1 East Coast Nitros tryout and registration information 1 East Coast Nitros All-Star Cheerleading 114 Sleepy Hollow Drive Middletown, DE

2 Thank you for your interest in the East Coast Nitros All-Star program. Our organization was established in 2002 and continues to grow each and every year. We have won hundreds of local and national titles over the years. We are the first gym in the state of Delaware to be invited to compete at the Cheerleading Worlds in Orlando, FL. Our winning tradition on the National level, combined with athletes continuously progressing their skills with quality paid coaches providing these results is what sets the Nitros above the rest. It s our 10 th season!!! The East Coast Nitros has quickly become the leader in All-Star Cheerleading and tumbling in the tri-state area. We have set the standard to which all others follow-focus, Tradition, and Excellence remain our priority at Nitros. The only facility of its kind that houses the most national and state champions under one roof. We are FOCUSED only on the sport of cheerleading and tumbling and continue to provide a quality of EXCELLENCE that has been established as the Nitro s hallmark. One of the biggest misnomers about the Nitros is that you have to be an expert to be here. Not at all! We love beginners! Let us teach you right from the start how to be the best cheerleader you can be. We will teach you everything you need. Tumbling, stunting, and dance are our specialties! Our tumbling is world famous! Our instructors are the best. You do not need to possess a back handspring to be a Nitro. 2

3 TRAINING EXCELLENCE IN ACTION... INSPIRING EXCELLENCE FOR LIFE!!! BUILDING CHAMPIONS ONE CHILD AT A TIME We currently have teams ranging from levels 1-5, beginner to advanced. Our teams are always highly competitive within their respective divisions. The East Coast Nitros provides the best, most disciplined training in the area. We take pride in our ability to focus specific attention on each individual. We teach our students to excel in all areas of cheerleading and in life. Our students are self-driven and motivated to achieve their goals. We strongly believe that their success originates from the dedication and commitment of the athlete as well as the parent. We encourage positive attitudes and respectful behavior among our students. Our goal is to develop the best squads possible, as well as instill qualities, values, and friendships that can last a lifetime all the while teaching proper morals, ethics, sportsmanship, and responsibility. So, welcome to our family. We re glad you re here. Take a minute to read through this tryout guide and become familiar with our process. If you have any questions, feel free to call the gym anytime We are always here to answer any questions you may have. Be more than part of a team, be part of a nation the Nitronation! Lots of cheer, Glenn and Stephanie Sutch Program Directors 3

4 Program Scholarships: We take pride in being the first ever program to offer scholarships to our athletes. We believe that hard work and loyalty to one program should be rewarded. We were the first to do it and are the only ones in the tri-state area that can offer a double full scholarship. No other program can make that claim. It s only offered here at East Coast Nitros. The DFS or Double Full Scholarship: Got a Double full? Really close to getting one? Then read this! We have a philosophy here at Nitros. We believe hard work and accomplishments should be rewarded. That s why we developed the ultimate goal for parents and athletes. Quite simply, if you can throw a double full twisting layout in our competitions during the season, we will give you a full scholarship for the season. NO tuition, NO competition fees, NO anything. All your fees are covered, except for hotel and travel expenses. Nothing to pay to the gym at all! Just be able to throw a double full at competition and you ve got yourself a full paid scholarship for as long as you want to be a Nitro! No other gym in the country can offer you this! We ve done it here first! We want to reward you for your hard work! No strings attached. A tumble pass of that caliber should be rewarded. Already got your double? Then what are you waiting for? Come to our program and enjoy the benefits of being on a full scholarship. 4

5 The FLS or Family Loyalty Scholarship: Another first and original here at Nitros is the Family Loyalty Scholarship. All-Star cheer takes a lot of hard work and dedication on behalf of the athlete and parents as well. We believe that it should be rewarded. So here s what we do for you: Stay in the program for five consecutive full year national seasons and your 6th season s tuition and those thereafter are absolutely free. Yes, that s right, free tuition for the remainder of your all-star career here at East Coast Nitros. Two incredible scholarship programs for you and your family, all within reach of any family coming into our program. It s no wonder the East Coast Nitros continue to be the leaders in AllStar cheerleading. 5
