maximum positions available per team, tumbling ability, experience, previous attendance/commitment, and positive attitudes. 3. Some athletes that may not have level appropriate tumbling skills will be placed in a higher level cheer team where we need athletes to fill teams in regards to stunting roles. We are not in a position to bump every athlete up a level that does not have the tumbling, therefore if you are bumped up you are one of the chosen lucky few that fit a role we needed in that particular team. 4. Our current procedure is to place all athletes into a cheerleading team. Depending on numbers some athletes over 19 years and under 5 years may not be offered a position. 5. All cheer athletes (excluding minis) who do not have the highest level of tumbling skills required for the level team they are placed in will be required to attend a weekly tumbling session or private tumbling session to be eligible to accept their position on the team. 6. Teams will be evaluated throughout Term 1 2016, to ensure athletes have been placed in the appropriate level and meet the necessary team requirements and numbers. During this time athletes may be asked to move teams where required. Pom Teams 1. Any new athletes or current athlete seeking re selection will be required to complete a tryout information form and attend a tryout session. 2. Team selections are based on a number of factors - age, minimum & maximum positions available per team, experience, previous attendance/commitment, and positive attitudes. 3. Dance team numbers are limited, and therefore we are not always able to offer every athlete a position. 4. Based on technical ability and experience some teams may be classified as Novice division. 5. If some athletes do not accept their positions then team numbers may be affected, which could result in particular teams being dissolved or adjusted. 7. Teams will be evaluated during Term 1 2016, to ensure athletes have been placed in the appropriate team and meet the necessary team requirements and numbers. During this time athletes may be asked to move teams where required. Hip Hop Teams Unfortunately due to low numbers we are not able to offer hip hop teams for 2016. Group/Partner 1. Any new athletes or current athlete seeking re-selection will be required to complete a tryout information form and attend a tryout session. 2. Athletes must be enrolled in a cheer team to eligible for a group and/or partner stunt placement 3. Team selections are based on a number of factors - age, minimum & maximum positions available per team, experience, previous attendance/commitment, and positive attitudes. 6. If some athletes do not accept their positions then team numbers may be affected, which could result in particular teams being dissolved or adjusted. 4. Teams will be evaluated throughout Term 1 2016, to ensure athletes have been placed in the appropriate level and meet the necessary team requirements and numbers. During this time athletes may be asked to move teams where required. Dance Duo 1. Any new athletes or current athlete seeking re selection will be required to complete a tryout information form and attend a tryout session. 2. Team selections are based on a number of factors - age, like ability and style with other duo participant, previous experience, attendance/commitment, and positive attitudes. 3. Duo team numbers are limited, and therefore we are not always able to offer every athlete a position. 4. If some athletes do not accept their positions then team numbers may be affected, which could result in particular teams being dissolved or adjusted. Being a Starlet The Commitment and Attendance Policy At Starlets Cheerleading we have high professional standards and regulations, which are taken very seriously. Athletes are expected to demonstrate this commitment by having a 100% attendance rate (within reason). Under certain circumstances, permission may be granted for an athlete to miss a given lesson provided prior approval is sought from Gym Owner Danielle Jimenez. If a lesson needs to be missed for a justified and approved reason (listed in “Policies & Expectations”) a minimum of 2 weeks’ notice must be given in writing to [email protected] We have a strict attendance policy and tardiness is not tolerated. We encourage athletes to participate in other sporting activities outside of cheerleading; however, please know that we do not tolerate Starlets training being missed due to other sporting commitments. Please choose your sports wisely so that everyone can be 100% committed to all the sports they decide to take on. If an athlete is ill or injured we ask that they still attend training so that they do not miss any changes to routines unless the illness or injury is detrimental to their health or others. You must call the office on (02) 8854 0389, to notify us at least 2 hours prior to your training time so that the coaches can make changes prior to the lesson commencing, and so we are aware that you are coming to class but are not able to participate that day. Please do not email us on the day if you are sick or injured as there is no guarantee we will see this email before classes commence. A doctor’s certificate is required for any illness or injury that will prevent the athlete from participating at any training session.

Due to events growing across the country, event providers have seen an increase in venue hire the costs associated with running an event. This increase does have to be passed onto the athletes attending and therefore you will see an increase in registration cost.

New Competition Athletes and their families need to attend one of the meeting times below. (Repeat competition families do not need to attend). Athletes can also not miss training to be at a meeting. Due to the amount of athletes at the gym we need to ensure that all information received is understood to avoid confusion and gossip later, and gives you an opportunity to meet the owner Danielle Jimenez. There will be a rundown about the gym and year ahead, expectations and an opportunity to ask any questions. If you are not available that week please email Dani to schedule a private meeting as we do keep a record of attendance. Please pick one of the times below. Week 1 and 2 - Term 1: Monday 6pm or 7pm Tuesday 4pm, 5pm or 6pm Wednesday 4pm, 5pm or 6pm Thursday 4pm, 5pm or 6pm Friday 4pm or 5pm Aussie Gold - Gold Coast QLD Only Open 6 Cheer (Orion) and Open Pom Stealth will be attending the Aussie Gold event in QLD for 2016. As the event is in the middle weekend of the July school holidays we will speak during training about whether what date we need to be in QLD, and whether there will be training for these teams during first week of school term, so please leave the first week of these holidays available for training/ travel to QLD. Travel, accommodation costs and organisation are the responsibility of parents and athletes. AASCF Nationals & Pinnacle- Gold Coast QLD ALL ATHLETES & TEAMS are attending AASCF Nationals in Gold Coast QLD, at the Exhibition and Convention Centre on Friday 25th, Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th November. It is compulsory for all athletes to attend. Athletes will not be granted permission to miss any compulsory lessons prior to this event, however athletes who wish to stay after the event are welcome to do so as Nationals signifies the end of our season. Monday the 28th of November is the AASCF Pinnacle. This event is a bid only event, which means that during the year teams are awarded bids at other competitions for a chance to compete against the best of the best the day after Nationals. This is event is not for novice teams, or any teams in tiny, mini or youth. Any of our teams that do receive a bid to pinnacle will be competing in 2016, so please keep this in mind when bookings flights and accommodation. We encourage everyone to book early to avoid higher rates, or coming across booked out accommodation venues. Due to the growth of the event AASCF will NOT be releasing any information about what day or times age groups or divisions will approximately be competing until 3 weeks prior to the event. Travel, accommodation costs and organisation are the responsibility of parents and athletes. Please ensure your bookings are made for arriving in Gold Coast on Thursday the 24th of November and returning on or after Tuesday the 29th of November. The event has been known to run from 7am - 11pm, so it is important you do not book early or late flights on the Friday or Sunday as this could impact on athletes being able to compete. If you are looking for assistance with booking we recommend you speak to Melissah Missio at Hello World, Winston Hills. Melissah is a parent at the club and can help with your specific needs. Email: [email protected] All flight and accommodation bookings must be made by September 23rd 2016 (end of Term 3). Athletes will be required to provide contact details to Starlets in case there is a need to make contact throughout the weekend. Member Protection Officers - MPIO We are a large gym and have two Member Protection Information Officers (MPIO) who are accredited through the Australian Sports Commission. An MPIO is the first point of call in a club or sporting organisation for any enquiries, concerns or complaints around harassment and abuse. The MPIO provides confidential information and moral support to the person with the concern or who is alleging harassment. Our MPIOs can handle any complaints, concerns or issues that any coach, parent or athlete may have. These matters are kept strictly confidential and are dealt with immediately. Our member protection officers are: Dianna Denyer – 0414 839 363 and Gabrielle O’Grady – 0404 492064 Kiss and Drop Zone / Parking at the Facility The facility has a pedestrian crossing and a kiss and drop zone located adjacent to the NEW Cheer room entrance. Kiss and drop is designed for you to drive into the designated zone, let your child out of the vehicle, and then they can cross safely at the pedestrian crossing. It can also be used for pick up of your child provided that they are ready to leave. Under NO circumstances are vehicles to park and wait in this drop off and pick up zone. There are limited Starlets parking spaces in front of our building but there is plenty of parking on the street in front of the Hills Action Centre. Please do not park in spots that are clearly marked and designated to other businesses in the centre. Your understanding with this matter is greatly appreciated. Additional Classes Group Tumbling Classes Tumbling classes are run throughout the week at various times. These classes are ability based, NOT related to your cheer level. Classes are one hour and there is a maximum of 18 athletes per class, based on coach availability. Athletes must be able to perform all skills in a particular level before they are able to progress to the next level. Your coach will notify Danielle at the end of each term of any athletes ready to progress, and an alternate class will be suggested for the next term. Work hard, and aim to move up! Stunt/Cheerleading Classes We are now offering classes where athletes can come and work just on their stunting and cheerleading skills that are non tumbling related. This is aimed at athletes who are not part of the competition program, however, if you are a competition athlete and would also like to attend these classes as additional stunt practise you are more than welcome to do so. These classes are based on age, go for one hour, and cater for all abilities. Age Groups are 8 years and under, 9-14 years, and 15 years and over. Compulsory Tumbling Classes We expect all athletes that do not have the highest level of tumbling skills required for the cheer level they have made to attend a tumbling class. Athletes that do not enrol in tumbling that are required to do so will no longer be eligible for a place on that level team, if we have a place in an alternate team we will try to work around this for you. We have noted in the team placement which athletes are required to attend tumbling for the 2016 season. If you would like to book a place please email [email protected] to secure your position. This position will be yours for the season unless otherwise advised. Positions are given on a first come first served basis and a confirmation email will be returned to acknowledge position. Private Classes These are available based on coach availability, which is listed on the timetable. Private lessons are offered to individuals, or groups of 2 (where both athletes are learning the same skills) with 1 dedicated coach. Sessions enable the athlete to work on one or more of the following: tumbling, flexibility/strength and dance. Due to timetabling, private lessons will be in a room while other group tumbling is in session, however your coach is dedicated to you and you will have full use of all the facility and equipment. Private tumbling availability is located within the same document as the team placements and timetable. Please book via email [email protected] . It is first come first served and bookings can be made as weekly bookings or fortnightly bookings and will continue each term unless you inform us otherwise. As of 2016, if a coach cancels a private the athlete will be refunded in full. However, if the athlete cancels the private there will be no refund issued. Instead you are entitled to make up this private in 2 x regular tumbling classes instead. Tumbling Levels Beginner Level (3-6 years & 7+ years) Skills: basic shapes, forward rolls, handstands and cartwheels. All athletes who are new to tumbling are required to start in this class. At your first lesson the coach will assess your ability and where necessary will ask you to move to a level 1 class, or remain in the pre levels class. Level 1 (6+ years) Skills: round offs, back and front walkovers and specialty passes connecting Level 1 skills. Level 2 (All ages) Skills: back handsprings, round off multiple back handsprings, front handsprings and specialty passes connecting level 2 skills. Level 3 (All ages) Skills: standing and running tumbling that consists of jumps to back handspring, round off handspring tucks, punch fronts and specialty passes connecting level 3 skills. Level 4 (All ages) Skills: standing and running tumbling that consists of tucks, layouts, and specialty passes connecting level 4 skills. Level 5 (All ages) Skills: standing and running tumbling that consists of jumps to tuck, twisting skills and specialty passes connecting level 5 skills. Team List/ Timetable – see attached separate document We have attached a separate document to outline team placement & this years timetable, and private tumbling availability. • Cheer & Pom teams will be evaluated in Term 1 next year, to ensure athletes have been placed in the appropriate level and meet the necessary team numbers. • If some athletes do not accept their positions then team numbers may be affected, which could result in particular teams being dissolved or adjusted. The team placement document will also be available as a link on our website www.starletscheerleading.com. If you have a friend that has tried out for a team and they did not receive the team placement email please let me know so I can double check the email we have for them and fix this for future correspondence. You will notice on our timetable that the dance area is also being utilised by Constant Groove Dance Studio. Michelle is a good friend of Dani’s and we welcome her and her students to our facility for another year of dancing.
