Oklahoma Twisters
We feel that the all-star program here is very unique. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn and love the sport of cheerleading. The process of training should be fun! However it is not always fun. Practices are had work. Positive reinforcement is stressed in coaching. However, this is a potentially dangerous sport and sometimes negative reinforcement is needed to convey the seriousness of the sport.It is our responsibility to teach each all-star to be the best of his/her ability (each all-star's ability is different). The following items will be included in your selection for the all-star squad for which you are selected.

Please be consistent in bringing your child to practice. We do not have alternates. Therefore, if your child misses the entire squad is hurt. The following list includes some of our suggestions for parents.

5. |
We do not recommend coaching or disciplining your child for anything related to cheerleading (that's what we are here to do) |
| |
6. |
Do not use all-stars as a punishment |
