We judge stunting ability during learning clinics. Tryout Tips: We are looking for strong effort, energy, coachability, ability to lead a crowd, and a positive attitude. Cheerleaders must be passionate about cheerleading both inside and outside of practice. Cheerleaders are not expected to have material 100% memorized, but should be able to demonstrate the majority of it, and know what is being asked. All required material will be taught at the learning camps. Please note divisions are very competitive, and team placements will be as well.
