7. I understand that if my child decides to quit the Heart of Texas program (for any reason other than family relocation with a valid real estate document, or a season ending sport injury with a valid physician’s certificate) at anytime from August 1st 2020 to the end of the competition season April 30th, 2021, I will be charged a $250 Buy Out fee. This fee will be deducted from the card on file or needs to be paid by check within 5 days if card is not approved.
8. It is mandatory to abide by the Attendance policy as outlined in the 2020-2021 Athlete Policies given out in this packet. All athletes are to attend their teams regularly scheduled practices. If an athlete is not feeling well, or injured, they are still expected to be at practice. If your child has a fever or is vomiting they should not attend. A parent must call the office or team coach PRIOR to practice for this to be excused. All school activities and pre planned vacations should be submitted 14 days in advanced online as explained in the packet. After the athlete has reached 2 unexcused absences for the season, each additional unexcused absence will result in a $25 absence fee. If your
athlete reaches 14 missed practices, unexcused or excused, a meeting with the All-Star director will take place. At this time your child may be removed from the team at the discretion of the All Star Director. Attendance is required for success.
9. If at any time your child misses a competition for an unexcused reason, this is means for immediate termination from the team and no refunds of any sort will be given.
10. Heart of Texas will issue a list of “Black Out Weeks.” During said black out weeks, any missed practices will result in the athlete not being able to compete at the next event. No competition fee refunds will be given for missing a blackout week practice.
11. Your child can and will be suspended from practices and or competitions for displaying inappropriate behavior and refusal to follow gym rules and coaches instructions. Please discuss this with your child. You are still responsible for your athlete’s fees during the period of suspension.
12.Athletes should not be dropped off more than 15 minutes early for a team or class. Athletes should not be picked up after 9pm, as this requires coaches and staff to work past their set hours.
13. Fundraising- All fundraisers facilitated are individual, unless otherwise noted. We will apply credits to your accounts. Questions regarding fundraisers can be emailed Any surplus of credits from fundraisers can be used towards any services or products Heart of Texas offers. Funds can’t be transferred to another athlete. If athletes leave with a credit that will be transferred to the general fund. Refund checks will not be issued in the result of a surplus.

15. I understand that as a Heart of Texas member I am not allowed to use the Heart of Texas Logo and make my own merchandise. I cannot sell or create your own Heart of Texas Clothing or merchandise. I also understand I am not allowed to contact any vendors on behalf of Heart of Texas, doing so is grounds for dismissal from the program.
16. I understand that my athlete needs to come to practice every day in the proper attire. Practice attire includes the practice sets as assigned by coaches. Check the team Band for directions for each practice. Athletes can wear anything for class but must be in the right attire for team practice. Hair needs to be out of the face. Some teams may change their days based on the teams practice days check with your team Band as it will always have this info.
17. We reserve the right to close practices at any time. This will occur if the viewing room becomes negative or distracting. Please remember to be your athlete’s, team’s and coach’s biggest cheerleader! As a parent, if you are causing drama you can and will be removed from the gym.
18. It is the parent’s responsibility to stay informed. Check your email and Team Band regularly, if you are not receiving emails contact the front desk immediately so we can check your account. Each week you should receive a weekly email with updates and announcements.
19. Part of an All Star Team is uniform, hair and make up. To be on the team, all athletes must follow these guidelines. If you cannot commit to doing hair and make up in the designated style, your athlete can’t participate.
20. Athletes are placed on a team with the expectation that the skills they have at tryouts will remain and grow through the season. If an athlete can no longer fulfill the role they were placed on the team for, they will be moved to a team where they can fulfill the necessary role.
21. I understand that by trying out for a Summit or Worlds Team, these teams will accept any type of bid that is offered to them. If a team accepts a wild card or At Large Bid, they will be responsible for the Summit or Worlds Fees, practice wear and coaches fees. If a team accepts a paid bid, they will only be responsible for only practice wear, and coaches fees.
