Text Box: Team Resolutions

Attendance

I will attend all scheduled practices and if I miss, I will make up the time.
When necessary, I will come in for extra practice. I realize if I come to another practice that I may be put in a squad and will rotated with that squad. If I come at a class time, I can only use the equipment that is not being used for classes.
I will use my make-up time to have a good practice and not use that time for socializing.
I will try to arrive at practice on time and not leave early.
If I arrive late to practice, I will check with the coach in charge to see where I should go. If I miss my assigned squad has already begun at an event, I will go to that event and do a short warm-up.

Work habits

I will make use of all equipment at my rotations.
I will do full routines when asked to by my coaches and will not give up.
I will spend most of my time working on my competitive skills, not on skills I do not compete.
I will not leave the practice area except to use the restroom or get a drink.
I will work on flexibility and/or conditioning if I am waiting for a turn.
I will practice the “NO SLOP” philosophy at all times.

Attitude

12. If I consistently miss a trick in my routine, I will discuss the problem with the coach(es) at that  
      event.
13. I will make no changes in my routines unless it is approved by the coach(es) at that event.
14. I will be respectful to my coaches, teammates, parents, judges, and myself.
15. I will work on having a positive attitude at meets; I will be supportive of my teammates.
16. I will practice good sportsmanship at meets; I will not give into tears if I make a mistake or  
      have a bad routine.
17. I will not ask a coach to compare my routine or score to another teammate. I will concern 
     myself with my routine’s score only, not what a teammate scores.

Specific resolutions for specific events
Vault
18. If I want to compete a tsuk or other flipping vault or other higher difficulty vault, I agree to the 
      following:        - I will train this vault 2-3 times each week
                             - the vaulting coaches will make the final decision on my physical and mental  
                               readiness to train or compete this vault
                             - I will have and train a substitute vault to use when not competing the flipping 
                               vault

Beam 
19. I will train all the skills in my routine. I understand that the coaches will do heavy spots at 
      practice before the season if needed but I will be working to get the skills with a safety spot 
      only and soon with no spot by the start of competition.
20. I understand that at meets I will not be spotted on any trick. I can only request a coach to 
      stand by for a safety spot. 
21. If I have a flight series in my routine, I will practice it at every beam rotation on the low and   
      high beams.
22. I understand that the beam coach(es) will make the final decision on my physical and mental 
      readiness to throw certain tricks or combinations in my routine.
23. I understand that it is my responsibility to work on my flight series at every practice and it is 
      not the coaches’ responsibility to nag me.

Floor
24. I will tumble more on my own.
25. I will work on parts while waiting to do a full routine.
26. I understand that the floor coach(es) will make the final decision at competitions on my 
      physical and mental readiness to throw certain tricks or combinations in my routine.

Bars
27. I will do bar conditioning at every practice.
28. I will always try to make my routine continuous.
29. I understand that the bar coach(es) will make the final decision at competitions on my 
      physical and mental readiness to throw certain tricks or combinations in my routine.

I have read the above resolutions and will try my best in the upcoming season to follow them. I have shared these resolutions with my parents so they can support me in these goals.
