About The Team
Each athlete who makes the team has been recruited on the basis of expertise, experience and dedication to Saint Mary’s University (SMU) cheerleading team. SMU cheerleading maintains a philosophy of assisting athletes in reaching their highest potential in a positive and safe environment. SMU cheerleading fosters fitness, health, and fun through recreational and competitive programs.
Tryout Process
Tryouts will consist of a variety of cheerleading skill assessments and athletic ability evaluations, which include, but are not limited to, endurance, strength, jumps, and flexibility tests. Tryouts are conducted in a fun environment. Coaches are looking for hard working athletes who demonstrate potential, willingness to accept direction, mindfulness to safety, and a desire to contribute to a positive team environment. Cheerleading experience is an asset; however, dedication and willingness to learn act as an attribute.
Attendance Policy
SMU cheerleading athletes are expected to attend ALL practices. The success of the team and its performances solely depend on the commitment of each team member. Athletes unable to commit to the practice and performance schedules should reconsider trying out for the team. The investment of money, time and energy will result in immense benefits.
The nature of cheerleading is such that one team member’s absence will hinder the overall performance of the team for an upcoming game or event. While we recognize that there are circumstances under which an absence is required, we need all participants and parents to understand that an accrual of absences, regardless of reason, will result in a significant reduced role in competition routines and may result in dismissal from the team. We do not excuse athletes for family celebrations or events with friends that conflict with organized practices, games, and competition times.
Fundraising
During the year team fundraising events will be organized to help lower the cost of cheerleading fees.
