I've wondered about this. All-Star is a different matter, because the people in it typically know what they're in for. In high school/middle school cheer, some people know what to expect and some don't. Others think it's a ticket to popularity and put in as little effort as is possible, so that they can coast through the season and still call themselves a cheerleader. I hope to coach someday and would like to know what you current coaches do to filter out kids like this. I've already heard of things like having each kid submit 2 teacher recommendations for tryouts, but what other tactics do you use?
