Notes:

College cheerleaders are expected to come to their tryout with certain tumbling skills already mastered. As a Governor cheerleader, you will be expected to execute standing and running tumbling frequently during games, so your performance in executing tumbling will weight heavily on your score.

You must be able to execute a standing tuck (with a light spot) at your tryout in order to make the team. You must be able to execute a standing tuck (without any spot) by the pre-football mini-camp in August in order to cheer during football season.

You must execute these skills on a hardwood floor.
