COMPETITION ETIQUETTE FOR ATHLETES AND SPECTATORS

To help all those involved in the sport of twirling, here are some guidelines for coaches, athletes and parents to keep in mind at competitions.

 

1. Please respect the host organization by entering at the "door opening time".

2. Most facilities do not allow food or drinks in the gym.  Please clean up your surroundings before you  leave.  Use of facilities may be lost if a mess is left.

3.  Parents get excited to see their children involved in a competition.  Flash photography is strictly forbidden in the gym.  It can cause an athlete to be distracted or blinded temporarily, creating a dangerous situation.  High speed films or video cameras that do not require additional lighting are welcome.

4. Keep in mind that the gym floor is for athletes only.  Please enter and exit the gym between sets only and walk outside the performance floor. 

5. Keep your child safe by knowing where they are and how they are behaving. 

6.  An MC will announce when practice times will be.  Athletes should respect practice times on the floor.

7.  Keep conversations low key to respect the performers on the floor.  They have worked hard to prepare for this moment.

8. Children thrive on positive attention and all teams and individual performers deserve your applause.
