WHHS Jr. & High School Cheerleading Permission and Acknowledgment 2017-2018
Parental Permission:
My child, __________________________ has my permission to tryout to become a cheerleader
at Walnut Hills School. I understand that he/she must abide by the rules and regulations set
forth by the coaches and the athletic department at Walnut Hills High School, and be present for
all practices, games and other events. I understand all costs involved as stated in the packet and
have fully read and understand the rules and regulations. I understand that the violation of any
of these rules may lead to temporary or permanent suspension from the squad. I understand
that consistently negative remarks, or acts in a manner that may jeopardize the name and
reputation of WHHS Cheer Program or Walnut Hills High School will be subjected to removal
with no refund.
I understand that all forms with a blue star must be completed, turned in by April 10th, and my
child must have a current physical on file by the first clinic date or he/she will not be allowed to
participate. I also understand that the results of the tryouts are FINAL. The coach has the option
to open tryouts at any time during the year to any Walnut Hills transfer student. I understand
that my child must attend all tryout sessions (unless arrangements have been made with
coaches ahead of time) in order to tryout. I understand that my daughter/son will be evaluated
by qualified coaches.
I acknowledge that my child's participation in the Walnut Hills Cheerleading Program, requires
that they be academically eligible at the time of participation (2.0 GPA during tryouts, 4th Qtr
grades determine Fall eligibility; and 2nd Qtr. grades determine Winter eligibility).
I acknowledge that there will be no refunds of any expenses after the first initial cheerleading
deposit, even though they may have made tryouts, paid for and gone to camp, and paid
for equipment and supplies
I understand by the very nature of the activity, cheerleading and gymnastics carry a risk of
physical injury. No matter how careful the participants and coaches are, how many spotters are
used, or what landing surface is used, the risk cannot be eliminated. I understand these risks and
will not hold Walnut Hills High School or any of its personnel responsible in the case of an
accident or injury at any time.
