2020 - 2021 TMS Cheer Tryout Material

  • Tryout Specifics

    On Tryout Day - 

    Tryouts will be held in the small auxillary gym at the new THS. 

     

    All athletes should arrive at the time given to them in clinic.

    All athletes will be dropped off and picked up at the arena.

    Candidates will be allowed to warm up in the arena prior to their tryout.   

    Parents are not permitted to enter any THS building during tryouts.  As soon as a candidate finishes their tryout, they will be dismissed to leave THS.  We will not be able to post results if athletes are still on THS property.
