Tryouts
Here's a step-by-step guide to our tryout process:

Open to All
The Oxford Sirens believe in providing opportunities for everyone who has a passion for cheerleading. No previous experience is required to try out for our squad. You only need to be a member of the University of Oxford and able to commit to the team.

Sign Up
Ready to take the first step towards joining the Oxford Sirens Cheerleading squad? Sign up for tryouts in our sign up sheet posted on our Facebook, Instagram and website. Once you've signed up information about tryouts will be sent to you. To choose the members of the teams all participants must show a number of skills, these include dance, stunting and jumps. 

Learn the Routine
Tryouts consist of a dance routine specifically designed for the audition process and that will be performed for the coaches on the day of tryouts. The routine will be posted on our Instagram and Facebook for you to learn in your own time or to learn in practice sessions that will be run at the Iffley Sports Centre. The routine will showcase your potential and allow us to assess your skills.

Master the Jumps:
Jumps are an essential component of cheerleading and this will also be assessed during tryouts. On our Instagram and Facebook pages the jump sequences will be shown to be learnt by all participants. On the day of the tryouts you will be given the chance to demonstrate to the coaches your ability to execute jumps with precision and style on a spring floor.

Learn Stunting Skills:
We will also introduce you to some basic stunting skills during the tryout process. This will be observed by the judges during your tryout session. This allows us to assess your willingness to learn and your potential for growth.

Tumbling skills 
For our Level 3 team, tumbling skills can also be assessed by our L3 coach. Upon signing up participants are given the opportunity to inform us of their tumbling skills and will also be expected to tumble at tryouts. For the Level 2 team no tumbling is required. 

Results
Once tryouts are finished successful participants will be contacted and assigned to a team.
