Tryouts

Cheerleaders interested in the 2027-2028 team will be selected through video evaluations. Videos will be evaluated on a monthly basis, and students will be offered a spot on the roster or invited to an in-person tryout for further evaluation.
 
Complete this Tryout Form to submit a video.

Video Evaluation Requirements:
Your skills should showcase strong execution of motion technique, showmanship, and enthusiasm.

  • 1 cheer
  • 1 sideline dance
  • 3 jumps: 1 toe touch and 2 advanced jumps of your choice (pike, front hurdler, side hurdler, any double/triple jump, etc.)
  • OPTIONAL -Tumbling  (Back handspring and higher that you can execute on a dead mat/track)
  • OPTIONAL- Any videos with you stunting in a group.


Video Guidelines:

  • Choose an area that provides adequate space for your tryout (preferably at a gym, studio, practice facility, or space that is clear from obstructions/distractions.)
  • The camera angle should be straight in front of you and not cut off any part of your performance.
  • If you include stunting, please be sure to identify what role you are demonstrating.
  • Dress neatly with a t-shirt, shorts, socks, and cheerleading shoes. All hair, if long enough, should be up. No jewelry.
