Question by BonBooskie: How many days should I give the girls to practice before actual tryouts [CHEERLEADING]?
I am coaching A-Team 7th & 8th grade cheerleading this year! I’m not sure how many days I should give them to practice the cheers, chants, jumps, & kicks before actual tryouts! Maybe that Mon Tue Wed Thurs…And make that Friday the actual tryout?

We just did our tryouts. We practiced monday wednesday friday and then monday. We started tryouts yesterday and they finish today.
I think four days is enough. If you really feel like they need more time then give them the weekend but tell them you expect more from them on monday. My old coach said that we could tryout friday or monday, friday means less time to practice but not as harsh judging. monday meant more time to practice but harsh judging.
If you are confident that they have had enough time then friday tryouts seem fair, but be aware that they might take more than one day.
