Tryout FAQs:
What will we do at tryouts?
Monday Sept 9th, all material will be posted on the website for you to learn. On Friday, you will perform in groups of 4 in front of the judges for a final tryout score.
When will I find out if I made a team?
Tryout Results will be posted on the website by 12:00pm on Saturday September 14th.
If I put JV and Varsity on my application, are you going to put me on JV?
We know that everyone’s top team is Varsity. However, if you only select varsity as a 9-11th grader, and do not score high enough for that team, you run the risk of not cheering at all. We highly encourage you to put all teams you are eligible for. (Reminder: 12th grade students are only eligible for Varsity.)
Do I have to have tumbling experience to be a cheerleader?
No – but it's always a great bonus!
Can I quit after tryouts?
Tryouts are a grueling process, and people WILL get cut. If you tryout, it is assumed that you are committing to the entirety of the season at that point. If you decide you didn't make the team you wanted and you don’t want to cheer, you have taken the spot of someone who really wanted it. So please be 100% sure you are committed BEFORE tryouts start.
Can I play another winter/spring sport with basketball cheer?
Yes, but please indicate that on your application so we can make sure we can work out a schedule with the other coach.
If you think of any other questions, please feel free to send Coach B an email at katie.birkhead@gcpsk12.org!
