Tryout

Throughout the summer I decided that I wanted to spend most of my time volunteering at youth cheerleading camps. Not only did I get the chance to interact with younger girls and set a good role model, but I also got the chance to work with other girls my age who have talent and loves cheerleading just as much as I do! The two camps I was a part of was the Danny Lansanah Football/Cheerleading Camp and the Packers & Broncos Cheerleading Camp. Both camps were located at John Harris High School for…

“Best Friend” I sit with my hand clutched at my heart and the other concealing my face while her car drove off with all of our memories with it. As she becomes smaller and smaller, I’m left detached with twilight approaching and the sound of crickets filling the air, I toyed with the idea of bringing her back, but decided against it. I clumsily kick a rock to the other side of the street, watching it fly into the bushes. As darkness overtakes me, recurring thoughts flood my mind and my eyes…

Telling my friends the results of the tryout was even less rewarding. I had every reason to believe I would make the team. I had played for the freshman soccer team the year before. I was one of the team’s leading goalscorers ; I hat-tricked our rival school in an important match. My teammates loved me; I had good form; I was a team player. I trained hard, worked hard, and sweated hard on the field and in the gym for the next year. I went into the tryout with my head held high…

My family has always been a sports family. Ever since I can remember the entirety of my life outside of school has revolved around sports. For my dad it was soccer, a sport which I played and enjoyed but unlike my parents, when they were younger, I had a burning desire to play hockey. Hours of running wildly around my house dressed in goalie equipment, finally convinced my parents to sign their 5 year old up for timbits hockey. I enjoyed playing the game for many years to follow, and still do…

be taking the girls spot on the roster. Although I don't think it would be fair for a male that has been playing soccer all his life, not to be able to tryout against a female that just started. I think there would have to be rules, such as an equal ratio of boys and girls. However those same people turn around and say it's unfair for girls to tryout for football. I believe if you are going to make the rules you need to stick with…

choosing of the Olympic team, the quality of the decision is very significant so the group rated it as high. The following question deals with the Importance of commitment. Herb only watched the players for one day even though there was a week of tryouts scheduled, it that may seem like he did not have enough information. However, Herb tells Walter that he watched film, he coached many of the players, and he talked to the coaches of the kids who hadn’t played for him, so he had done extensive…

because in the eyes of the general public there is not much to differentiate between the two. All-star and high school when understand to the fullest have almost no similarities some of the main differences being; their practices, the extent of their tryouts and of course their competitions. All-star cheer teams and high school cheer teams differ completely and should not be grouped together…

All of my life I aspired to be a cheerleader! I've danced for five years, which gives me a bit of experience, so I decided to try out! Tryout week came upon us quicker than I thought it would and boy was I nervous. We were required to learn a cheer,chant, and a dance. Anytime you saw me I’d probably be going through that routine, it was ALL I did! 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8… hit, hit, clap,move, was constantly running through my mind. 3:15pm, Friday came and I was sick to my stomach! Group 5 was called in……

became a member of the team my freshman year and instantly fell in love with the change of environment. When sophomore year arose, being apart of the team became tedious, but my yearning passion to become a captain continued my intense drive. When tryouts rolled around, it was a stressful two weeks filled with achy muscles, late night papers, and various tears. In May 2015 I did not make the officer line. My dreams were crushed and I started to give up on the thing that I cherished the most,…

My dance team has always been a family to me. From the inside jokes to the never-ending laughter during practice, there was nothing that I ever wanted more than happiness and contentedness for the team. That being said, it takes a lot to create a harmonious setting for a team of 14 girls. As a captain, you do a lot behind the scenes, often without the team even knowing. I created practice schedules, planned out competition and performance sets, and set up fundraisers for our expenses. Along with…
