These three days of tryouts will be in the Aux Gym at WHS. If you cannot make it to any of these days, please email me so that we can set up an alternative option for you! I know spring sports are going on and we would be more than happy to work with your schedule if needed.
Anyone interested in trying out, should complete the Tryout Application found at this link.
A few things that we are looking for at tryouts include:
- A positive attitude!
- Willingness to work with teammates & cultivate positive relationships
- Sharp motions
- Proper jump technique
- Proper stunt technique
- Confidence & crowd leading ability
- Tumbling (you will not have points deducted for lack of tumbling skills)
If you plan to try out, please note that those who make the 2024-2025 cheerleading team are committing to cheer for BOTH Football AND basketball seasons.
We look forward to seeing you there!

The mission of the WHS Cheerleading Program is to improve academic performance, instill leadership, build teamwork, motivate others, and inspire wholesome and enthusiastic school spirit.
The NCHSAA has sanctioned cheerleading as a sport, and it will be treated as such by Watauga High School. To be eligible to try out for a position on a cheerleading team, candidates must be academically qualified and on track for graduation.
