HOW TO PREPARE FOR TCU RANGERSTRYOUTS
The TCU Rangers encompass well rounded individuals of both good character and gameday spirit. Due to their high visibility within our community, we are looking for those that best represent the University in a positive way. How well you work with our coaches, each other, and receive corrections will be highly considered at tryouts. In support of TCU Athletic games and other appearances, commitment to a full year of participation is absolutely mandatory. Our active year begins in April with tryouts and meets again the first week of August for work weeks in preparation for the Fall season. We do not have a weight or height restriction as size ranges fluctuate from year to year, however candidates must possess sufficient physical fitness and proper training to execute all required skills.

JULY/AUGUST – WORK WEEKS
Over the summer, Rangers will be required to learn and review routines/material over video and maintain a workout schedule. The team will re-gather prior to the start of school. The focus of this time is to touch-up and revisit skills, but mainly prep for all football games’. If final changes to team placement and positions are needed, they will be made based on the person's ability to maintain their performance level as well as their ability to work with their peers and coaches.
