If you filled out our tryout interest form for cheerleading next school year you might of noticed we added a new addition called Game Day Competition.
What is Game Day? Game Day, as opposed to a Traditional competition routine, has a greater emphasis on crowd leading. The routine is composed of a band chant, offense/defense chant, cheer, followed by our fight song. (Good examples to watch can be found by searching @milforhs_cheer on IG or “Springboro Game Day Cheer” on YouTube. These are programs that we WILL compete against.) Expectations Respect There must be a mutual respect between athlete and coach for this season to be successful. As a coach, our expectation of you is that if we ask you to do something, you will execute it to the best of your ability with no complaints. As an athlete, you should expect that we as coaches will not ask you to participate in extraneous activities that have no benefit to you, or the team. More importantly, there needs to be a mutual respect between the athletes. Not only do you need to respect each other’s skill, but also have respect for each other as people. Timeliness We will not waste your time, and we expect the same from you. If practice starts at 6PM, the mats should be unrolled, and you should be stretched by this time. (Our expectation is that a senior will lead stretches, jumps, and a tumbling warm-up prior to a coach formally starting practice.) Commitment Practices cannot be mandatory until August 1st per OHSAA rules. However, we WILL have practices immediately following tryouts (at LEAST 3 times per week). This is because many of our competitors already have teams and routines at this point. While these practices are NOT mandatory, it is highly recommended that if you make the team, you are in attendance as we will be teaching the routine, working on team tumbling, and conditioning. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LEARNING ANY MATERIAL YOU HAVE MISSED! Once the season starts, we will maintain AT LEAST 3 practices per week (NOT including tumbling). However, leading up to big competitions (such as the Spirit Championship, OCCs, and States), expect the number of practices to increase. It is important to remember that competition is an extra! This means that if you make a sideline team, you may not make the competition squad. While it is meant to be fun, we still want to remember that we are competing to win!!! It’s also important to keep in mind that this is our first year competing Game Day and our first competition squad since the 2016-17 season. We (the coaches) are learning how this will work, just like you! Team Culture Our goal is to build an environment that encourages hard work, fun, and friendship. For this season to be successful, you all must bond with each other and feel comfortable enough to push each other. While competing, it will be you and your 16 other teammates on the mat. It is important that you can count on each other to execute your respective parts. Tumbling Requirements Back handsprings are MANDATORY, standing tucks are preferred. We will have mandatory tumbling for all members of the program. If you are placed on the competition team, it is MANDATORY that you are in tumbling the duration of our season (regardless of your sideline team selection). (During competitions, we will ONLY THROW STANDING TUCKS. However, we will offer a limited number of sign and flag spots to those with back handsprings.)

Fundraising I just wanted to check in and make sure everyone has received a fundraising packet from Foertmeyer & Sons. The fundraiser ends next week on Thursday October 28th. All ordering can be done online and it is preferred that way you do not have to collect money. Your child's web sale code can be found on the envelope. Please encourage your child to sell at least 10 items. This is a goal for each cheerleader in the program. They make great gifts for teachers, friends and family. The orders will be delivered to Pickerington Central at the end of November and beginning of December. The date will be announced specifically later. This can be a completely cashless fundraiser but if you sell to someone in person, payments are due at the time of sale. Website: https://www.fundraiseit.org General code for the program:10A436 If your child was at jr high tryouts tonight the video of the cheer and dance is posted. Tryouts will be Wednesday October 13th at 6:00pm @ Ridgeview JH. To tryout you must be enrolled on Final Forms (all papers signed by parent & student), have an updated OHSAA Physical and a cheer contract signed by parent & student.
Tryouts-Cheerleaders must wear a plain white t-shirt and black/gray or purple shorts. No jewelry, hair must be completely out of the face/up and nails need to be regulation length/color. If your child makes a team you will receive a phone call. If they do not make a team you will receive an email. We encourage anyone to try again next year and please wait one full week before contacting coaching staff to allow emotions to settle. This is a unique situation as our summer tryout did not have enough interest to fulfill a full team so we are adding to an already selected team so please understand spots are limited. We are so excited at the interest tonight and we wish you all the best of luck! PHSC & RJHS Cheerleading Staff We will be having cheerleading tryouts for 7th & 8th grade on October 12-13, 2021 at Ridgeview Junior High.
