These are brilliant and great timing. I was just working on reintroducing the gym rules after a two week break (things had started to slip before the break) and this is a great idea to do it in a fun but serious way.

Here is mine, I've adapted/nicked some of yours cupieqt if that is ok

1. Thou shalt only wear thy cheer shoes in the gym and not outside.
2. Thou shalt stretch for 20 mins every day.
3. Thou shalt come to ALL training on time and wearing the correct kit.
4. Thou shalt not say the word “can’t”.
5. Thou shalt have a positive attitude and not cry, whine, complain or strop.
6. Thou shalt smile and be energetic and perform like a diva!
7. Thou shalt not drop thy flyer
8. Thou shalt stay tight and sharp in all thy does
9. Thou shalt not leave thy bags/clothes all around the gym.
10. Thou shalt love thy stunt group and teammates.

Thou shall not bring your ex-boyfriend/ex-girlfriend/new girlfriend drama on the mat!
Thou shall not go skiing, snowboarding or engage in extreme sports within 6 weeks of any competition!
Thou shall not find a janktastic tumbling coach outside the gym to "get ahead" on skills your qualified coaches say you're not ready for yet!
Thou shall not ditch practice to watch an episode of Dance Moms!
Thou shall not continue to be a member of the team on "principle" if you actually "quit" in your heart in October!
Thou shall fight to keep your stunt in the air at all costs for the 2:30 that counts!
Thou shall not make a vacation of traveling cheer competitions and forget what you're actually there for!
Thou shall remember that "on-time" means you're late and "early" means you're on time.
Thou shall not order other cheerleaders to "get to the gym and workout" when you don't do it yourself.
Thou shall not be anything less than the epitome of sportsmanship when wearing team colors

And I'm throwing this one in because it's the most important one....

Thou shall not eat Taco Bell prior to throwing double fulls in the gym.

Just sayin'

Love these!!!!!!


2. Thou shalt stretch for 20 mins every day.
Would you believe my cp was told to not stretch so much. She was really working on her flexibility for her jumps and apparently it is possible to stretch too much and her ortho told her that was why her femur was "dislocating"( for lack of a better word) in her hip socket. My apologies to any in the medical field for my layman's explanation.

Love these!! Especially the part about staying on the team if your heart quit in October. I'd rather have CP compete one down than have that dead weight on a team. I believe in honoring a commitment to a team but there is a time (um October sounds good) that if you need to quit, then just do it and spare the rest of the team.

Our "growing" boys who made a run for the border before practice had other exclamations for it. Bahaha! It's like a gym rule now.

Everyone is replaceable. I just wish if you didn't have ANY interest in being there...and you're a FLYER.... That you might just throw in the towel so someone else can fill in. The vaaaast majority of every deduction this team got this year is because this child was completely uncommitted, wouldn't fight for a thing, came to practice....intermittently...and wouldn't stand up. Just their deductions alone was the difference in last place and a cheersport jacket. No lie. Needless to say, we pulled in the rear in Atlanta. I think they're officially gone now just in time for the last competition this weekend. Better late than never, but October sure would've been nice.

^^^^^^^^^^that is so incredibly maddening and so incredibly sad for the teammates.
