OPEN GYM DATES:
All open gyms are from 2:00-4:00 PM in the Champions Training Center on our El Dorado campus.
The purpose of open gym is to allow candidates insight into the program as well as daily practice routines. They will also be allowed to showcase and work on their jumps, tumbling and stunting skills. Release forms are necessary and are available for download on our webpage below. Open gym attendance is not required. Open gyms are open to the public. Scholarships may be awarded prior to tryouts.
A mascot position is also available. If you have interest in that position, please complete the tryout application stating it is for the mascot position.
