7. Consider any offers made, and if you have questions get back in touch. 

8. Accept your offer, and share your tee shirt size so we can put you into the team and get your members shirt made. We have sign up day to try on uniform and meet each other on 19th July.

9. See you in summer to begin work with your team!

Bring a bottle of water. Wear shorts, tee shirt, socks and cheer shoes or clean trainers. Long hair must be tied back. No jewellery (it could get caught).

The sessions will be filmed and each athlete will fill out a form (or a parent will) and a photo taken. This is so coaches can help accurately place on teams after the sessions, or arrange recalls for higher level athletes. Footage will not be shared. Individual pictures will not be shared. Group photos may be used on social media.

You will arrive and register with one of the admin team.

The coaches will take everyone through 30 minutes of warm up before a further 30 minutes testing your skills to assess where you are now, and what might be possible with more training. They will recall anyone they need to to see more/different skills.

Athletes will get a full and busy session. Higher levels may be recalled the following week, to undertake more skills checks and pushing with coaches.

We will always place team members at the highest level based on what they do in tryouts. This may not be the same level at which you are currently competing. Coaches will look at Tumble ability, Jump Technique, Performance, and Coachability.

During call-backs, we will also look at Stunt Technique. It’s not just what you can do on the day, it’s also about who you can become throughout the season.

Each team has a small number of non-Tumble positions available. These are reserved for athletes with outstanding Stunt and Jump technique, along with great performance and sportsmanship.

Factors for places include (not an exhaustive list);

• Maximum team member numbers based on competition rules

• Being able to show skills levels consistently and under pressure (replicating a competition)

• Being the correct age for a specific team

• Being available for all competitions

• Being available on all training days

• Having a place available for the skillset in your age division

Senior and Open athletes who would like to tryout for both Tumble and Non-Tumble must let coaches know.

Tryouts will be at either:

Bracknell Gymnastics Club (our home gym).

Bucklers Park (where we hold beginners/fun-cheer and lower stunt levels).

TRAINING:

Next season we are adding a brand new even bigger venue! We have invested in full competition size floor too, meaning we have two homes for full out at all levels.
