Announcing Gem City’s All Star Cheer Tryout Date: Sat, May 10
All Star cheer tryouts for Gem City’s 2025-2026 season will take place on Saturday, May 10 for Gem City’s Level 1 and Level 2 Elite squads. The tryout is available for all skill levels and ages 7 to 18.
Gem City will be forming TWO all star cheer squads for athletes— a Level 2 Elite squad and a Level 1 Elite squad. Athletes must be in between the ages 7-15 for Level 1 Elite or ages 12-18 for Level 2 Elite. Find all the details about the cheer squad and the commitment required here.
We highly recommend you consider attending one or more of our cheer clinics being offered in April & May. Get the cheer clinic details in this blog.
All boys and girls interested in our 2025-2026 cheer squad and the tryout process should request information by emailing gemcitytumbling@gmail.com or calling 217.224.8491!
The tryout is from 8:30-10:30 am and is closed, so parents can wait in the lobby or simply drop off and come back at 10:30 am. However, a parent MUST accompany each athlete to fill out paperwork. You will not be allowed to tryout without these forms signed beforehand.
The senior squad is coached by Hope Huff and Ashley Schralla. The junior squad is coached by Haley Epperson and Christian Klingele. You can read more about our all star cheer program here.
