WHAT TO EXPECT forCOLLEGE CHEERLEADING
Transitioning from your high school or all star cheer squad to college cheerleading can bechallenging. College cheerleading has many different aspects, so know what to expect with our college cheerleading guide.
TRYING OUT FOR COLLEGE CHEERLEADING
Every college will have a set tryout date each year, although the cheerleader auditions andrequirements vary from school to school. Be prepared to make a weekend trip to the college of your choice, as most schools will schedule tryout activities on both Saturday and Sunday. The judges want to have ample opportunity to evaluate your skills and fit on the team.Tryouts for college cheerleading are much different than high school cheerleader auditions. Incollege cheerleading, skills are the main focus. Rather than performing a cheer, dance and toe-touch in front of a panel of judges as you would in high school, most colleges will require acertain level of stunt and tumbling ability. Expect the judges to want to see you stunt, tumble and jump as a large part of their scoring. College cheerleading tryouts are more about observing youin a practice environment, rather than a performance.Be in the moment. Be ready to meet new people and friends at the college cheerleading tryout. Acooperative attitude and upbeat personality will also rub off on the judges’ assessment of your ability to fit in on the team.
OFF TO COLLEGE CAMP
College Cheerleading Camp will also be a big change from your previous high school cheer camp experiences. College camp is more laid back, but don’t think the campers aren’t there towork on their skills and compete to impress. Instead of chanting in a spirited group down to breakfast, expect to join in stunt challenges, meet talented athletes from other schools and learnfrom their traditions, practices and programs.
