Tryouts
West Coast Extreme offers the most exciting, competitive, successful, and positive All-Star cheerleading experience on the West Coast! We believe that All-Star cheerleading gives kids another opportunity to gain advanced skills and learn life lessons in a team environment, while having FUN! We provide the environment, instruction, equipment, and motivation you need to be the best athlete you can be!
Registration for West Coast Extreme All-Star Cheerleading teams and classes may be made throughout the year. Space is limited on each team, and in each class, so you are encouraged to register as early as possible.
West Coast Extreme has a no-cut policy, however, teams will be skill based, therefore a brief tryout is necessary for placement on teams. (Except recreational and open classes)

* Levels of teams will be decided upon after tryouts.
BOYS & GIRLS are welcome to tryout! West Coast Extreme will create more teams should the need arise. West Coast Extreme prides itself on our NO CUT POLICY! Everyone makes a team at West Coast Extreme!
West Coast Extreme strives to fill our teams with athletes that will give our teams the best possible chance for success in their division. This means that we are not necessarily looking for the 35 best tumblers or jumpers for any particular team. We need an appropriate mix of skills, ages, and even body types (flyers/bases) on each team. This will create a team that is more likely to be successful in competition. Teams will be selected based on age, current ability, and future potential. We have teams that fit into every division, from novice to elite, Levels 1 through 6. With all of our teams, we are looking for potential as much as experience. EVERYONE makes a team, and all teams compete!
