Tryouts for 2009-2010

May 11-13, 6-8pm
Kayhi Aux Gym

Who should attend: Anyone interested in cheerleading and/or stunting for the 2009-2010 school year. No experience is necessary! We are looking to have 20 girls and 4 stuntmen to make up a Varsity and JV team.

What will be covered: We will be teaching a new dance and a floor cheer. We will teach cheerleading jumps, kicks, and stunts to be performed in front of a panel of judges on the 13th. Both the dance and cheer will be new material for all in attendance and will be used during the school year at games.
What to wear: please wear a t-shirt (no tanks, baggy shirts, or long sleeves) and shorts that are not slippery materials (cotton and poly blends are best) and do not have pockets in them. Please wear spandex under your shorts for stunting. Wear gym shoes that lace tight! All hair must be secured off your shoulders and pinned back out of your eyes. No baggy clothes or sloppy hair please!

Team selection will be based on your behavior and effort level in tryouts and on the score received during the official tryout in front of the judges. Scores will be awarded based on skill, effort, and coachability. GPA will be added to your score and will effect your eligibility to be on the team.
