| Tryouts for the ICC are held twice a year. The main tryout is in the Spring for the next academic year. The fall tryout is held during the first few weeks or school. Our tryout is a fair and equal process. There are no outside judges; the squad is picked primarily by the coach. The tryout process is very relaxed and low key. The idea is to facilitate the absolute best performance from each and every person attending. We are looking for cheerleaders who show mastery of basic cheer skill (jumps, motions, tumbling and dance) and demonstrate ABILITY OR POTENTIAL to improve. We have no limit on how many we will take, but rather we simply take the highest average standard above our minimum requirements from the pool of girls trying out.We would like to keep 35 girls in the program annually. YOU are responsible for your opportunity to tryout for what could be the most amazing part of your college years. We strongly recommend that you be at the tryout in person or make every effort to make arrangements well in advanced. Late request, videos or last minute arrangements do reflect on your overall interest/dedication and responsibility level and could potentially prevent your success in the tryout process. |
