Wildcat Invitational Cheer Competition
Call time 3pm @ JD / Team members will ride the bus to Weber State and check in as a team.
The competition is being held at the Dee Event Center. The doors open at 5pm for spectators. 

Next week we will perform at the drill showcase on Tuesday, Feb. 6 and Friday, Feb. 9 will be Senior night.  Seniors are not walked out by their parents but will be introduced at halftime.

Tryouts are less than two months away.  Please do not wait until the last minute to try and get new skills.  You should be continually working on improving your skills. Those of you who would like to make the competition team need to have at least a standing and running back handspring and score within the same range as returning comp team members. JD competes in Co-Ed Intermediate Varsity Show Cheer.  The required tumbling for Intermediate divisions is jumps to handspring and running tucks.  We will consider candidates and returning team members who score high and are consistently throwing back handsprings with the expectation that you will push throughout the summer to get a tuck. The scoring rubric changed this year and tumbling skills need to be thrown by all team members at the same time to get credit.  We can no longer have girls throwing multiple tucks to make up for non tumblers. This change has reflected how we have placed at competitions this year.  We must adjust to be competitive next year. 

Tumbling
You may not put outside tumbling classes on your JD team account.  Please pay for them separately.  Thank you!

Tryouts are in two months.  Please do not wait until the last minute to try and get new skills.  You should be continually working on improving your skills but for those of you who would like to make the competition team I would suggest you make sure you have at least a standing and running back handspring. Don't wait until two weeks to tryouts to try and cram in tumbling classes to get one.

Tumbling
It has been very difficult to find a team tumbling time this year. It is important to continue to find classes to work on tumbling on your own time.  If you have a goal to make the silver squad/ comp. team next year I suggest you start working now.  Tryouts are in 2 months and we are looking for jumps to a handspring and running tucks. There are many places to take tumbling classes but if you are interested in going to UXC below are their tumbling times and cost.  You may not put outside tumbling classes on your JD team account.  Please pay for them separately.  Thank you!
