The Woodbury High School Cheerleading Team tryouts happen yearly in April. 

This year, tryouts will be held on April 23rd, 24th, and 25th in the activity center of WHS from 4:30-7:30pm.  

- Parent/Athlete Info Meetings (REQUIRED): We will be hosting two informational meetings for candidates and their families. Each tryout candidate must attend one meeting with at least one parent/guardian per household in order to be eligible for tryouts! The same content will be discussed at both meetings, so no need to attend both unless you really want to! Reasonable accommodations can be made for candidates with working family members who are unable to attend, but should be discussed as soon as possible with the coaching staff. The current meeting dates and times are listed below.
Info Meeting 1 - April 8th, 7:00pm @ WHS Lecture Hall 
Info Meeting 2 - April 16th, 7:00pm @ WHS Lecture Hall 

- Tryouts: Our tryouts will take place on April 23, 24 and 25 from 4:30-7:30pm each night. ALL THREE SESSIONS ARE REQUIRED - the Tuesday and Wednesday sessions will be clinic-style instruction where candidates learn material and practice skills, and the Thursday session will be performance-based, where candidates perform what they have learned and will be evaluated by coaches and volunteer judges. More information about the tryout process will be discussed at the informational meetings in early April. Reasonable accommodations may be made for any conflicts due to academic commitments or spring athletics with approval from the coaches - please submit a request in writing to our email address at least a week in advance (no later than April 16).
