The stunting portion is usually varied from year to year depending on the skill level of those trying out. Coaches will teach basic stunts that can be used for the tryout. Potential cheerleaders may work on or use things they already know during clinic but it must be seen at the clinics by a coach before it will be allowed to be used in tryouts. We are working toward competition style routines and dance is an important part of these routines. Dancing is also utilized during time-outs to grab the attention of our crowd.
Creativity is a plus.
Tumbling is a plus but is not mandatory. It is considered a bonus for tryouts. We do this so that people that have the strength and ability to be good cheerleaders but have never had the proper training or do not have a body structure to tumble are not penalized. We are also looking for men to join the squad. They provide great strength and a new level of difficulty to our stunting.
