  •        If you are under 18, your cheerleading tryout application form must be signed by a parent or guardian in order to participate.
  •        Applicants must provide complete insurance information to participate in the clinics and tryouts.   Please attach a copy of the front and back of your insurance card.
  •        All portions of tryouts are closed to the public.  Only applicants, coaching staff, and NSU qualified judges will be allowed inside.
  •        Attendance at all of the clinics is mandatory for all those intending on trying out.   Should you have a conflict with a prom etc., consider flying in and out to make your conflicted event.  Everyone must be present to tryout unless you have made prior arrangements for videotaping. 
  •        Tryout attire should be tennis-style shorts and a collared shirt (preferably sleeveless for the girls). For clinic sessions t-shirts and shorts are appropriate. Fitted shirts are preferred for girls.  Absolutely no jewelry or body piercings will be allowed.   Tattoos must not be visible.  You will be judged on appearance so consider clothing that is appropriate and appealing, as well as, grooming that is professional.
  •        Evaluators will consist of the coaching staff, spirit director, and athletic department administrators. The purpose of the tryout is to choose the best all-around representatives for NSU. While talent is extremely important, it is also important that applicants be well-rounded individuals that will represent the University in a positive manner.
  •        Generally 12-16 total females are chosen to make up the squad. The squad will cheer for home and away football games as well as Men’s and Women’s Basketball and, if the talent and funds are there, will be our competitive team.  
  •        $100-$500 Scholarships are awarded to each member. Out of state fees are not waived.
