Dear West Valley College Student,
Thank you for your interest in trying out for
the West Valley College Spirit Team. Prior to tryouts, it is important that you
know about the many responsibilities involved in being on the squad.
As a member of the squad, you will be required
to attend all the football and basketball games, events, practices, team
meetings and any other activity determined to be mandatory. Because this is a
team, your attendance is important and will allow the squad to perform their
duties. Social plans and job schedules must be arranged around your commitment
to the team. Unexcused absences will not be tolerated.
In addition, you are required to maintain a
2.0 GPA and must be enrolled in 6.0 units at all times during the season. Should you fall
below these minimum requirements and the WVC Student Government guidelines, you
will be dropped from the squad.
The Physical Education Department has designed
a course for spirit squad members so you can earn 2.0 units for your
participation. You must go through the audition process and selected as a team
member prior to enrollment. The course is PE 4.34 Spirit Teams.
Each member will be responsible for covering
the cost of the uniforms, camps and other miscellaneous items. The uniform fee
is approximately $600.00. The camp fee is $200.00.
As a member of the squad, you can look forward
to the opportunity for personal growth, leadership development, and campus and
community involvement in many exciting activities. Your attitude, dedication and
enthusiasm are just as important as the physical skills involved. Please
consider all of the above and evaluate your priorities.
