Tryout Information and Requirements
Tryouts are held in the spring. In order to try out you must:
Contact the coach
Be enrolled at St. John's University
Have proof of insurance.
Have an approved University Physical (You must contact the St. John's University nurse's office in Newman Hall for information). You must then have your physical (attn. cheerleading) forwarded to the training room in Alumni Hall (attn. Ron Linfonte) at least two days prior to tryouts.
Prospective team members are required to attend two tryout clinics where they will learn the required material and are judged on stunts, attitude, and participation.
Currently, requirements consist of a learned cheer and dance, as well as a stunting clinic. All female members must be able to execute a standing back handspring. All male members must possess good physical strength, prior tumbling and stunting knowledge are a plus.
During the clinic you will also participate in a one-on-one interview with the head coach. Tryout requirements are subject to change as skill level increases in the program.
If you are interested in cheering for St. John's or have any further questions please contact Coach Brown at Cheerredstorm@aol.com.
