Friday April 13 from 3:40-6:30 - Big Gym

Attire for tryouts – Make sure and show your Mustang spirit

Tryout Routine  - You will try out in groups of 3

  1. Spirit in to the gym to your spot.  An X marked with tape.  Do several jumps, tumbling (flip-flop or more advanced), say multiple spirit phrases on your entrance (Ex. Go Mustangs, Go Red, Mustangs are #1)
  2. Work the crowd (the 3 judges)
  3. Smile and project your voice
  4. Once you are at your X do you best jump, clean, and get in your stance for Hey-Hey (hands on hip)
  5. Girl on the middle X will call the cheer
  6. After cheer clean (1-2), spirit with your best jump
  7. Judges may ask to see additional jumps or motions
  8. After the judges dismiss you spirit out all at the same time the same way you came in.   DO NOT RUN OUT. 
Night before tryouts
  • Practice, practice, practice
  • Watch tryout cheer on the Mustang cheer website www.mustangcheerleading.weebly.com, click on the video tab
  • I recommend writing down and practicing at least 5 different spirit phrases.  And remember cheerleaders never say “woooooo”
Tryout Results - Results will be posted Monday April 16th on the cheer board.  Results will be posted with your  tryout #.

Most importantly remember to smile and have fun.  Good luck!

Cheers,

Coach Malone & Coach Shack

Hi all,  

Just making sure you got my volunteerspot message. Our group effort is just not going to work out this week. Have your daughter bring a sack dinner to school before the game.   So we will pick this up once they start cheering in basketball season.
