• Participation Forms with emergency contact information must be completed on or prior to participating in try-out clinic or try outs.

If a student is only participating in try outs, the Participation Form is due before or upon the arrival of the first day of try outs, Monday, May 6th. This document can also be dropped off at the Eagle High School front office or emailed to murphy.francesca@westada.org. If you fail to turn in the Participation Form, you will be unable to participate in try-out clinic or try outs - no exceptions.  

• 8th grade girls need to have a IHSAA physical exam prior to tryouts (but not before May 1st). Please go to the Health Examination & Consent Form link under Documents at the top of the page. For 2024 tryouts, please print this document to be completed by a physician prior to participation. Documents will need to be uploaded to Aktivate (more information will be provided).

  reasonable fee.

  Primary Health, (208) 939-8200 - Eagle Location Cost is $45 and is a walk-in appointment only.

Cheer try outs are right around the corner and the EHS cheer coaches are excited to start a new season! Our goal is to keep cheerleading fun; however, it requires a lot of time and dedication throughout the year.  This level of commitment is not for everyone – please read the information below so you can decide if this is something you can do prior to trying out.  

Cheer, tumbling, jumps and dance choreography will be taught the first two nights of try outs. Students will be judged on those skills on the evening of May 8th. For the night of judging (May 8th), students should wear black shorts, a solid white t-shirt, and cheer or athletic shoes. Hair should be worn in a secure ponytail.   

Once the 2024-2025 teams are announced, we will start to practice June 24th and go throughout the rest of summer break.  Attendance is very important.  During summer practices, you will learn cheers, stunts, and choreography to be prepared for fall sporting events and the pre-competition season. During the 2024-2025 season, you can expect to be practicing or cheering at games most nights of the week. EHS cheerleaders cheer for football, boys’ and girls’ basketball, and spend a lot of time preparing for the competition season. 

Cheerleading is a year-round sport. Being part of the EHS cheer program will take a substantial amount of time. Cheerleaders will not be allowed to miss practices. Each cheerleader will be given 5 personal days for the whole season. Appointments, jobs, and vacations must be worked around the cheer schedule. An Absence Request Form is on the EHS Cheer website. 

Participating in cheerleading is a financial commitment – a family can anticipate spending between $1,500-$2,000 per cheerleader.  This money will include cheer gear, summer camp, stunt camp, clinics, specialized training, summer tumbling, and more.  We are still planning the season - a final dollar amount will be shared at the pre-try out meeting. The amount will be due in full at our post-try out meeting Friday, May 9th. If you are unable to pay in full at this meeting, please reach out to me for payment options. 

Each cheerleader will be required to participate in fundraising and recruiting of sponsorships. Parent participation will also be necessary to facilitate fundraising events throughout the summer and school year.  

If you have any questions regarding try outs or the cheer program, please reach out to me at murphy.francesca@westada.org. The team will be announced via West Ada student email the night of May 8th. On behalf of Coach McCall, Coach Anna, and myself, we look forward to meeting you and having an amazing season. 

Go Mustangs!
