Varsity

Tryouts

We currently have two tryouts. Tryouts for Football are in April of the prior school year. If you are trying out for the 2008 football cheer team, tryouts will be in April 21-23 from 5-7pm in the Field house and April 24 TBA from 5 until everyone has been evaluated. The 25th is available if second cuts are necessary. You must be signed up in the Athletic office before tryouts on April 21st. The athletic office is open until 3:30pm. If you do not have a sports physical that is good through April 25th, you cannot tryout. Questions? Call the PNHS Athletic Department.

Tryouts for basketball are The end of October/begining of November. The basketball team will compete during the basketball season.

JV requirements: There are no minimum requirements for JV; however, the greater your skill level the higher your score. Tumbling skills are very valuable in competitive and sideline cheering. It is the expectation, that cheerleaders will be working on increasing skills at every level. Tumbling skill points begin at Flip Flops not cartwheels and Round-offs. Continue to work on cartwheels and Round offs; however, they do not have a point value. Begin work on your flip flop as soon as you are ready.

Varsity requirements: Varsity cheerleaders will have a minum of a Flip Flop. If we are in need of a Flyer, Base or Backspot, the tumbling requirement may be waved. The goal is to have full team tumbling; however, we will also set the team so stunts are strong as well. Flyers should be working double downs and flexibility for single leg stunts. Bases should be working on maining and seconding. Backspots working on double downs with flyers and single man stunting with bases.
