Tryouts:

Tuesday, August 30^th (after school until 5:15pm) - Participants will practice the cheer and dance they learned online

Wednesday, August 31^st (after school until 5:15pm) - There will be an individual and small group evaluation by the coaches

Candidates will perform the cheer and dance they learned online. They will be judged throughout the selection process by the coaches based on the following categories:

Execution
Difficulty
Overall Performance – showmanship, spirit, athleticism
Coach Evaluation – cooperation, attitude, attendance, dependability (behavior, grades, and discipline reports taken into account)

Dress code: school appropriate athletic wear (if they wouldn’t be allowed to wear it during PE then they shouldn’t wear it to tryouts). Hair should be pulled back and off face (ponytails work). Inappropriate dress will disqualify you from trying out. Do not buy anything just for tryouts.

Parents should make arrangements for their child to be picked up NO LATER than 5:15pm.

Squad selection will be posted on the school website no later than 8pm on Thursday, September 1^st.

The football schedule has not been finalized yet. We ask for your flexibility when the schedule is released.

ESTIMATED CHEER COSTS

This is a cost estimate for the 2022-23 school year. The total cost will be divided into two payments of $150 which will be due on Friday, September 9^thand Friday, October 7^th. Each cheerleader is responsible for any cost prior to receiving items ordered. ALL PAYMENTS MUST BE MADE IN CASH.

Cost	Description
$85 Camp fee	United Camp
$65 Athletic Fee	Includes the use of 2 uniforms, raincoat, and booster fees
$20 T-shirt	T-shirt
$60 Warm Ups	Sweatshirt ($30) Pants ($30)
$15 Bows	Game day bow/special event ribbons
$30 Pom Poms	One orange and one black pom pom
$10 Drawstring bag	Drawstring bag to store pom poms
$15 Bloomers	Black bloomers
Total = $300

These are estimated costs for a NEW cheerleader to Aaron Cohn. If you have cheered at ACMS previously, you only need to order those items that you need.

Each girl purchases their own SOLID white cheer shoes. The brand doesn’t matter, however, we are not a competitive squad and will be cheering outside. I suggest a shoe like the NIKE Sideline II or III. Also, each girl will need a solid black racer back sports bra.
