PROGRAM POLICIES

An absence request form must be filled out and approved by a member of the Envy Athletics staff at least two weeks prior to the date of the absence. Any absence request form received within the two-week time frame will automatically be unexcused. A completed form doesn’t automatically excuse the absence. If any absence request is found to be false or inaccurate the athletes’ placement on the team may be jeopardized. The absence request form is available on our website. Please submit an absence request for any important event, even if it doesn't occur on your athlete's usual practice day. We will review the calendar and consider all submitted requests when rescheduling or adding practices. No unexcused absence will be allowed at any practice that involves choreography or one week prior to competition. An excused absence is limited to mandatory school functions for a grade, school cheer, death in the family, or contagious illness which has been diagnosed by a physician and a physician’s note is provided. An example of an unexcused absence may include: not feeling well, no ride to practice, birthdays, or too much homework. Excessive absences both excused and unexcused could lead to removal from a competition or removal from the team at the discretion of the Envy Athletics staff. Extra practices will be added prior to a competition. These practices are mandatory. Coaches reserve the right to replace an athlete who misses practice within two weeks before a competition.
