You will <br> have two days of being taught and to practice and one <br> day to show the judges what you’ve got. They can also <br> be pre-evaluating you over the course of those days. <br> During tryouts you will have to have a round-off, <br> perform a dance, perform a cheer, perform a chant, and <br> do a toe touch spin prep pike. It may sound like a lot <br> to handle but the Kinnick Cheerleaders do not settle <br> we get the best of the best! <br> <br> <SPAN style="FILTER: Glow(color=RED,strength=4); HEIGHT: 0px"><center><b>What you will learn</center></b></SPAN> <br> During these two seasons a year we hope that the boys <br> and girls will improve their cheering abilities <br> overall, as well as learning new techniques and <br> skills. For our boys we highly encourage the learning <br> of tumbling. For our girls we encourage a lot more <br> such as the tightness of motions, tumbling as well, <br> dance skills, projection, and smiles. For both of our <br> kids though we definitely want learning to work as a <br> team and stunting as well. We want the kids to be able <br> to come out of it with new material and new <br> experiences. <br> <br> <SPAN style="FILTER: Glow(color=RED,strength=4); HEIGHT: 0px"><center><b>Goals</center></b></SPAN> <br> Our goals are to have every cheerleader walking out of <br> a season improved more than they were before, and <br> bringing spirit to everyone in the school and people <br> around them. Also, competitions are what we work up <br> to. We want to prove once again we are the best of the <br> best. <br> <br> <SPAN style="FILTER: Glow(color=RED,strength=4); HEIGHT: 0px"><center><b>Compete ?</center></b></SPAN> <br> I have mentioned a lot about competition. We have two <br> competitions a year, one during football season and <br> one during basketball season. The first one we go to <br> is during football season, its called far east. We go <br> to far east and compete against cheer teams from all <br> around Japan to see who is truly the best. The schools <br> are split into large school and small school, based on <br> the amount of kids in your school. We are a large <br> school, and we have won 3 consecutive years in a row <br> and are about to go to our third one this year. The <br> competition hands out a series of awards as a team and <br> as an individual, yet what everyone wants to win is <br> the very last day of competition which determines the <br> over all winners. <br> The second competition we go to is during basketball <br> season its called ASIJ Comp. (short for competition). <br> Here we only compete against a few schools with a <br> large routine that shows off all of our skills in just <br> that one routine. We will be judged, and in the end <br> you will only have one winner, whereas in far east you <br> have two one for small school and one for large <br> school. In ASIJ Comp. no matter the number of kids in <br> your school its only one competition, one winner. <br> So far we are consecutive winners for both, and we <br> plan to keep it going in the future. <br> </font> <!--EndFreetext--> <p> <!--Links--> <font size="5"></font> <p> <a href="http://kinnickvarsitycheer.angelfire.com/index.html">Home</a><br> <a href="http://kinnickvarsitycheer.angelfire.com/AboutUs">About Us</a><br> <a href="http://kinnickvarsitycheer.angelfire.com/Calendar">Calendar</a><br> <a href="http://kinnickvarsitycheer.angelfire.com/ContactUs">Contact Us</a><br> <a href="http://kinnickvarsitycheer.angelfire.com/RealtedLinks">Related Links</a><br> <p> <!--EndLinks--> </div> </body> </html>
