Cheerleader - Requirements Cheerleader Requirements Cheerleaders at Itawamba Community College are more than morale boosters for the football and basketball teams. They are public relations persons who are asked to meet the public at different times, and they represent the whole student body at different functions. Cheerleaders are selected to serve one year by a panel of judges from outside the institution. Once a student is selected as a cheerleader, then said student will be eligible for four semesters as a cheerleader, or until the completion of the current school year. Students who drop below 12 semester hours credit or do not maintain a 2.00 grade point average are immediately ineligible for further participation.
Cheerleaders are responsible to the cheerleader sponsor.
In the event a cheerleader who is trying out for the second season of participation is injured before tryouts and has an authorized excuse from a medical doctor, it will be left to the discretion of the cheer sponsor as to whether the student is placed on the squad automatically based on the injury. If the cheer candidate has previously tried out for cheerleader at Itawamba Community College, then said student's scores from previous years' tryouts shall be used in place of this year's tryout scores.
