• Tryouts will be based on skills assessment. We will evaluate athletes throughout the learning process and make initial placements based on what we see at tryouts and what we know of athletes’ prior cheer experience. 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 tryout day, please contact info@marylandglitzallstars.com for the makeup tryout dates. 

​

TRYOUT 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 tryouts.

 

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. 

 

TRYOUT RESULTS:  

Results of the tryout and practice times will be emailed to the address on file on Wednesday, May 31st. In the event you do not receive an email when you completed all registration steps please email info@marylandglitzallstars.com.
