MAKING THE TEAM
The Tryouts…
The Blinn Cheer Program will host a number of
tryout sessions each spring to asses the skills,
abilities and potential of interested and qualified
candidates for the various cheer squads and positions.
Tryout sessions are intended to be low stress
events. For that reason they are conducted in
a practice-like environment during which the
level of each candidate’s skills and talents,
and their ability to work with current and prospective
team members, will be evaluated. A short interview
with the candidate may be conducted at anytime
during the sessions.
We will have 3 open practices, and you may attend all three or just one. You will need to email
Karry Forsythe in order attend these sessions.
