Cheer Sacramento 2012 Tryouts - Round 2

Calling all cheerleaders, dancers and gymnasts!  Cheer Sacramento is holding a clinic and tryouts for the 2012 season! 

The clinic is from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, February 22, 2012 at The Bounce Spot in West Sacramento (2939 Promenade Street, West Sacramento, CA 95691).  Tryouts will begin at 8:45 p.m. 

Cheer Sacramento has been actively involved in the Sacramento community since 1999.  Cheer Sacramento performs and fundraises at various community events, including Sacramento Pride, the Susan G. Komen “Race for the Cure” and the California International Marathon.  The team has even been in a Coca-Cola commercial.

When attending tryouts, participants should wear red and black work-out clothes and athletic shoes – cheer shoes are preferred – and bring water.  Participants will learn a routine that will include a dance, stunting and jumps. Additionally, there will be a short interview.  The cost to tryout is $20.  This includes the clinic, tryout fee and a t-shirt.

Anyone who is 17 years old and up is welcome to try out for the team.  We are looking for committed cheerleaders, dancers and gymnasts to add to the team.  Current members range in age from 18 to 35.  There is no age maximum for the team; however, members must be in good physical shape as cheerleading is a very active sport.
