Tips & Warnings
The Pro Spirit team is looking for energy, sharp movements, timing, showmanship and the ability to move with the music, along with strength and flexibility.
If you are trying out for level 5, you and your parents must attend a parent meeting before tryouts.
Competitive cheerleading is very demanding in terms of time and physical ability and
can also be very expensive.
