2013 – 2014
CHEER EXTREME TRYOUT PACKET
Welcome to the 2013-2014 CEA Raleigh tryouts! Please read all of the information carefully.
The coaching staff will evaluate each athlete on the following criteria:
-Tumbling difficulty and form
-Athleticism
-Dance ability and showmanship
-Willingness to accept instruction
-Stunting positions (flyer, base, back-spot)
-Jump technique
-Overall attitude and attendance from the past season, if applicable
Please check the two-team box on the Information Card if you wish to be considered for more than
one team. Please be aware that considerations are ultimately selected by the coaching staff.
Tryout placements are not finalized until August 1st. Athletes who do not keep skills performed at
tryouts may be moved to a different team in August. Those athletes who showed marked
improvement may be moved up to a different team as well.
The USASF was created in 2002 to unify the all-star cheer industry with a specific set of rules. Divisions
are governed by age. Your child’s age on August 31st of this year will determine his/her competition age
for the season. Birth certificates are required if we do not have one on file. Teams are formed by both
age and level. Everyone who attends tryouts at CEA Raleigh makes a team.

LEVELING SYSTEM:
We adhere to a strict attendance policy for all teams.
Half Year Teams: Teams that travel locally, compete at the beginner level and do not attend skills camp.
Tryouts will be held the first week of September. Season runs from September through mid-April. Preregistration for half-year teams begins August 1st. Fees are significantly less than full-year athletes.
These teams will wear a traditional cheer uniform, not practice wear, to compete.
Levels 1-2: Teams are those that travel moderately, compete at intermediate or novice level, have
summer skills camp at the Raleigh gym and have moderate competition fees.
Levels 3-4: Teams are those that travel somewhat extensively, compete at the intermediate to
advanced level, go to a skills camp located either in Raleigh or Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and have
higher competition fees.
Level 4.2: We consider this team to be the ultimate goal for athletes leveled 1-3 wishing to travel
extensively and compete at an elite level. This team is a mix of veteran athletes and new raw talent.
Senior 4.2 attends a mandatory skills camp in Myrtle Beach.
Level 5: Teams are those that travel extensively, go to a mandatory skills camp in Myrtle Beach, have
the highest competition fees and compete at an advanced to elite level. If your athlete is on a team that
attends Worlds in April there will be additional expenses, depending on what type of bid is awarded.
Time frame for Myrtle Beach skills camp is June 10-30
ALL Level 5 teams, Level 4.2 and potentially Level 3/4 teams will attend.
ALL SKILLS CAMPS ARE MANDATORY!
We MUST have the following in order to tryout:
-Registration Fee: $75.00 per child or $100.00 per family
-Completed Registration Form with financial information provided
-Signed Waiver
-Birth Certificate
-Completed Information Card
-Cheer Extreme Terms and Conditions Form
-All outstanding debts must be paid in full
You may pre-register at the front desk beginning on Monday, April 15th with Krista. There will be a $5.00
discount if you pre-register by Thursday, May 2nd. The registration fee must be paid by check/money
