Edina Cheerleading is generally a six to nine month time commitment. We welcome athletes of all skill levels to tryout for our program. Tumbling is highly recommended, but not necessarily a requirement. Depending on the volume of athletes and the skill level at tryouts there could be cuts at all levels of the program.

Practice & Competition Rules:

• No gum, jewelry, or glitter.
• Hair pulled back - off shoulders and out of eyes.
• Nails must be cut for stunting safely.
• No cell phones on.

• Always eat before practice and competitions.

Stunting Rules:
