Tryouts are complete for the '25-'26 school year! The tryout clinics and the tryout week was a huge success! Thanks to everyone who attended!
Interested in the future? We are interested in ATHLETES who are committed to pushing the cheer program forward. We are specifically looking for athletes who will cheer both fall and winter - it is not possible to commit to cheerleading and play a fall and/or winter Varsity sport. Cheerleading is a year long endeavor because of the program's need for stunt groups which stay consistent. Our cheer program is open to sophomore - senior enrolled students.
◻ Attend the mandatory informational meeting in Mrs. League's room (46) during lunch in April 2026. Application forms will be released at the March clinic if present, and to all others at this meeting.
◻ Current physical form (to be current through your cheer season submitted to Mrs. McIntyre - you cannot attend tryouts without this form on file)
◻ Tryout application turned into Mrs. League due in April 2026 - TBD.
◻ Attend tryout practices in the gym Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday in April TBD
◻ Attend the formal tryout Thursday in April TBD between 6-8:00pm - individual times will be given to help with spring games/meets, etc.(video submissions are not accepted, it must be in person)
◻ Attend a brief 5-10 minute interview with Coach Taryn, Coach Cia and current senior cheerleaders (these times will be assigned and you will be given a slot before one of the tryout practices)
◻ You must be a current freshman, sophomore or junior and ENROLLED for the '26-'27 school year. We do not have spots for incoming freshmen.
◻ Have and maintain a minimum 2.8 GPA in the previous grading period and cumulative with NO failed classes (per WIAA regulations) although strong students will be more heavily considered because of the time commitment of cheer.
◻ Grades, attendance and discipline records will be checked.
◻ FIVE teacher feedback forms from CURRENT teachers (NOT your counselor). You are responsible for sending them the Google form WITH ENOUGH TIME for them to complete it. The completed forms are due in April TBD.
◻ We are looking for positive attitudes and members who will create an environment where members are uplifted and encouraged and not disparaged or talked about.
Tryout results will be emailed after school on Friday TBD.

◻ Commit to assigned practices and clinics starting in May and June (after school/evening) and summer from July 6th - August 21st, 2026 (typically we practice T-Th from 8:00am-9:30am or it might be T & Wed from 8:00-10:00am - depends on the week) and during the school year (2-3 times per week). Must attend a minimum of practices this summer in order to cheer in the fall.
