Thanks for your interest in joining the EYHS Football (Jr. H, HS) Cheerleading Squad. Here is some information about this season that you need to know.
Tryouts will be May 30th 2019
Lists will be available here, on our website
WHAT TO WEAR TO TRYOUTS:
If you have cheerleading shoes, wear them (with socks). Otherwise, wear athletic shoes. Hair should be worn up neatly. You should look the part! On the final tryout day, you need to be wearing a plain t-shirt with black shorts, cheer or athletic shoes, white socks, hair up, and no bow. No jewelry of any kind at any time!!
Now, at the tryouts themselves, we recommend a few pointers for doing well:
- Be sure that you warm up. You may be so nervous or excited that you don't take the time to stretch properly or to get your blood pumping, but be sure you do so. This is a good time to visualize the moves in your head, and to focus on your breathing, which will calm your nerves.
- Be enthusiastic.
- Make eye contact with the judges. It's tempting to stare into the middle distance so that you are not distracted by external things, but again, cheerleading involves making a connection with the crowd. A great way to do that is to look people in the eye.
- Smile. This is key!
- Be loud. That doesn't mean shrieking or screaming, but project from your stomach. You'll have to be heard above a noisy crowd, so work on your projection.
- Have fun!
Can’t wait to meet you at tryouts!
