Cheerleading
Tryouts
Paola Cheerleading Tryouts are held in May. All tryout participants attend a cheer clinic prior to tryouts and learn one cheer, one chant, and jump. Participants try out, in front of two non-biased judges, in groups of three. Paola Middle School has two separate cheer squads: Football Squad and Girls Basketball Squad. Participants may try out for one squad or both squads (prioritizing the order of their selection).
Games
Cheerleaders on both squads will only cheer at HOME games. We do not travel to away games.
