Academic Requirements
Candidate must have a 3.0 GPA for each of the three preceding terms to run for cheerleader and must maintain a 3.0 GPA each term to remain on the squad. A GPA of less than 3.0 will put the student on probation until the next grading period. A student can only have (1) probationary period while being an officer or cheerleader. One 'F' in any term will eliminate a person from the squad and there will be no probationary period in such cases.
Citizenship Standards
Candidate may have one 'N' to tryout but will be on a 30-day probation period effective the next day. A student cannot have a 'U' or 2 'Ns' at any time to try out for or be a cheerleader. A second 'N', safe school violation, pattern of school policy violations, or an administrative 'U' will result in immediate removal from the squad.
Cheerleading Tryouts
Updated 2/9/22
All incoming 8th and 9th grade students are eligible to tryout.
Parent and Candidate Meeting: This mandatory meeting will be held on March 7th @ 7:00 in the school library to discuss the requirements for both tryouts and to be a member of the cheer squad.
Tryout Clinics: April 11, 12, 13 from 3:00-4:30 PM in the gymnasium.
Tryouts: Friday, April 15th in the gymnasium. Your specific tryout time will be given to you at the last clinic on April 13th.
Physical forms must be submitted BEFORE the first tryout clinic on April 11th. Candidates will not be allowed to participate in the tryout process until those forms are submitted. Forms can be found here: https://resources.finalsite.net/images/v1529962468/davisk12utus/gdznvetjaq96upmtafdc/physicalforpartipcationinathletics_1.pdf
Once those forms are completed, they need to be uploaded to Register My Athlete (RMA). Everyone that is trying out for Sunset Jr. Cheer will need to create an account, as all important paperwork will now be submitted through this website. ALL candidates will need to complete the entire RMA process before participating in tryouts (except for the payment fees).

2021 - 2022 Cheer Sponsors
A huge thank you to the following sponsors! Because of them, we were able to purchase much needed cheer mats and conditioning equipment. With the excess funds, we plan to give back to our community through acts of service.
