I love the idea as well. It shows parents that aren't in your gym yet that you mean business, that you take practice seriously and that you want your athletes to as well. It also tells people who miss practice for silly reasons, or who don't come prepared, that you aren't going to stand for it. I have never had a huge issue with athletes leaving mid season. This past year I had 5 kids quit after choreography at different times during the year. What did I just add into my handbook? A $250 dollar fine if you leave after choreo. It will have parents with flakey kids think twice about joining the team. It will also have parents teach their kids about responsibility when you join a team sport. Just like the fine for being late, and not bringing you shoes.
