Awarding Tumbling Achievement Paw Magnets
Updated February 4, 2017

Receiving their coloured paw award for tumbling achievements is a huge milestone for each athlete and it is crucial that all athletes receive the same red carpet treatment when they reach this milestone. No athlete should feel that their experience was less special than that of another athlete and as such every paw, regardless of colour, will be celebrated by staff.

Step 1: Locate the Athletes “Tumbling Goals & Progress Tracker from the plastic bin in the gym. Cards are filed alphabetically by first name.

Step 2: Ensure that each skill in the line has been performed perfectly 3 times, and has been signed off by a coach for each time performed.

Step 3: Award the appropriately coloured paw for the level achieved. See below chart:

Step 4: You MUST take a picture of the athlete with their paw to post on social media. First locate the magnetic white board that says “Today at Bears Cheerleading” – in Fergus it is in the front office on the left side of the apparel shelf. Next locate the Tumbling Paw Magnets – in Fergus they are stored in the middle left hand drawer of the glass display cabinet. Select the colour(s) of magnets that the athlete has earned.

Step 5: Prepare the photo: Attach the earned paw(s) to the white board and write “_______ has earned his/her _____ tumbling paw!” and take a picture of the athlete smiling holding the white board (after the picture athlete is free to take their paws home).

Step 6: Post the photo. In each club Facebook page (Cheer On! Bears Fergus and Cheer On! Bears Guelph) there is already an album created called Look Who Earned a Paw. The route to locate the album will be different depending on how you access Facebook (ie. Cell phone, tablet or desktop) but generally you will go to the photos section of the club page and click on albums. Once you have selected the Look Who Earned a Paw album you will click the add photos/videos button and upload your photo.

It is imperative that all paw photos be added to the proper album to keep the group feed clean and organized and also assist coaches with locating an athletes photo when required for printing or sharing.

Step 7: If the parent/athlete is on Facebook make sure to tag them in the photo so that they can share on social media as well. This is a huge accomplishment for athletes and we want to help them celebrate!

Step 8: Return the white board to the left side of the apparel shelf and have athlete return their Tumbling Goals & Progress Tracker to the bin in the gym.

Injury/Accident Reporting System

Updated July 15, 2019

It is absolutely imperative that proper processes be followed for any and all accidents and injuries, regardless if your perception of severity.

If an athlete becomes injured during a class you must immediately address the injury. Have your junior coach take control of your class so you may attend to the injured party and call for the manager on duty if required. If you do not have a junior coach, call for the manager on duty or send your athletes for a water break/and or continue with the current activity if it is safe to do so (ie. Drill stations)
If you did not see the accident occur you must find the person/people who did so that you may make an accurate assessment and/or fill out the Injury Report Form properly (if required). Record first and last names of any/all witnesses to the accident
For minor injuries (ie. Cuts, scratches and scrapes etc) assess the injury and provide treatment such as Bandaid or ice pack as required. You MUST fill out the Ice Pack/Bandaid/Sit Out Log Sheet found behind the attendance sheets on your clip board. There is also a copy at the end of this system for review.
ANY and ALL head bumps (if athlete hits floor, wall, or is hit by another athlete – ie. Stunting) must follow concussion protocol and have an Injury Report Form filled out as well as require contact with parents.
For moderate injuries (twisted joints, strains, strains) assess the injury, provide treatment, have athlete sit out (check back with them every 5 minutes) and contact parents if required. An Injury Report Form must be filled out
For any injury requiring medical attention such as a hospital visit. Asses with your manager and athlete’s guardian if they are safe to be moved for transportation to the hospital by guardian (coaches may not transfer an athlete to the hospital). If it is not safe or possible to move the athlete, the manager on duty must call 9-1-1 to have ambulance transportation arranged.

Open the Square Register if not already open
To access the concession menu select the (2) menu from the bottom of the screen
Select the item(s) being sold
Press the blue charge button at the bottom right of the screen to open the payment method window

Closing the Cash Drawer
Updated Jan 6, 2020

By using this checklist, we will make sure that the drawer is closed correctly after each shift. This will ensure that we have the correct amount of money each shift, and help to identify any processing errors in a timely fashion.

Guelph Location ONLY

Count the cash in the drawer/money pouch and write it down. There should be NO money in green pouches anymore ALL payments are to be placed in the clear concession bag
Open the Square App on the POS terminal
Click on the reports button on the left hand side of the square reader, then click Current Drawer
Scroll down to see the Expected in Drawer number and see if your cash matches this number. If there is a discrepancy check through transactions to see if there are any receipts reflecting that money was taken out of the drawer for expenses, payouts etc. If there are, make sure you look under current drawer and click pay in/out and type the amount of money taken out of the drawer. This will reflect the paid out amount in the Expected in Drawer number
In Drawer Description type Guelph Drawer xx/xx/2020
Type in the total amount of cash in your drawer and make sure that it comes to a $0 difference (there is still a chance that while our families are learning to purchase through the POS instead of leaving coins on the counter you could be up a few $ but should never be under)
Click end drawer (Be sure the drawer description says Guelph Drawer xx/xx/2020)
The Cash Drawer report will email automatically to info@cheeronbears.ca (if you are asked to confirm and email report please say yes)
Next click the Sales button on the left hand side of the screen. Email this report to info@cheeronbears.ca
Put the money from the drawer in a ziplock bag. Include a note that reads: “Guelph Drawer xx/xx/2020. Expected cash: _______ Actual cash: ____________ Difference: +/- _______ (if any). Amount in deposit bag (less float): ___________”

Start the next drawer by clicking the Start Drawer button and confirm that you have left a $20 float of small change in the concession bag

Special Events – Nerf Night

It is imperative that all special events are run in a consistent manner to ensure that all athletes are provided the same Rock Show at each event regardless of who is running the event.

Step 1: Arrive to the gym at least 15 minutes before the event is scheduled to begin. Spend this time turning on lights, making sure the lobby/bathrooms/gym are tidy, turn on music. In the winter shovel and salt the walk way as required throughout the evening.

Step 2: Open the Jackrabbit program via. www.jackrabbitclass.com and check the event enrollment. From the blue menu bar click Events and select Calendar – ALL from the dropdown menu and click on the Nerf Night Event on the calendar.

Step 3: A new window for the event will pop up, click on the Enrollment tab from the lower blue menu bar (if it is not already selected). Here you will see a list of all athletes enrolled in this event.

Step 4: Click the grey Print button located just above the list of enrolled names. Use this page to check off attendance. Keep this sheet accessible throughout the evening in case of emergency (contains contact numbers). Make sure that there is a contact number listed for each athlete enrolled.

Step 5: Have a sign in/out sheet ready at the front desk for parents to fill out as they drop off their children. This can be typed and prepared ahead of time or handwritten (as long as parents sign their children in and out which is the important detail). If parent’s have any concerns about their child (ie. Allergy, shy child etc.) a cell phone number should be provided in case they need to be reached quickly.

Step 6: Many athletes will have signed up online, but you will be collecting payment for most athletes at the door. All payments must be accompanied by a receipt (from the receipt book kept in the top drawer of the cabinet in the Fergus front office). Cash payments go in the green deposit bag (same drawer as receipt book) with the yellow copy of the receipt. If paying by credit card a receipt must still be written and the yellow copy (clearly marked a Visa/MasterCard payment) goes in the deposit bag. If you do not know how to process a credit card payment please review the Processing a Payment System.

Set up the table cloth, put plates/napkins/cups in the middle of the table, and hang the banner either across the bulletin boards or over the door way. Fergus: carry the yellow chair down to the landing on the stairs Guelph: Set the yellow chair up as the center of attention so that the birthday child will open their gifts on the yellow chair.

Step 5: Have a sign in/out sheet ready at the front desk for parents to fill out as they drop off their children. This can be typed and prepared ahead of time or handwritten (as long as parents sign their children in and out which is the important detail). If parent’s have any concerns about their child (ie. Allergy, shy child etc.) a cell phone number should be provided in case they need to be reached quickly.

Step 6: Many athletes will have signed up online, but you will be collecting payment for most athletes at the door. All payments must be accompanied by a receipt (from the receipt book kept in the top drawer of the cabinet in the Fergus front office). Cash payments go in the green deposit bag (same drawer as receipt book) with the yellow copy of the receipt.

This system is to be followed for all staff who access the bearsfrontdesk@gmail.com email account. All emails sent to info@cheeronbears.ca are automatically forwarded to the front desk email and a copy is also sent to cyndisbears@gmail.com

Log into the bearsfrondesk@gmail.com account by accessing mail.google.com if you should have access to this account but do not know the password please see your manager
Get familiar with all of the folders found at the left side of the screen. The most frequently used folders will be: (please note these are filed by year. 2018, 2019, 2020 etc)
20xx Athlete Communication (used for emails sent regarding athletes currently enrolled in a program)
20xx Birthday Parties (communication regarding inquires about or currently booked parties)
20xx Camp (PD day, March Break, Summer Camp communication and inquires)
20xx Cancellations/Withdrawals (communication re: stop dates or stopping a program/class/event)
20xx Events (special events ie. Nerf nights, special clinics etc)
20xx Fundraisers (any information from Fundraising vendors. Parent communication re: fundraisers should be filed under 20xx Athlete Communication)

Fergus Printing (communication regarding any orders sent to Fergus Printing)

When you see an unread email in the inbox, open and answer the question being asked. Always start with a polite greeting and paraphrase the main point of the email so the recipient feels acknowledged. Avoid using the auto fill responses suggested by google. Ie. If a parent emails to say Suzy will be sick reply with “I am so sorry to hear that Suzy is sick today. We will miss her at practice but hope she recovers quickly!”
Sign every email with your name: ie. Xxxxxx
Bears Cheerleading

This will help establish rapport with customers and help staff to know who was helping with a particular question or client

Take action as required. Ie. Notify coaches of absences, record changes to the ACE schedule in the ACE binder, adjust accounts (drop dates, enrollment etc) as required. Rarely there may be an occasion where you are unable to action a particular email (ie. Addressed to a specific staff member that you absolutely cannot help with). In this case, make sure that you mark the email as unread by clicking the 4th icon to the top of the gmail tool bar (an envelope). When you hover above this icon it will say “mark as unread”. You must then make a note on the COI Desk Divas page

Only after you have replied to the client and taken action on the request can you file the email in the appropriate folder (as described above). Under no circumstance may an email be added to a folder without being actioned first. Absolutely every email must be filed appropriately, the only emails in the inbox should be those that have not yet been addressed.
