Interested in Becoming a Member of the UM Competitive Cheer Team?
The University of Montevallo Competitive Cheer Program will be holding a Spring Stunt Clinic on Saturday, February 16, 2019 from 1-5 p.m. in Myrick Gymnasium. Following the clinic, the program will have a Spring Signing Day on Tuesday, March 5, 2019. All potential student-athletes interested in signing are encouraged to attend the Spring Stunt Clinic.
What does “Signing” mean?
Signing to be a member of the UM Cheer team means a year-long commitment to participate in summer practice and camp, all team practices and workouts throughout the year, game days, and competition. Signing in March will guarantee your spot on the team and a $1,000 scholarship.
Your scholarship agreement will be sent via email, and you will be officially announced as a member of our team on March 5

Tryouts:
The UM Competitive Cheer Program will still be holding a tryout May 10-11, 2019, in the McChesney Student Activity Center. If you have already signed to be a member of our program, this will serve as a placement tryout whether you will be placed on our JV or Varsity team. If you make the Varsity team, your scholarship will increase from your original signing amount. If you missed our signing day and still would like to be a part of our program, you can still attend tryouts and potentially receive a scholarship; however, your position or scholarship amount are not guaranteed. To be eligible to tryout (if you have not already signed), you must have a letter of acceptance from the University of Montevallo admissions office, or currently be enrolled as a full time student at the University. We will need all of the following from you turned in on the first day of tryouts:
- 2019-20 UM Cheerleading Application (PRINT)
- Physician’s physical release form, dated within the last 12 months and signed by a doctor (PRINT)
- Release and Waiver of Liability Agreement Form (PRINT)
- Sickle Cell Form (PRINT)
- Front and back copy of insurance card
- Copy of letter of acceptance to the University of Montevallo
All candidates must be current University of Montevallo students, transfer students who have been accepted to the University of Montevallo, or incoming freshmen who have been accepted to the University of Montevallo. Those who make one of our teams will be asked to attend our first team practice on Sunday, May 12.
