Evaluation Focus
Evaluation Focus
Tryouts for SCCA are an opportunity for athletes to showcase their skills and be placed on a team that best fits their abilities. During tryouts, we will focus on stunting, motions, jumps, and tumbling—the core elements of our routines. Athletes will work with coaches to demonstrate proper technique, sharp and precise motions, controlled and powerful jumps, and their current level of tumbling. Stunting evaluations will help determine flyer, base, and backspot positions based on skill, strength, and experience. No matter your level, we encourage all athletes to try out, as we look for potential and a strong work ethic just as much as skill. Our goal is to create well-rounded teams where every athlete can grow, improve, and contribute to a successful competition season.

Tumbling Skills Development
Tumbling Skills Development
If your aspiration is to compete at the Varsity level when you become eligible, improving your tumbling abilities becomes increasingly critical. The Varsity squad requires a minimum of a tuck from all team members. If you aren't already enrolled in tumbling lessons, we highly recommend that you consider them. Such lessons will help you enhance your standing and running tumbling abilities and prepare you for the more competitive levels of cheerleading as you grow older. It can take years to master advanced tumbling skills.

Fundraising
Fundraising
We would like to do fundraising to help pay for uniforms, choreography, and music. A few years ago, we were successfully able to pay for uniforms, music, and choreography without putting any money out of pocket, and we have been able to cover choreography and music the past few years without collecting any money out of pocket.
