The Junior Varsity is set up so that people new to cheerleading can gain some experience before they present themselves in front of a crowd. The learning curve is usually very high, and it is no problem to be moved to the Varsity squad. There are some basic stunt requirements for the Varsity team. This year it is a liberty, an extension full down, and an optional stunt. Jumps and Gymnastics are also a part of tryouts and can only add to your score.
Toss stunts add to difficulty as well as full downs from stunts.
The optional stunt is one in which you can gain points for difficulty, execution, ability, and overall stunting ability. To see a few of these please visit the Stunts page. Finally one of the most important part of Tryouts is the interview. We do a lot of public relations type of work, and it is important to see how well you perform on a social level. We meet all sorts of people ranging from Senators and Congressmen, to the President, to Medal of Honor recipients to POWs.
