Wow those poor 2 kids who don't make the cut! Lol
How do you decide how many you will have?
Are these all separate cheer teams or do they overlap? (Like do you have 12 kids that cheer for football and 12 different kids that cheer for soccer?) I know some of them are different seasons, but if they are the same season do they cheer for more than one sport? (For instance at my high school, football and soccer were both fall sports. We only had "fall cheerleaders" that cheered for all football games and some soccer games)

Those two poor kids had less than 60% of the score, that's my cut off point. After that I am only allowed, by the school, to take up to 10 cheerleaders. This year, so far after our meeting, I only have 7 trying out. We just had a referendum to consolidate with another school not pass and there are many kids who are not going to be going to school there next year as they fear most opportunities will be taken away as budget cuts happen. I'm sure that and the fact that last year was nothing but drama I expected low numbers.
In this situation, if only 7 do tryout, I will take all of those that make the 60%, but no less than 5. Granted, if number 6 and number 7 are close to 60% then I will go ahead and take them, but I'm hoping more girls come to the first clinic and I can get at least 8.
As far as what we cheer at, we do home and away games, all varsity basketball tournaments, and at least 1 jv tournament. Our school does not have football, so we only have basketball season to cheer for.
