Comp. Requirements

Comp. parent meeting & try out dates will be at the end of August (after school starts). The first competition is in November and is the Regional Qualifier. Tryouts will be much more difficult than cheer tryouts. Being on Varsity does not guarantee a spot on the comp. team. Here are a few (not all) of the skills you'll need to showcase during tryouts:

1. Sharp, high, clean jumps (pike, toe touch, hurdler, & herkie)
2. Be able to base/back spot/fly straight to full, toe touch basket, show & go, lib/heel stretch/arabesque, and cradle (full down).
3. TONS of facials the entire time
4. High kicks
5. Be able to walk to each formation with your arms GLUED to your side


If you are missing any of these skills, talk to your coach about working on them ASAP!
