ALL STAR CHEER

Evaluations

PARENT MEETING

📅 Monday, May 19 @ 7:00 PM

    ​

One parent/guardian required to attend (athletes are welcome also). Join us for an overview of our program- our vision, standards, expectations and culture. You will have the opportunity to see the facility, meet coaches, ask questions and complete paperwork.

​​​

ATHLETE EVALUATIONS​​

Evaluation dates are based on the individual athlete's tumbling level. Please refer to the tumbling level guidelines for more information.

​

​

 Your tryout date selection will not affect your athlete's initial training group placement as each athlete will be asked to perform skills individually. 

      

     

📅 Evaluation Dates:

  • Levels 1-2: Tuesday, May 20

  • Levels 2-3: Wednesday, May 21

  • Levels 4-6: Thursday, May 22

      ​​

🕔 Check-in: Athletes arrive at 5:00 PM to warm up and will be evaluated in order of registration. The schedule will be available at the parent meeting or upon arrival on evaluation day.

🕔 Please make sure your child is picked up promptly after their evaluation time period has concluded.

👕 Evaluation Day Attire:

     Females: Black shorts, a white tank top and/or sports bra, hair in a high ponytail/bow and cheer shoes/white athletic shoes.

     Males:  Black shorts, a white tank top or t-shirt and cheer shoes/white athletic shoes.

📄 Paperwork: All necessary forms must be completed before the evaluation time slot. Paperwork can be submitted at the parent meeting or upon check-in on evaluation day.

      

EVALUATION DETAILS

Athletes will be assessed on the tumbling skills that they have mastered with excellent technique, including both standing and running tumbling. They will also demonstrate a double toe touch, and a front hurdler jump. Please ensure that your athlete is prepared and has a plan on what tumbling skills they will perform at evaluations.

    

Evaluations will be closed to spectators—parents are welcome to wait in the parking lot.

   

⏳ Important Notes:

  • Evaluation fees are non-refundable.

  • If an athlete withdraws after training groups are announced (May) or after team placements are announced (June) all fees will be forfeited and no team apparel/services will be provided.

  • If your athlete fails to attend evaluations, all fees will be forfeited.

  • If an athlete is not placed on an Elite team, they may be offered a spot on a PRIME team for further development. In this case, $200 of the evaluation fee will be credited toward PRIME tuition.

  • If an athlete is not offered a placement on any team, $200 of the evaluation fee will be credited to their account for any Elevation Athletics programming (credit expires one year from the date of issue).

  • If you are unable to attend your assigned evaluation date, contact info@elevationathletic.co to arrange a private or video evaluation before the scheduled dates. Additional fees may apply.

EVALUATION PROCESS & TEAM PLACEMENTS

Not every athlete will be placed on an Elite team. We will protect the integrity of our program by only offering preliminary placements to those athletes who fit our program's expectations. We limit the size of our program to protect the quality of instruction and the family culture of our gym. We only place the number of athletes on teams that we can provide exceptional coaching for. 

    

While evaluations give us a preliminary indication of whether or not your athlete is ready to be part of our elite program, it is not enough time to dictate a season long team placement for any athlete. We aim to give every athlete the opportunity to show their commitment, dedication, work ethic, team first attitude and ability to grow in both skill and mindset.

    

​Our goal is that each athlete is significantly utilized on a team that they will thrive on. We want each athlete to feel that they contribute to the success of the TEAM. 

   ​    

To ensure we are making the best team decisions, we step outside the box of a traditional "tryout."What does this mean?​​​ Evaluations are the first step in determining an athlete’s potential placement. Following evaluations, qualified athletes are placed into training groups for the month of June. These initial groups are fluid and athletes may be moved throughout June as part of our extended evaluation process. Utilizing training groups allows our coaching staff to assess skills in a training environment and make thoughtful decisions about where each athlete is placed. This will also give us the opportunity to communicate with both parents and athletes about realistic expectations, talk about the athlete's goals and help give actionable feedback on how to meet those goals.

    

Some athletes may be asked to participate in multiple training groups. This does not necessarily indicate that those athletes will be offered placements on two teams, though in some instances those opportunities may be extended to those who indicate interest in cross-competing on their evaluation paperwork. 

    

📢 June training group placement information will be emailed by Monday, May 26 and posted on social media (by tryout number).

📢 Official team placements will be discovered during a special Team Reveal night on Thursday, June 26. This is a program favorite event and makes our team placement reveal fun, memorable and exciting for all!
