Click to change pagination settings

Our goal is to make the 2020/2021 tryout process as simple and low-stress as possible for our athletes and families alike.  Our tryout process is scheduled by level group.  During tryouts, athletes wiill be presented content in a virtual platform for 2 weeks meeting 2 times each week.  At the end of the tryout clinics, athletes will have a routine to present at tryouts to demonstrate their experience and skillset.  We strongly encourage athletes to attend all tryout sessions for their level.

Pro Spirit believes in athlete growth and development as well as team success, so we have teams for athletes of all ages and experience levels, therefore ALL athletes will be accepted as a part of the Pro Spirit 2020/2021 program.  Program announcements will be made following tryouts on 5/18/2020.

This year, COVID-19 has created a unique challenge to our tryout process.  We recognize that athletes have been out of conditioning and performing for a period of time, therefore we will utilize 2 to 3 weeks after tryouts as an athlete re-acclimation period.  We want to make sure that all athletes have a period of time to adjust to training again and allow for the best opportunity for all athletes to be placed on the best team for their skill level.  Therefore team announcements will be made in June.

Please note, ONLY team placements within a program level will be delayed, you still have the opportunity to select your desired program: All Star, Elevate, Hype, Little Gemz, Lucky Starz.
