CKHS CHEERLEADING
TRYOUT INFORMATION
We are so glad you are interested in trying out for
CK Cheer!
Before you decide to tryout...
Please know that cheerleading involves more time and responsibility than most people realize. You need to be willing to commit a minimum of 15 hours a week starting in May and continuing through the end of basketball season (March). The demands upon a person’s time and energy are great – all cheerleaders must be able to successfully balance schooling, cheerleading, homework, work and their social lives. Your various commitments must be taken in to consideration before you decide to try-out.
