STUNT is played by two teams who perform preset routines on the playing field at the same time. These routines consist of varying skill levels of partner stunts, pyramids, tosses, jumps, and tumbling. The purpose of each team is to score by executing the routine with fewer errors than their opponent. Routines are selected, performed, and evaluated by officials. Whichever team obtains the most points at the end of the match wins.

What is the cost?
Approximately $150 which includes uniform (jersey and shorts) and league registration fees.
What does the uniform look like?
STUNT uniforms have more of a volleyball appearance verses traditional cheer. It includes a long sleeve jersey, black shorts and white non-slip cheer shoes.
Who do we compete against?
All teams within our district have STUNT teams as well as surrounding areas such a Rocklin, Lincoln, and El Dorado Hills. A majority of our travel for matches will be local. Buses are not provided due to funding. Athletes are responsible to get themselves to and from matches via parent transportation using RJUHSD’s, “Meet Me at the Game” Policy.
How do tryouts work?
Five clinic days will be offered prior to tryouts for athletes to learn stunting and jump technique, practice, ask questions and learn the material they will be evaluated on. Athletes will be split into groups to be evaluated on STUNT technique and also assessed individually on jumps, motions and tumbling. STUNT groups will be placed by coaching staff prior to tryouts so the group will have sufficient time to practice with one another. Outside judges will be brought in to score the athletes. Coaching staff will take notes and have final say on the roster based on attitude and effort displayed at clinics, grades, judge’s scores, attendance, overall talent and technique. It is important you are flexible as we only need so many of each position- the more you are willing to do, the better! Example: Coach Cunha would not select 15 quarterbacks, 5 centers and 1 receiver…
How many make the team?
You need a minimum of 12 athletes and most teams cap their roster at 30. We do not have a set number but are aiming for 24-30 athletes.
Who is eligible to tryout?
Any registered female student at Roseville High School. A physical and MD clearance will need to be completed if you do not already have on file from another RHS sport/activity this year (2016-2017). You must have and maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA. Currently STUNT is a female only sport. Because STUNT has been designed largely to provide a new sport to expand participation opportunities for women and become an NCAA emerging sport, it is currently only for women.
What is the time commitment like?
Once the team is established, matches will be held 1-2 evenings per week and practices will be 1-2 evenings per week. The final schedule will be released by the league mid to late January. Participants should plan on having STUNT Monday-Friday 3pm-8pm in the back of their minds until the official schedule is released. Games begin the last week of February/first week of March and the season runs through beginning of May.
IMPORTANT: This does NOT mean you will be scheduled this entire time. This is merely a broad estimate so families can plan accordingly. Most practices will be approximately 2 hours, once or twice a week. Matches are held 1-2 times per week with start times ranging from 3:45-6:30pm.
