Tryout info for our 2025-2026 season:
Tryouts will be held Saturday, April 5th at 9 AM, with tryout / stunt workshops on Tuesday, April 1st and Thursday, April 3rd from 4-6 PM.
Videos of the tryout material is posted in our Band Tryout group. To be added to the Band Tryout group, please message this page or reach out to one of the coaches.
Tryouts will be judged on:
1 UCA dance and 1 UCA chant posted in Band Tryout group
1 Cheer you make up
2 jumps (toe touch and jump of choice)
Tumbling, both standing and running (only walkovers, BHS, tucks, etc will receive points)
Motions and overall presence in front of judges
Voice projection
any other factors applicable to cheer
We are looking for participants with good attitudes who are coachable and make good teammates. We will be observing tryouts and watching during the workshop to see how everyone interacts with each other. Who’s helping out the new person? Who’s being inclusive? Also, who’s being “bossy”, or not being part of the group?
Special emphasis will be placed on knowing the UCA material well, sharp motions, loud, and great smile/facial expressions. Work on these each time you practice!
For stunting, we’re looking for athletes that use good form and are coachable/make corrections, spot safely, are willing to learn new spots or do multiple positions.
Camp dates are June 16-19. Camp is mandatory! So please confirm your availability for those dates prior to tryouts.
