2026-2027 Tryout Information

Dear Cheerleading Candidates & Parents/Guardians,

​

Thank you for your interest in the 2026-2027 UDA Fame Competition Cheerleading Teams. We believe cheerleading is a rewarding and exciting sport teaching dedication, sportsmanship, teamwork, self confidence, and work ethic. Please read the following information to ensure you fully understand both the responsibility and commitment expected of you as a UDA Fame Cheerleader.

� Competition Cheerleading can be very time consuming; please consider the time commitment this sport will require from both the cheerleader and parents. Your commitment will require active participation in practices, conditioning, community parades, and competitions. Due to the fact that cheerleading is a team sport, one person’s inability to follow through on their commitment affects the entire team.

​

In addition to the time commitment, you will also need to take into consideration financial requirements. Please consider and evaluate all of these factors before deciding to tryout. Being a part of this program requires commitment to yourself and the team. We look forward to an exciting tryout clinic and wish each one of you the best of luck!
