to lead by example.
Physical Condition: athletes should workout outside of practice. Like working on skills or
participating in any physical activity that will benefit them in our sport of cheerleading.

showing great time management and overachieving mindsets.

improve their tumbling ability. A Varsity member should be able to perform at least a minimum

involve: twisting, inverting, or released stunts (Examples are: 180, 360, handstand press,
pancake, ball ups, etc.) A Varsity member should have or be close to holding their right/left

pike, herkie, hurdler, etc) on both right and left parallel to the floor or inverted.
Choreography, cheerleaders should be able to memorize multiple routines, cheers, stunts,
pyramids, and jumps. They should be able to remember any of these in '8-counts' as all
choreography is done with a series of '8-counts' with the exception of cheers.
