Code of Conduct

Spirit is at the heart of what we do. By registering for NEO Spirit Summit, every athlete, coach, parent, and spectator agrees to uphold this code.

Athletes

  • Display sportsmanship at all times — to teammates, opponents, judges, and staff.
  • Respect the venue, equipment, and all facility property.
  • Wear approved uniform and follow safety/grooming guidelines.
  • No social media posting of other teams' routines without consent.

Coaches & Staff

  • Complete background checks and submit credentials prior to event.
  • Be present at all warm-ups and on-deck calls for your team.
  • Address concerns through the head official — never directly with judges.
  • Model the behavior you expect from your athletes.

Parents & Spectators

  • Cheer for ALL teams — positive energy only.
  • No coaching or shouting instructions from the audience.
  • No flash photography during routines (it's a safety hazard).
  • Treat venue staff and volunteers with respect.

Violations

Violations may result in warnings, point deductions, ejection from the venue, or disqualification. Severe or repeat violations may result in a ban from future NEO Cheer Spirit events. Report concerns to neospiritcheer@gmail.com.
