Judging & Scoring• We provide a fair and un-biased tryout process.• Judges are not affiliated with Pioneer Trail or any

feeder schools.• Points are tallied in the tryout room by office staff.• Teams are selected based on individual numerical

scores. The girl with the highest scores gets her first preference. This continues until all of the slots are filled, or there is a natural break in the scores.

Concerned about the Cost?? • Everyone is highly encouraged to participate in the

fundraisers provided. • Be creative! How can your daughter earn some

extra money? • Former squad members may be interested in

selling their gently used items to new squad members.

• See coach with individual concerns or questions about expenses.

What if I Don’t Make the Team?• Tryouts can be a stressful experience. We hope to

provide a process that is positive and learning-centered.

• Per district policy final scores are kept confidential.• If you feel the need, you may set up an appointment

with Mrs. Carpenter (Assistant Principal). At this meeting we will provide a Strengths/Weaknesses sheet demonstrating areas that your candidate could improve on for next time.
