both individually and in a group setting for evaluation. ALL tryout participants will be asked to demonstrate any tumbling (standing & running) that can be

performed without a spotter. While tumbling is NOT required, it is strongly suggested and can be the determining factor for team selection.

PLEASE NOTEeach athlete age 8-14 must attend BOTH tryout/ evaluation dates. Teams will be selected based on skill ability, maturity, age, attitude, experience, and potential. We select teams to be the most competitive in each USASF level in which we (coaches and staff)

choose to compete. We do NOT guarantee level placement; however, we do attempt to place each child who chooses to

tryout.
