I am here to help! Dont listen to people saying its not that hard...u only have to do cheers! well this is the true story:\nYou will probaly have to work with this material: You should learn a cheer,a chant, a dance, two jumps & additional tumbling.\n\nThere are judges from out of town that will be there choosing who makes it. but dont worry. just keep eye contact & SMILE! gurlie...if you dont smile...then you mite as well not be there! Make sure to keep your motions straight & tight. dont yell...people dont want little girls on their team. cheer from the diagrahm,in your stomach,not from your throat. make sure your words are loud short & choppy,dont sing them. SMILE SMILE SMILE.... the worst mistake you can possibly make is to not smile! keep eye contact with the judges. while your doing your dance act like your having fun...put some attitude into it! make sure after your jumps,chants,cheers,& tumbling to show spirit!that means just throw your hands up & yell go team..get spirit,pump it up,things like that. make sure when it is your turn to tryout when you are walking in jump & show spirit as much as possible.what ever you do, do NOT do jumps when it is time to do tumbling skills,so that means no round off toe touches or toe touch handsprings or tucks.wear your hair up in a high pony tail with shorts that are black and not too short & show your butt!wear a short sleeved white tee shirt that is not too tight or not too loose...make sure that when you do jumps,tumbling,etc. that your tummy doesnt show...judges hate to see skin!SMILE,SMILE,SMILE,& SHOW TONS OF SPIRIT,& SMILE!this is my advice that if you follow,you have no reason to worry.make sure that you eat a good meal that day & for the week of tryouts drink lots of water,caffine messes up your voice!SMILE!!!you should do great!good luck!hope this helps!try to remind yourself that your trying out for fun & if you make it GREAT but if you dont,well there's always next year & i've learned from it!good luck!email me if you want any tips..i am a school sideline cheerleader for football & basket ball & am also a competitive all star cheerleader!email cheer1_06@yahoo.com* please if you need any more help!

most gyms (as in places where you do gymnastics, none of that YMCA junk) offer classes to help cheerleaders. if you can't do that then i would recomend just working on your flexibility and stomach, leg, and upper-arm strength.

same here. i want to cheer in high school! and i started doing stuff to get ready for that so do all of this.....\n\nget a book on stretching your body. you need to beable to do the splits and toes touches and the very impotent hurkey! and also get a book on just cheerleading! i LOVE LOVE LOVE! the book: the ultimate guide to cheerleading! by leslie wilson. look for it at the library! and it has EVERYTHING YOU WILL EVER NEED TO KNOW ABOUT IT! cool huh?\n\nso you have to know how to do all of these to be ready to go to tryouts. summersalt, kartwheel,hand stand (if not it's ok but it's very good to know how to do a hand stand to learn a back hand spring!) roundoff,head stand,splits, toe touch (and it helps to know the splits to do a toe touch) hurkey, and ect. as much as you can learn. \n\nmake up cheers and a routine. and go over them.get a book on cheers. \n\nask some cheerleaders at your schools what it takes to be a cheerleader. they can help you. are better yet ask the cheerleading coach. she can really get you going!\n\nremember that cheering is serious and you can get hurt while stunting. so always use your head when cheering and donn't do anything at home like trying to lift your little sis into a lift with you down on the base with your brother!\n\nso jsut do all of that and you will be great! good luck!

I am experienced with cheerleading and it sounds like you're just scared to go up in a full.  You need practice and confidence with yourself and with the bases and back.

That's becoming a problem now, finding a gym that does more gymnastics than cheerleading.  My best advice to you is to search the yellow pages, and then go check each gym out in person.  Checking each one out is the absolute best way to determine a gym's focus.  Make sure to meet the coach that your child will have, and make sure her priorities are the same as the gym.  Also, as a side bit of information, if your daughter does do cheerleading at any time, do not allow her to tumble on the hard wood floor.  I've been a gymnast for 10 years and a coach for 2, and I've seen way too many of our girls come in injured from cheerleading. I myself did cheerleading for 1 year, and I sucessfully blew out my knee and did serious damage to my ankle doing Round-offs, or round-off back handsprings.  Easy tricks, compared to what I do in the gym, but they still put me out of competition, and I may never be able to return.  So, I urge you to share that with your daughter if she ever decides to cheer.  Hope I helped!

Im on the cheer team, and it's not as hard as it sounds. Don't let other people scare you.\n\nIf they have open gym type things, or open practices go to them! (They will teach you the basics so you get an idea of what you will be doing/how to do it) They will benefit you greatly! If the team your trying out for dosn't have them, look up a local gymnastics cheer gym/club, call them up and ask if they have anything where beginners can come and learn the ropes before tryouts.\n\nIf you don't check out something like that, then work on your flexibility now. Practice jumps (if you know the techniques..if you don't & you know someone on the team ask them to show you what to do...this is where those open practices come in handy!)\n\nWork on getting fit. You don't have to be in amazing shape to make cheer because they will get you in shape once your on the team, but it dosn't hurt to start getting your stamina/strength up now.\n\nIn tryouts, learn the dance & cheer and perfect it as much as possible. Even if you screw up in tryouts, just keep going. Don't stand there doing nothing, this will show the judges/coaches that you won't freeze on the mat during a competition or something & that you are resourceful. Do facials, or at the very least just smile! Make it look like you want to be there.\n\nKeep a positive attitude no matter what, and try your best. \n\nIf you can tumble or have cheer/dance experience this will help you in tryouts, but it's not neccisarry. I had no experience what so ever, and so did many people who made the team with me so no worries if you don't.\n\nIf you are interested in learning to tumble, once again call up those local gymnastics gyms and ask about open gyms/practices where you can go and learn. Being able to tumble will give you an advantage, but once again it is not neccisarry, so if your not comfortable flipping then don't sweat it!\n\nHonestly, if your really ambitious and show the judges/coaches that you truely want to be there and want to make cheer a part of your life then you should have no problem! No one is amazing their first time, so if you mess up don't worry. They will take into consideration you have no experience. Do your best & everything will work out!\n\nGood Luck :)
