A big thanks to those who came to our parent meeting. If you were unable to attend, please stop by Miss Wriston's room to pickup up your paperwork.

Congratulations to our 2019-2020 Spirit Squad! We were impressed by all of you and it was such a hard choice. Good job, ladies!

Just a reminder- you MUST get your completed paperwork and uniform turned in or you will not be allowed to tryout. Don't let something like this keep you off the team. Get it turned in! 😀

Very important the night before tryouts!

#TryoutTip #13: Practice in front of others. Once you have a good handle on the material, pick positive people and perform. This will help you be more comfortable performing for tryout judges.

#TryoutTip #12: Support each other. When you look around at the other girls trying out, don't think of them as 'competition'. These other girls are your future #teammates. Start the #team right by being #positive & #encouraging.

#TryoutTip #11: Visualize a perfect tryout. #Visualize yourself executing each skill perfectly. #Imagine how each movement feels. This trains the mind as much as the body. It can also help calm your nerves.

#TryoutTip #10: Get Organized. Tryouts are this week! Make sure you have your paperwork completed & turned in to Mis Wriston ASAP. Plan your transportation. Be sure you have appropriate practice clothes and shoes. You'll make a good impression & feel better if you're prepared.

[Helfrich Park Spirit @HPSpiritSquad]

Today's #TryoutTip: #Confidence is key. The best way to feel confident is to work hard & #BePrepared. Smile and make eye contact. Speak in a clear voice. Cheer loudly. Avoid fidgeting. Know your material & practice it thoroughly. This will help you #believeinyourself. Go you!

#TryoutTip #7: Know your strengths & weaknesses. Some ignore their weakness & only focus on making their strengths even better. Improving your performance in areas that aren't your best takes more #hardwork & #effort. But it also makes you a better overall #cheerleader &/#dancer

#TryoutTip #6: Nutrition is crucial. #Healthy food such as #veggies, #fruit & #leanprotein fuel #athletes. They give athletes the #energy to perform at their best. So don't skip meals. You need to be #energetic not #hangry & lethargic. Proper rest & #nutrition make a difference!

[Helfrich Park Spirit @HPSpiritSquad]

#TryoutTip #4: Only throw your cleanest #Tumbling during #tryouts. This is not the time to try some crazy hard skill you've never landed before. A perfect cartwheel is more fun to watch (and will leave a better impression) than a scary back tuck you fail to land. #CheerTryouts

[Helfrich Park Spirit @HPSpiritSquad]

#TryoutTip #3: Prepare for #tryouts w/ regular exercise. It takes stamina to cheer, dance, jump & tumble. Exercise builds stamina and the strength you'll need later for stunting. 💪 Make it fun. Playing a physical game or dancing to your fav music are fun ways to get exercise.

[Helfrich Park Spirit @HPSpiritSquad]

#TryoutTip #2: Practice jumps daily. You're required to do a toe touch and a pike @ tryouts. Jumps are hard but if you put in work now, it'll show at tryouts. Record your jumps so you can see how you need to improve. The key to jumps is to point those toes!
