Pep Team

  • The Hoover Pep Team is made up of Cheer, Dance and Pep Flags. All three teams practice in the Small gym at 6:45AM throughout the school year. We cheer at football, basketball, and water polo games as well as competing at several local and national competitions throughout Spring semester. The team is also expected to perform at numerous school and community events such as pep rallies, assemblies, back-to-school night, Relay for Life, etc.

     
    The Cheer team is divided into Varsity and Junior Varsity levels. In addition to cheering at games, the girls are also placed into stunt groups where each member has a designated spot in performing said stunts. No tumbling experience is required but is a plus. The Dance team is a Varsity team and competes Pom, Jazz, Lyrical, and Hip-Hop. Previous experience in one of these styles is preferred upon try-outs. The Pep Flag team has both Varsity and JV teams and competes two routines throughout the season (One flag and two flag). Must be a fast learner and have high attention to detail but no previous experience in twirling is necessary.
     
    Due to COVID-19 our auditions for the 2020-2021 team will be held virtually. Each student auditioning for either Cheer, Dance or Pep Flags will need to submit a 45 second routine that includes specific required elements for each individual team. Applications are due Monday, April 27, 2020. All video auditions must be submitted by 5pm Friday May 1st. No Exceptions! Teams will be announced by 12pm on Monday May 4th posted on our Instagram accounts @hoover_cheerleading, @hooverdance, @hooverpepflags. Students who made the team will be emailed by Ms Anita.
