Tryout Requirements
To be eligible for Gonzaga Cheerleading Tryouts all required paperwork must be processed by the Athletic Training staff prior to participating
The Gonzaga University Cheerleading Program will host five tryout practices each fall to assess the skills, abilities and potential of interested and qualified candidates for one of the predetermined number of available positions. Tryouts are intended to be a low stress event. For that reason they are conducted in a practice like environment during which the level of each candidate’s skills and talents, and their ability to work with the coach and prospective teammates, will be evaluated. A short interview with the candidate may be conducted at anytime during the sessions. Attendance is mandatory. No video tape submissions accepted. All candidates are expected to tryout in person.
Contact Coach Vicki Tiffany to obtain Tryout Application Materials at tiffany@athletics.gonzaga.edu or (509) 944-0862.
