-Higher Level Stunting: Strong stunting ability, knowledge, and experience are highly preferred.

-Higher Level Tumbling: Advanced tumbling skills and technique are highly considered.

-Attitude, Effort, and Commitment: Athletes who show leadership, positivity, and dedication to improvement are invaluable to the success of JV and Varsity.

Note on skill consideration: Tumbling and stunting ability are not required to tryout. However, these skills will be taken into account when determining team placement based on level requirements and the overall skill ratio of competing athletes.
