To be placed on a competitive team for our 2024-2025 season athletes must attend a team placement session. Our team placements are a two-step process this year.

​

EVERYONE MAKES A TEAM!

​

​

STEP 1: INDIVIDUAL ATHLETE ASSESSMENTS - May 13th-17th, 2024

Athletes (new and returning) must attend an individual athlete assessment. Our coaching staff will assess athletes standing tumbling, running tumbling, jumps, and flexibility skills. These assessments will be conducted in small groups and take 30 minutes. Families must register on our website or by calling our front office at 905-819-9042.

​

STEP 2: GROUP TRYOUTS - May 21st-23rd, 2024

Athletes (new and returning) are required to attend one of our group tryouts in order to be placed on a competitive cheerleading team. At group tryouts our coaching staff will assess athletes’ stunting and dance/performance skills. Athletes will be performing a dance at group tryouts. Returning athletes will have the opportunity to learn the dance that is age specific during our "Level Up" clinics in May. New-to-Thunder families will receive an instructional dance video after you register for team placements and our coaches will be able to assist athletes at individual athlete assessments if more support is required. Athletes will be placed on a team where we know they will be the most successful. Team placements are FUN and STRESS FREE! NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY!

STEP 3: CALL BACKS- May 24th-26th, 2024

Families will receive a phone call and email with team placements between May 24th-26th, 2024. Families and athletes that are selected for an ADVANCED or ELITE team must attend the team specific “Meet the Team Night” (May 27th-30th) to complete the registration package, make payment arrangements with our front office staff, learn about the upcoming season, and athletes will be sized for new practice attire and/or uniforms if needed.
