Evaluation Criteria
Participation in Gym-Masters at Southern Adventist University is a demanding, intense physical
activity requiring upper-body and lower-body strength and aerobic conditioning. Candidates
must be in good physical condition and be height/weight proportionate. They must also have
health and hospitalization insurance. There are no minimum/maximum height or weight
requirements. Males and females are equally eligible to try out.
The following criteria are not listed in any particular order of importance or weight. (Criteria for
men emphasizes basing responsibilities.)
Ability to learn and perfect material quickly
Ability to follow direction
Aerobic capacity
Balance (Left & Right heel stretches, Left & Right liberty, handstands, etc.)
Being responsible, dedicated, and coachable
Being a team player
Having a can-do, won't-quit attitude
Projection of energy and enthusiasm from up close and at a distance
Strength (sit-ups, military press, dips, bench press, cleans, etc.)
Stunting (base or flyer)
Tossing (basic flying positions, fair, tuck, pike and layout)
Tumbling (standing and line tumbling; front, back, and twisting tumbling; aerials; etc.)
Vertical jumping ability
Flexibility (all three splits, back and shoulders)
Tumbling and Stunting Requirements
No specific tumbling or stunting skills are required for candidates to be eligible to try out.
Options in each category will be provided. If you can do it, show it. The more difficult the skill
gymnasts can demonstrate in each category, the more credit they will earn. Candidates must be
comfortable enough with any tumbling or partner stunt skill they attempt to perform to be on the
mats without a spotter. Attempting a skill you cannot do well or that scares the audience
demonstrates undesirable recklessness. A person could potentially make the team without
specific tumbling or partner stunting skills if he or she exceptional in other aspects of their
evaluation (as presented above) and is willing to learn to tumble and partner stunt.
Partner stunts may be learned during try outs; however, it is very difficult to advance quickly
during the tryout period. It is helpful for candidates to have had experience before coming to
tryouts.
All candidates are expected to accept the coach's decision as final and binding.
