Can my athlete get help from coaches on tryout material?

The only time cheerleaders will be able to get points and tips from coaches is during the Pre-Tryout

Clinic that will be on June 21 st . It is highly encouraged to attend this clinic but it is not

required! This is an opportunity where cheerleaders can come in before tryouts and ask any questions about material.

During this clinic we will stunt and tumble as well to get a good look of who will be trying out. Lessons and tips will not be offered by coaches to

teach cheerleaders material.

What to Expect:

Material & Skills assessment:

Athletes will be asked to perform the cheer and dance that was provided prior to tryouts as well as jumps, kicks, and tumbling.

Stunt assessment:

Athletes will be evaluated based on their stunt abilities. Be ready to try new things and positions!

At TSD we are looking for:

Performance: Energy, enthusiasm, smiles, and ability to engage the audience.

Teamwork: Ability to work well with others, communication, and leadership.

Learning ability: Speed and accuracy in learning routines and skills.

Overall attitude: Positive attitude, confidence, being coachable, and commitment.

Safety Disclosure:

TSD Coaches

How It Works

What is Rec Comp Cheer

TSD Coaches have a history of running successful rec cheer squads. They are First Aid/CPR certified. WIAA stunt certified, USA Cheer certified, USASF certified, NFHS certified & NAYS certified members of WSCCA. Background check cleared.

Our Mission

How It Works

Our mission is to emphasize and teach the importance of safety, discipline, stunting, hard work and dedication. Our goal is for you to become amazing athletes and performers. We also focus on 'Champion' conduct off the mat as well. Although our ultimate goal is to make each team competitive, we truly strive to teach our athletes lifelong lessons in leadership, teamwork, loyalty and helping others. At TSD athletes build confidence, create friendships, and learn the value of teamwork and determination as they work together to achieve their goals. We think you ll fall in love with this energetic, high-flying, competitive sport! Since TSD Cheer is a competitive team sport, a commitment is required from both the athlete and their family to ensure the athlete is able to attend team practices, performances, and competitions.

How It Works

TSD Cheer teams will be formed through a team placement process, with the goal of creating the most competitive teams for the season. The placement process takes into account individual tumbling, stunting, jump, and dance skills, along with the maturity and work ethic of the athlete and the specific needs of the team. During evaluations, athletes will demonstrate their tumbling, jumps, dance, and stunting skills. Athletes will learn a short dance to assess their ability to learn choreography and perform with precise timing, sharp motions, and enthusiasm.
