Tryout/Evaluation

Through experience and innovation, SCV has led the way in a new and successful tryout process whereby we do not hold TRYOUTS as traditionally viewed.  Instead, we will be accepting applications for All Star teams on an ongoing basis, and beginning May 15th, evaluation-team practices will take place. 

For the month of May, SCV will have 2-practices per week, for 2 hours each, that all registered cheerleaders will attend.  We are convinced that this process results in an improved opportunity for all athletes to demonstrate their skills and work ethic - eventually enhancing the make-up of all SCV All Star teams.

Athlete Evaluations   It is during these practice sessions that the SCV Staff will evaluate and work with each athlete on relevant tumbling skills, cheer technique, and Overall Work Ethic. During this time, athletes meet the SCV staff and new friendships are formed with other athletes. SCV All-Star applicants will range greatly in ability level.  As in the past, we will have teams for beginners as well as up to and including elite cheerleaders.  If you are new to our program, please know that the new season places everyone on an equal playing field.  Athletes transferring from other gyms are eagerly welcomed and each applicant is viewed equally. SCV will announce summer practice group placements no later than May 31st.

Summer Practice Group Schedule -   Begins June 3, 2019.  The Summer Practice Group schedule will be released in late May along with Summer Group assignments. It has long been our requirement, that if an SCV Cheerleader is in town, they should be at practice.  Once school goes back into session, or mid-August, such activities are no longer an excused absence. Any situation contrary to this policy, will be handled by the All-Star Director on an individual basis. 

NOTE: Unexcused absences will impact an athletes team placement, as well as their placement within their teams choreographed performance routine.
