The Elementary Cheer team is designed for grades 2-5 and is focused on fostering development in the sport of cheerleading. Previous cheer/gymnastics/dance experience helps but is not mandatory. The season runs from September - February. Practices are on Monday nights at Minnetonka Middle School East. Participants are expected to fully commit to the team and be present before signing up and becoming a member. The team will perform at school sporting events, community events, and local/state cheer competitions. *Please Note The Universal Cheer Association (UCA) states that participants must attend school within the Minnetonka district to be eligible for this Minnetonka program. To accommodate summer schedules, we are offering 2 sessions of the learning clinics. Both sessions will be the same. During the 2 days of camp, cheerleaders will learn the foundational skills of cheerleading; which consists of tumbling, stunting, jumps, and motions. Your cheerleaders will learn everything they need to know for tryouts. Cheerleaders may attend both sessions, but only 1 is required for tryouts. Tryout Day: Tryout day will be August 13th at MME Small Gym. Each athlete will attend a 30-minute time spot based on the grade they are going into. Athletes will wear white shoes, all black athletic outfit, a bow with low curled ponytail, and red lipstick. The 30 minute tryout will include: Effort & Coachability, Jump lines (double toe touch & pike) Tumbling skill of choice, and Tryout cheer. We judge stunting ability during learning clinics. Tryout Tips: We are looking for strong effort, energy, coachability, the ability to lead a crowd, and a positive attitude. Cheerleaders must be passionate about cheerleading both inside and outside of practice. Cheerleaders are not expected to have material 100% memorized but should be able to demonstrate the majority of it, and know what is being asked. All required material will be taught at the learning camps. Please note divisions are very competitive, and team placements will be as well. Team placements will be emailed by the team coaches.
