Open Gyms:
We will have 2 open gyms leading up to tryouts. These are optional and meant to serve as supervised free time to work on your skills and meet our coaches! All open gyms will be in the fishbowl at Southridge High School. The easiest way to get to the fishbowl is to park/drop off on the side of the school in front of the football field. Then walk up the paved path to the big windows and doors, you should see cheerleaders in there. The doors will be locked but we will let you in. If you go to the front of the school it will likely be locked and we do not monitor it so you can text coach Lauren at 503-332-6511 to be let in.
