Spirit Cheerleading

Squad membership will be determined on the quality of their skills during tryouts. 

• • Practice and prepare for tryouts. 

  • Spirit cheerleaders are what we are looking for! Those who can engage the crowd (judges) will score infinitely better than those not prepared or lacking enthusiasm. 

Tumbling is NOT a requirement to tryout. 

• • We ask that EACH girl does some type of tumbling. It is full 10 points on the judges sheet. 

  • If your only skill is a cartwheel - do the BEST cartwheel you can do! 

  • Do not push yourself to do a terrible back handspring bust. A higher score will be awarded to the skills that are clean, sharp and polished. 

  • Any tumbling done at tryouts MUST be a skill maintained throughout the season. 

    • Ex. Do not get a tuck for tryouts and then loose it over the summer. 

Jumps 

• Middle School - Required to do three jumps, these do not need to be connected. 

• JV/Varsity - Required to do three jumps CONNECTED, with one being a toe touch.
