SEASON 20 TRYOUTS – IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Please read all of the information below carefully before registering for tryouts. This ensures you fully understand how the process works and what to expect.

📅 TRYOUT STRUCTURE

Our Season 20 tryouts will run over a 4 week process.

This allows athletes to settle into the environment as week one nerves are very normal, show progression over time rather than being judged on one session, and be assessed accurately across multiple areas.

Each week builds on the last, giving coaches a full picture of every athlete.

📣 WHY WE DO TRYOUTS

In Allstar cheer and dance, teams are reset and rebuilt every season. This is because athletes grow and develop new skills, SportCheer England may update age divisions, athletes may move up levels or change teams, and new athletes join the programme.

Tryouts allow us to place every athlete where they will progress the most, feel confident and contribute to a strong team. There is a place for everyone. This process ensures it is the right place.

👀 HOW ATHLETES ARE ASSESSED

All coaches are involved in tryouts, meaning every athlete is seen by the full coaching team.

We assess technique, tumbling ability, stunting where applicable, teamwork and attitude, ability to take corrections, and readiness for the next level.

Assessments are aligned with scoring expectations and level requirements, ensuring placements are structured and fair.

📊 TEAM SELECTION

Athletes must attend their true age group. Your true age group is the first division your birth year appears in.

Athletes may be asked to attend additional sessions if appropriate.

Team placements are not based on one session alone. Decisions are made across the full 4 week process.

🏆 COMPETITION PATHWAYS

For Season 20, we are offering two different competition pathways so families can choose what best suits their goals, lifestyle and level of commitment.

Pathway 1
A more relaxed option with a lower level of commitment. This is ideal for athletes who want to enjoy competing in a positive and supportive environment, with fewer competitions and a focus on confidence, teamwork and enjoyment.

Pathway 2
A more committed and performance focused option. This is suited to athletes who are ready to push themselves further, with more competitions including national events and a strong focus on progression, training and results.

Both pathways are fully supported by our coaching team and provide a rewarding experience.

This choice is not based on ability and does not affect team placements. It simply helps us understand what you would like to gain from your Tycoons experience this season.

📌 ATTENDANCE

It is expected that athletes attend all 4 weeks of tryouts.

We understand this can be a busy time of year, so if you are unable to attend any of the dates, you must let Vanessa know as soon as possible so an alternative can be arranged.
