Tryouts: Looking the Part

In addition to being a member of the Spring Valley Heat open coed level 6 team, I coach the Daniel Boone Blazers 5th grade competition squad. Every year I hold tryouts with the same expectations in terms of what the girls' appearance should look like, so they can gain experience for what middle school and high school tryouts will be like. They are scored on their appearance as well as their abilities, which include:

1. All hair is to be all the way up and pulled back off of the face (including all bangs)
2. T-shirts are to be tucked into the shorts
3. Absolutely no tank tops
4. No rolling the shorts
5. Must wear white ankle socks with cheerleading sneakers
6. No nail polish
7. No hair ties, bracelets, earrings, necklaces, etc. should be worn

If any of these rules are not followed, points are taken off of their appearance score. They may seem a bit strict; however, these girls will be entering middle school and high school relatively soon. I want them to be familiar with this whole process so they can know what is expected of them.
