Competitive Cheerleading Tryouts Tryouts for the competitive teams will not be held until Fall 2011, but here is a list of skills we would like to see. Varsity We can take a maximum of 24 team members, with a maximum of 20 competing. Tumbling: A minimum of a double toe touch flip flop and round off flip flop is required for all varsity team members. Preference will be given to individuals performing standing back tucks/flip flop tucks, and a running series with a back tuck, layout, or full. Stunting: Flyers must be able to demonstrate flexibility to perform a heel stretch, aerobesque, scale, and scorpion. They must also demonstrate at least a single twist down cradle. Bases and backspots must demonstrate their ability to perform their role in each of these stunts with a variety of partners. Preference will be given to individuals performing double downs from multiple single leg stunts, bow and arrows (over stretch), and needles. Jumps: All varsity members should execute jumps with excellent technique: toes pointed, arms sharp, height, legs even with the floor, chest up, and landing with feet together. Preference will be given to individuals performing inverted jumps. Motions: All varsity members should demonstrate motions with sharpness and precision. They should also be able to learn a fast motions sequence fairly quickly. Preference will be given to individuals with exceptional performance qualities. WE EXPECT TO HAVE ALL OF OUR COMPETING MEMBERS PERFORMING THE PREFERENCE LEVEL SKILLS IN OUR ROUTINE. PERFORMING MINIMUM LEVEL SKILLS AT TRYOUTS DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT YOU WILL MAKE VARSITY. PLEASE FOCUS ON DEVELOPING HIGHER LEVEL SKILLS. JV We can take a maximum of 24 team members, with a maximum of 20 competing members. There are no minimum requirements for JV. However, all individuals trying out will be judged in comparison with individuals trying out for a similar stunting position. Potential is incredibly important. We would like to see that you are either working towards the minimum varsity requirements or meeting them. Only freshmen and sophomores will be considered for JV. Questions on what you can do to raise your skills to this level? Please contact Mrs. Corcoran, Ms. Presta, or Ms. Greco. |
