Tryouts are quickly approaching, and we are very excited to dive into next season! Our goal is to create a a very connected team environment where challenges, successes, and real life experiences are supported and celebrated by one another.

We believe that the success of our team comes from empowering our athletes to become leaders both on & off the mat. Those who thrive at Owyhee understand and value hard work, communication, and commitment to the team.

Cheerleading is a year round commitment, and you will need to dedicate a lot of your time to it! From practices, camps, games, and competitions, it requires a lot from both athletes and parents.

We are looking for the best all-around athletes to create our team. Athletes will be judged on jumps, tumbling, stunting, dance & cheer choreography, their letters of recommendation & GPA.

While there are no specific skill requirements for Varsity placement, there are more points available on the score sheet for higher level skills. I would encourage everyone trying out to refine skills, stay in shape, and really focus on their academics prior to tryouts.

Our official tryouts are Wednesday May 7th. These are closed tryouts. Athletes will perform skills and choreography in front of judges and coaches only. No parents or spectators allowed.

Athletes should look the part of an Owyhee Storm Cheerleader. Wearing a black tank or t-shirt, black shorts, cheer or athletic shoes with hair securely pulled back with a bow is required, along with our "Gameday Makeup" look of lashes, blush & a red lip.

Team selection & announcements will be shared the evening of the 7th!

We jump right into team workouts & practices starting May 14th. Athletes can expect 3 practices per week that include time in the weight room, plus a team tumbling class over the summer. Team calendars will be shared with parents and athletes at our first parent meeting on May 8th.

There is a financial commitment for athletes of Owyhee Cheer. Families can prepare to invest between $1500-$2000 per athlete. This provides practice wear, bags, weather gear, shoes, camp, etc. Parents will get an expense breakdown at the pre-tryout meeting April 25th, and the full amount will be due at the first parent meeting Thursday May 8th. If you are unable to pay the full amount at the first meeting -reach out! Email me to discuss payment options.

If you have any questions about tryouts, season expectations, etc, please email me at Haskins.madeleine@westada.org

We look forward to meeting you all & see you at tryouts!
