Indiana University Athletics
Cheer Try-Outs/Spring Clinic
Cheer Spring Selection Clinic
Date TBD
Wilkinson Hall • 1001 E 17th Street
The required Limited Revocable License and General Release and Questionnaire forms can be found here. Any clinic attendee 18 years of age or younger must have your parent sign the form as the witness. Instruction will be taught by coaching staff, graduating program members, and former Indiana University Cheerleaders. The clinic is open to any high school juniors or seniors and anyone going through the selection process for the Indiana Cheerleading program. Workout gear is recommended. We do not recommend wearing other university/college logos. Coaches and parents of interested candidates are encouraged and welcome to attend. We will hold a question/answer session for coaches/parents during the clinic. Anyone interested in ordering a clinic DVD can do so by filling out the Clinic DVD Request Form.
This is not a required event but is strongly encouraged for those interested in the Indiana University program. It will help sharpen your skills and prepare you for the try-outs. We will be teaching five sidelines, the IU School Song, and the IU Fight Song to all candidates which will be evaluated during the selection weekend. This will give you a head start on knowing the material. We will also review stunting techniques for both coed and all girl stunts. We will not be teaching "how to stunt" at the actual selection weekend. If you can't attend the clinic, that's certainly understandable. The instruction time at the clinic helps candidates to work with current program members and the IU coaching staff prior to April. This will help allow candidates to come to the selection weekend with a little more confidence.
