Georgia Northwestern Preparing To Hold Cheer Cat Tryouts

  • Monday, January 30, 2017
The Georgia Northwestern Cheer Cats will hold two tryout dates for any current or incoming Georgia Northwestern student wishing to be a part of the squad for the 2017-2018 school year.

The first tryout will be held on Saturday, March 18, from 10 a.m.-12 p.m., while the second tryout will be held on Saturday, April 22, from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Both will be held at the Rossville Athletic Center (301 Williams Street).

For those who cannot make the tryouts, a private audition can be arranged.

At the tryouts, each participant will be required to perform a series of jumps, including toe touch, double toe touch, pike and hurdler form, which will be judged on form, technique and height.

Participants must perform two previously-known chants (using "Bobcats" in the chants), three times each.
Participants will be judged on knowledge of chants, sharpness of motions, motion technique and crowd appeal.

Participants must perform a previously-known cheer dance that will be judged on knowledge of dance, motions, flow and crowd appeal.

Participants must perform two of their best stunts, which will be judged on knowledge of stunts, form and technique.

Participants must also show off their best standing and running tumbling moves. They will judged on form and technique. Advanced tumbling is not required, but more advanced tumbling will be awarded more points.

Participants will also be interviewed and asked about their strengths as a cheerleader and their motivation for trying out for the Cheer Cat squad.
