We host Tryouts in May for our full year competition teams to determine which team is best suited for your child and the classes they are ready to take. We are a recreational program and host tryouts based on a placement model: No athlete is cut, we find a place for everyone on one of our 12 teams!
NOTE: The $50 annual membership is due when you register for Tryouts, as well as the Travel Account Fee (if interested in our travel division).

0U TRYOUTS: MAKE UPSIf your athlete can not make either of their tryout days, please have them attend one of the make up sessions (listed as 0U Tryouts). If your athlete can attend one of the days, but not the other, let us know. They might not need to attend a make up. NOTE: Athletes age 8 and under who cannot make the 8U tryouts do not need to attend a makeup. Just register for the 8U tryout, and message us to let us know you cannot make it.
0U TRYOUT ONE: May 7th 2:00 - 5:00 pm, or 0U TRYOUT TWO: May 14th 2:00 - 5:00 pm Athletes unable to attend tryouts all together will be asked to submit video tryout. Please email carrie@cascadeelitecheer.org for details.
Note: Coaches have tough decisions to make during placement time, therefore all placement decisions are final. If you'd like to ensure we take a request into consideration, please see below. |
WHAT TEAM WILL MY CHILD BE PLACED ON?
Tumbling vs. non-tumblingWe have 8 local teams, 4 that compete in tumbling and 4 that compete in non-tumbling. Placement on a tumbling team means your athlete will be encouraged to advance their tumbling skills during practice and at home, but we also offer group tumbling classes. An athlete placed on a non-tumbling team may still take tumbling classes, especially if their goal is to compete in tumbling in the future. All travel teams tumble.
|
travel vs. non-travelWe have four travel teams that compete at USA Jr. Spirit Nationals in Anaheim, CA in February, and spend two days at Disneyland parks. They also attend a weekend bid event in Portland in December. If you'd like your athlete to be placed on a travel team, they will make Dynasty, Imperial, Empire, or Legacy. We do not cut any athletes interested in attending Nationals! (Make sure you sign up for the travel specific tryout)
|
Crossover athletesEvery athlete will be selected for a primary team, and some may also be recommended for a secondary team. This would make them a crossover athlete. It is an honor to be asked to crossover, so congratulate your athlete even if they are unable to accept both spots. Practices and performances for crossover athletes will not conflict.
NOTE: If you choose to be on one team only, it MUST be the primary team. |
AGe groupsOur teams are organized by age group, but each group has some overlap to the next (i.e. Junior aged is 10-14 and Senior is 11-18). Teams tend to skew on the high end of their age range, so you should expect few 11/12 year olds on a senior team, if any. Selections are based on the needs of the specific team that year and are assessed during placements.
*All ages are based on the athlete's age on 8/31 |
Team RequestsWe do everything we can to accommodate team requests for reasons like: siblings/friends on the same team, prefers tumbling/non-tumbling, certain practice days, etc. However, coaches have difficult decisions to make based on the needs of the athlete, the team, and the organization, so we can not guarantee requests. Use the form below to submit any requests.
|
late placementsWe place athletes on our teams through the end of the summer, depending on availability as some teams will fill first. If you'd like you have your athlete considered for a competition team, email Carrie to check team availability.

We look forward to hearing from you,

TEAM REQUEST FORM
We do our best to accommodate team requests, however, we cannot guarantee we will be able to honor you request. Our coaches and staff have a lot to consider when placing athletes, and will not make accommodations that puts in jeopardy the development of other athletes. Some common requests that we can typically honor: Siblings/family/friends within a few years of each other wanting to be on the same team, athletes who are not tumblers wanting to be placed on a non-tumbling team or athletes working on their tumbling who want a chance on a tumbling team, and practice days that do/do not work.
DEDICATED ATHLETES WHO WANT TO ENSURE THEY ARE CONSIDERED FOR A SECOND TEAM SHOULD INDICATE SO USING THE BELOW FORM.
