2013 Tryouts

WOW- I can not believe it is that time of year- but it is.  The 2013/2014 CVHS Co-ed Team Tryouts will be in late March or first week of April.  Dates tba.  However, for those interested in the varsity level, please note the following:

1. Varsity must have a GREAT foundation of jumps: Toe touch, herky, pike, hurdler, and combination of
2. NOT having a clean standing tuck is not even an option.  YOU MUST have this skill to be considered.  It will be integrated into a cheer.  If you are not strong enough to PERFORM a tuck, it is ok, just know you will not be placed on varsity unless it is clean and consistent.  The cheer will be performed 2x in a row so consistency is exhibited. 
3. A running pass of more than a round off back handspring will be required.  An aerial skill must be a part of the running pass.  Again, clean and above average execution will be required.
4. Be a cheerleader/yell leader.  You must be heard and able to lead a crowd to cheer.  If you can not do this, you will not make the varsity level.
5. You will be required to run a mile non-stop for tryouts.  Time limits will be given.
6. All candidates must be willing to base or fly when asked.  No exceptions.  NO ONE is guaranteed a spot in fying or basing.  It is a team sport, and you will be placed where the team needs you.  If this is something that is not acceptable, please do not tryout for varsity.
7. Have a smile and positive attitude. 
8. Participate in all community service projects and fundraisers.  If you do not have the time, it is ok, but do not participate on a varsity level.

I hope this helps everyone understand the expectations for the upcoming year.  If only 12 girls/guys meet the requirements, that is who will be considered.  Max allowed on varsity is 25.  The goal is 25, but ONLY IF ALL ABOVE SKILLS ARE ABOVE AVERAGE.  Our goal is to be the best cheer team in Colorado for our school, community, and selves. 
Best of luck to all- please contact Coach Heather with questions-
