Initial tryout placement is not final. Movement may take place throughout the year at the discretion of the coaches and Directors.

• If you cannot make it on the prescribed evaluation day, please contact info@marylandglitzallstars.com for an alternative date.

​

EVALUATION PLACEMENTS:  

Athletes will be initially placed based on their age and skill level. The staff takes into consideration all aspects of an athlete's readiness including tumbling, stunting ability, choreography readiness, as well as the well being of the athlete as a whole. We do take the entire summer to fine tune our teams if any adjustments need to be made or if an athlete shows more readiness than they showed at evaluations.

 

TEAM LEVELS:

The level of each team will be determined by the Directors and coaching staff. The factors we consider are current skills, confidence, success of the team, and overall program needs. We will not place athletes on a level just because they can demonstrate a basic level skill requirement. Athletes should work to gain multiple elite skills to move up in level.
