I am new to cheerleading, what are the requirements to be on the team?

There are no formal requirements to make Prospect Cheerleading. Our ideal athlete is coachable, focused on good technique, and looking to have fun. Some of our best athletes have come in with no cheerleading experience but work hard and are willing to make changes! April tryouts are in order to make the cheerleading program only. Summer camp dates are when decisions on varsity vs. jv teams will be made.

Do I need to be able to tumble to make the program?

Tumbling is not a tryout or program requirement, but it is a part of cheerleading. In order to make varsity, a clean (excellent technique) running or standing back tuck is typically required. All athletes on the cheerleading program will be expected to attend tumbling outside of cheerleading practices to work on technique and acquiring new skills.
