BOOK YOUR INDIVIDUAL SKILL
ASSESSMENT
If you are new to PA or were not in one of our programs this season, you will
need to schedule a free Individual Skill Assessment. Individual Skill Assessment
is a one-on-one 15 minute evaluation where one of our friendly and helpful
coaches will take your child through a tumbling and jump evaluation to determine
their skill level. Athletes will be encouraged to show the full range of their skill set
within a nurturing environment – we want to help your child be their best!
STEP # 1
REGISTER EARLY AND SAVE!
Register for tryouts and pay your downpayment before April 15th and save on
both the downpayment AND monthly tuition fees for the season!
There will be a $50 tryout fee that will be applied to the first month tuition for
those who wish to wait to register for teams until after team placements.
STEP #2
ALL ATHLETES - ATTEND TEAM PLACEMENTS
ALL athletes (new and returning) must attend TEAM PLACEMENTS. This is
where we will do group skills like stunts and basket tosses. To be considered for
a PA All Star team you MUST attend these sessions.
STEP #3
