Important Information
The Spring 2025 Sideline Tryout process is open to incoming GAWHS freshmen, rising sophomores, rising juniors, and rising seniors.
Tumbling & Stunting Requirements
Tumbling or Advanced stunting are REQUIRED for our Varsity level STUNT team. Though the Spring 25-26 tryouts are for our sideline teams we place a large emphasis on tumbling and advanced stunting early on in the tryout process.
We encourage those interested in trying out to contact your local gym to get into tumbling classes, as soon as possible. All tumbling is to be performed on a non-spring floor (dead mat).
