CONGRATULATIONS TO THE 2011-2012 UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON CHEERLEADERS!!!
UD host tryouts twice a year in the Spring and Summer, if there are still spots available from the Spring tryout. Interested individuals must submit an application on or before the scheduled try-out date. Although it is not required it would be very beneficial for candidates to come to all scheduled prep clinics before try-outs. Tryouts for the 2011-12 season will take place April 8-10, 2011. If you are unable to participate in the scheduled tryout date you may submit your tryout by DVD with your application no later than March 31, 2011. If you are trying out by video you must perform all skill listed below for the squad you are trying out for on a cheer floor.
