The YSU cheerleading team is accepting video tryout submissions until May 1. Tryouts were recently held for the 2015-16 squad, but to allow for more members, Coaches Michelle Markota and Jenna Schneider are allowing candidates to submit video tryouts.

Videos should be submitted to both coaches at the following email addresses: [email protected] and [email protected]

A reminder to all candidates to make sure that you meet all requirements and can start with open gyms and practices as soon as possible.

How video tryouts work: Record the following skills and send them to the Coaches' emails. The video needs to be simple and accurate to your current ability.

Start with a fast introduction telling us your name.
