Cheer Stunt Requirements Q&A
Question: Can I bring my own partner for my personal selection process?
Answer: NO. It will not do the Indiana cheerleading program any good to have people stunting with you who will not be a part of the program. The only exception to this will be if we run into a larger number of females going through the selection process than males. At this point, we will make arrangements ahead of time to have qualified males available.
Question: Will all stunts be spotted at the selection weekend even if I can do the stunt?
Answer: YES. This is for safety purposes only.
Question: Is it harder for the old members to make the squad again?
Answer: YES. We will have different skills requirements for all returning members from both squads.
Question: How do I get a partner to go through the selection process with in April?
Answer: There are a few ways to find a partner for your selection weekend:
1. Getting in touch with someone ahead of time that you know already in the program or that is trying out for the squad next year;
2. Attending the February Clinic and getting a chance to practice and meet people;
3. If needed, one of the coaches will help pair you with someone (Please let us know before the try-out procedure begins and not immediately before we start evaluating stunting.).
Question: How do I know what type of stunter I am for the Varsity All-Female Crimson Squad?
Answer: Hopefully, you have done quite a bit of stunting prior to this try-out. If you have a general knowledge of cheerleading stunting, you can be any type of stunter with the correct strength and technique.
