The LZHS 2014-2015 Cheerleaders will be chosen by the coaching staff with the assistance of independent specialty consultants. The number of individuals on each team will be determined by the coaches. There is no minimum skill requirement to try-out for cheerleading, however cheerleaders are placed on a team based on the skills they bring to the position they are trying out for.

LZHS Cheerleading Try-outs


Thank you for your interest in LZHS Cheerleading! We have a strong cheerleading tradition here at Lake Zurich High School and are excited to see so many new people interested. Cheerleading is considered an IHSA sport; thus we follow the LZHS Athletic Code, and the IHSA and NFHS cheerleading rules. We currently have a Large Varsity and 2 JV teams. Team placement will be determined by skill level.
This will be a two day, all-inclusive try-out. All spots are open. Existing team member must re-tryout. Athletes will be taught a side line cheer, a short dance, jumps & stunts. Try-out will include the side line cheer, dance, tumbling, stunts and jumps. Try-outs will be in an open gym format. Teacher/coach evaluations will be considered at try –outs. All potential cheerleaders will have an individual photo taken upon registration. This will be attached to their try-out application and evaluations and is used to assist the coaching staff with visual recognition during the selection process.

TRY-OUT CHEAT SHEET
If you are looking for what skills to be working on, here is a little help:

TUMBLING

Tumbling is not required on JV, however it is encouraged. Standing back handsprings and Round-off back handsprings are highly recommended. Students can help their position with front and back walkovers, ariels, and back extension rolls


Tumbling is mandatory on Varsity. A standing back handspring is the minimum expected skill level. Students looking to put themselves in a better position for Varsity should look to show the following skills: Toe touch tuck, Back handspring back tuck (running and standing), Cartwheel back tuck, standing tuck, layouts, Fulls
All tumbling skills must be executed on a cheer mat, not a spring floor.

STUNTING

Girls looking to fly at the JV level should be working towards solid single leg skills. Single leg skills are not necessary to try out, however it is what you should be working towards.


Girls looking to fly at the varsity level should be prepared to execute an overstretch (bow and arrow), scale and arabesque. Girls should also be prepared to Full-up, switch up, or low to high. Multi-skill baskets are encouraged.
Girls/Guys looking to base or back at the varsity level should be prepared to execute elite level basing skills…full-ups, low to high’s, switch ups, single base skills, and multiple stunt reloads.

JUMPS

Everyone should be prepared to execute a single toe-touch, a double toe touch, a double 9, a pike and a front hurdler. Those looking to reach the varsity level should be working for inverted toe-touches, double 9’s and pikes that are level to the ground, and hurdlers that are at a 45 degree angle. Jump/tumble combinations are encouraged at the varsity level.

These are some of the skills that we will be looking at as we access each candidate. Each individual is unique and will bring a unique set of skills with them. One skill does not make or break a candidate. This is intended as a guide to help you better prepare for try-outs.
