Each athlete will attend a 30-minute time spot based on the grade they are going into. Athletes will wear white shoes, an all black athletic outfit, a bow with low curled ponytail, and red lipstick. 30 minute tryout will include: Effort & Coachability, Jump lines (double toe touch & pike) Tumbling skill of choice, Tryout cheer. 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. Team placements will be emailed by the coaches the week following.
