TRYOUT DATES/TIMES:

At Cheer Omega, we believe that each child has strengths that may not always be showcased in a group evaluation setting. For this reason, we are holding private evaluations for our 2015-2016 season. This gives us time to get to know each athlete and their parents. Evaluations will be conducted during the week of November 2-7th with November 7th being a drop in evaluation date for our Half Season Teams. Evaluations are conducted with a Cheer Omega staff member and then a brief parent meeting with each family will follow. We believe in having an open line of communication with families, and that communication will begin as soon as your child begins his or her journey with us. Cheer Omega was created to be a place for EVERY athlete to realize and reach their true potential. Email us at CheerOmegaGym@gmail.com to be added to our half season email list!

Q: What competitions do we attend?

A: Competition Schedule is located at the back of this packet. Please note that competitions may be added or removed.

Q: How do you select teams?

A: We select teams to be the most competitive in each level. We base these placements on physical

ability (jumps, stunts, tumble, motions, etc.), as well as past cheer experience. We do not believe in pushing kids too fast for skills or a level that they are not ready for, as this can result in injury. It is very important to the Omega Staff to create a safe atmosphere where each cheerleader can reach their top potential at the correct pace. Although the final decision among placements is up to coaches discretion, we have listed the following tumbling requirements for each of the USASF levels, so families can be informed as to your childs correct tumbling level. Stunting level and experience is also taken into account when making team selections.

USASF Level 1 Forward roll, Backward Roll, Handstand, Cartwheel, Roundoff, Back Walkover, Front Walkover (Bonus Skill- Standing BHS)

cannot accommodate that, you will not be placed on a team.
