How can I try out for one of the Premier teams?
Selections are being held this fall in August, September, and October in conjunction with select location of our USA Cheer college combine recruiting events. You must register for the selection date that you’d like to attend on our website.

Are video submissions accepted to tryout?
Video submissions are not accepted at this time for selections.

Can I attend more than 1 selection?
It’s not necessary to attend more than 1 selection, however, if you feel that you’d like to attend more than 1, you would need to register for each event separately.

Can I attend a combine and national team selection?
Yes, you can sign up to attend a combine and the national team selection. You would need to register for each event separately.

Do I need to attend with a partner stunt group?
If you are trying out for the all-girl program, it’s vital to attend with your partner stunt group. If you are trying out for Coed it’s great to have your partner with you, but there will be pairing of couples at the tryout and you may be asked to show partner stunt skills with numerous other people. Any person attending the selection would need to register individually.

What are the dates of the ICU World Championships?
Team Training: April 14 – 21 in Tampa, FL
ICU Championship: April 22 – 26 in Orlando, FL

What is the time commitment and dates that I need to be available for?
The national team is a large commitment, and all dates are mandatory.  In the spring there will be an expectation of skill work on your own based upon the coaches’ direction with some weekend practices in January, February and March. The training period prior to the championship is April 14 – 21 with the ICU championships April 22 – 26. You will be required to be 100% available free from distractions during these dates.

What are the training dates?
Important Spring Trainings (estimates and subject to change): January 26 – 28 February 23 – 25 and March 15 – 17. Mandatory ICU Training: April 14- 21 in Tampa, FL

How old must I be to try out for the US National Team?
We require that all members are at least 18 years of age by January 2024, to participate with the US National Teams.

What skills will I be required to show at the tryout?
Every member of the national team is extremely skilled in elite partner stunt, tumbling, pyramids and/or basket toss skills. It is suggested that you be proficient in spinning, flipping, and inverted skills for partner stunts. Tumbling will involve both standing and running. We reserve the option of having candidates demonstrate basket toss skills at the selection process. Please note that ICU basket toss regulations are different than USA Cheer guidelines. Multiple trick baskets and baskets that spin up to two times are legal at the ICU World Cheerleading Championships. We suggest that you can demonstrate skills that can be executed cleanly. You will be asked to show only skills that you are 100% proficient in at tryouts.

Skills needed for the All Girl tryout: Spinning, flipping, and inversions for stunts. Two stunt sequences with transition and dismount. Tumbling: 2 standing and 2 running passes.

Skills needed for the Coed tryout: Free flipping entry, Twisting entry, Hand in hand variation entry. Must double twist out of one and flipping dismount from one.

When will I be notified if I made the team?
We have 8 locations across the country in the Fall. After the final selection date, the coaching staff will review all athletes from the selection and pick the teams. The teams will be announced on social media sometime in early November. We will then schedule a zoom team meeting to review all the pertinent details of what it means to be a member of the US National Team.

Do you take alternates as part of the team?
Yes, every year we take alternates for all girl and coed.  There is no set number of alternates that we take, it varies year to year on the makeup of the current team members and what roles the coaching staff feel they may need to fill in. For the US National All Girl Team, specific individual members may be selected from a group as alternate status rather than selecting the entire group.

How much does it cost to be a member of the national team?
The approximate cost for the national team is $3,500 which includes the training weeks, hotel, air and ground transportation, travel and meal expenses, apparel and uniform expenses and the actual costs of the event in Orlando. USA Cheer will fundraise and look for sponsors to cover as much of the expense as possible.  Each team member will be required to raise up to $1500 as their contribution to the team costs.

I’m a full-time student, will USA Cheer excuse me from any classes I will miss with my university professors?
We offer a letter to your professors that asks for consideration on your behalf, however, every University and professor have their own requirements and there’s no guarantee that your missed attendance would be excused.  We suggest you carefully look at any conflicts that have to do with school, personal, or work and plan accordingly. We do offer nightly study tables during training for all members of the US National Team. We also provide proctors that monitor any quizzes and/or exams you may have during training/competition. If selected to the team, you can submit a request to the Director of National Teams for USA Cheer and a member of the USA Cheer staff will be assigned to proctor. The national team director can also verify by email confirmation with your instructor/professor at your individual university.

If employed, we can also provide a letter to your employer if requested that asks for consideration on your behalf as well. It is your responsibility to communicate with professors and employers about time you will miss due to training and competition.
