TCNJ Cheerleading Tryouts
Tryouts are held in the spring each year. All current full-time TCNJ students as well as incoming freshmen and transfer students are welcome to tryout.
Tryouts for the 2010-2011 TCNJ Cheerleading Team will be held on Saturday, May 1st and Sunday, May 2nd in the Packer Hall North Gym. Registration will begin at 9:30am each day.
The tryout will consist of an information session, tumbling and stunting clinics on Day 1. You will also be taught sidelines and a Fight Song routine to be performed in front of the judges on Day 2. The new team will be selected and announced on Day 2 followed by a brief new team meeting.
Previous cheer and/or tumbling experience is preferred, but not required. Some technical elements the judges will look for, but are not limited to:
Ground-Up Liberty, Arabesque and Heel Stretch, Full Twist Cradle, Toe Touch, Pike and Tuck Basket Tosses, Toe Touch and Pike Jumps as well as Proper Motions. Tumbling is not required, but standing back handsprings, standing tucks and running tumbling are a plus and will be counted as bonus points at tryouts.
Everyone is required to complete a consent form and submit on the morning of tryouts. Anyone under the age of 18 at the time of tryouts will be required to have a parent or guardian's signature.
