2020 Varsity Football Cheerleading Tryouts

Posted Tuesday, June 23, 2020

Tryouts for the Varsity Football Cheer Squad will be held July 13 in the Dunwoody gym. These tryouts will be for the Varsity Squad only and therefore open to all rising sophomores, juniors, and seniors. If you do not make the Varsity squad we will hold your scores until we are able to hold JV tryouts or you may tryout again. Every participant must complete and turn in to [email protected] the following forms:

Current cheer tryout packet & contract (below)
Current physical (in left menu)
Current Cardiac Arrest/Concussion form (in left menu)
County Waiver for summer participation (in left menu)
Current Insurance

These forms are all available on the Dunwoody High School website under Athletics. The cheer tryout packet is under Cheerleaders.

Once ALL forms are received you will be sent an invitation to join the tryout group on the Band app which you will need to download. We will send out a test message Thursday, July 9. If you do not receive a message by Friday the 10th at 8:00 AM, you need to notify us using [email protected].

The required information for tryouts will be sent Friday, July 10, using the Band app. It will include a chant, a dance, and jumps. There will be step by step instructions included. All participants will have until Monday to master these and practice for tryouts. Actual tryouts will be held in person in the gym. If anyone is uncomfortable coming in person or they are unable to attend, they may send in a video. Please let Coach Hard know ahead of time using the tryout gmail if you plan to send a video.

All girls coming to try out in person will be given a number and assigned an actual tryout time. Everyone will need to arrive approximately 30 minutes prior to their assigned time so that they can have their temperature checked and be cleared by the nurse. They will also have to have their own mask which they will wear when they check in with the nurse and as they come and go to actual tryouts.

Participants will enter the gym through the doors on the left side of the gym. There will be tape on the floor to ensure that the girls are spaced 6 feet apart. Judges will be 15 feet back from the girls and they will also be spaced 6 feet apart. Participants will exit the gym through the doors on the right side of the gym. Participants will stay in their car until 30 minutes prior to their assigned time.

Remember – ALL forms must be turned in before anyone will be allowed to try out. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Coach Hard using the [email protected].
