When I was still in school, I tried out for cheerleader 3 times. The first 2 times I didn't make it. But I wanted to be a cheerleader and so I kept trying. \nFinally on my third try out I made it. \nYou have to decide for yourself how much you want to be a cheerleader. You can give up or keep trying.

Don't cheer unless you want to do well in the sport.  You will be bruised & sore.  Every cheerleader gets kicked in the face at least once... it takes a lot of strength.  It's not a giggle fest like some people think.

I'm a cheerleader too, I know how you feel..I live in a small southern town where football is life and all the girls love to be cheerleaders. We have over 200 girls tryout every year and we also only take 12-15. But the best thing I can tell you to do is smile non-stop, show tons of spirit, practice what they teach you, and most importantly be a confident in yourself and you should do great!! good luck

how in heavens name do you expect to be ready for tryouts if you were out of shape?....you shouldve been working out and training leading up to the tryouts if you want a sporting chance of making the team...my feeling is anyone who shows up out of shape for tryouts doesn't deserve to be on the team...and since you did it doesn't seem you are seriously committed to work hard for the team...i suggest you skip this year and prepare yourself in earnest for next year

Well, I kind of can relate. My best friend just tried out for cheerleading. She was REALLY nervous about it too. She kept on thinking negatively, and she thought she wasn't going to make it. But, then she got really excited and then all of sudden she butterflies in her stomach. Kind of how you are? Well, I got her relaxed by just telling her to BREATHE!!! Then told her to think POSITIVELY!! Think that your a great cheerleader, and if they don't put you on the squad...they are CRAZY!!! Just try to stop worrying, you'll probably do AWESOME!! Try hanging out with some friends to get your mind off of things for a little while. And maybe even practice your cheer! And practice your tumbling, and splits, and jumps. Practice makes perfect! That helped my friend alot when her and I just talked about anything and even though I'm a soccer player I helped her practice her cheer. She even tought the WHOLE cheer to me. And, at the end of it all she ended up making the squad! So, just relax. Im sure you'll do great! GOOD LUCK!!\n\nA quote that I have learned that is kind of inspirational...\n"If you think you can, you can! If you think you can't, then your probably right!" -Mark Kay Ash

Oh! Yes! I love this! I've been cheerleading since 1st grade and I'm a pro. Pointers:\nthey look for awesome toetouches so PRACTICE\nTIGHT MOTIONS, pretend you are knocking down a brick wall\ngood voices, no high-pitched voices\nSMILE SMILE SMILE\nDon't slouch while you're waiting! Cheer stance! (Legs more than shoulder-width apart and hands and arms firmly places behind legs)\nBE LOUD BE PROUD and don't act like you're just in it for the uniform!\nGood Luck! Remember these and practice and you'll be a pro soon enough!

To get in shape for cheerleading, you need to start RUNNING! Oh, I know, GROAN. You can even roll your eyes if you want to, but seriously, you need to. I hated running, but I wanted to get on the squad, and you need to be able to run at least a mile with no struggles. SO, start by running around the block or your neighborhood. Then get going like 1/2 mile, mile, mile and 1/2...so on. \n\nStart lifting weights. Unless you are the lightest person on the team, you are going to be lifting people and supporting your own weight during stunts. Lift a 2 or 3 pound weight and do 10 - 15 reps every other day.\n\nYou need to strengthen your core (back, abs...), so sit ups and crunches are good. Start with 20 every other day and work your way up...\nEat fruits and veggies, eat in good proportions, drink lots of water, and good luck for cheerleading!

im assuming you were on the team last year?\n\nyou have more experience than these newer girls. im sure that counts towards something. i wouldnt worry too much about it.\n\njust make sure you can do elite stuff (scorpions, heel stretches, fold downs) maybe even go to a cheer gym to practice there. this will guarantee you as a top.\n\nand even if you arn't a top, so what? you can base or backspot. its good to try something different. \n\njust because you arn't a top for partner stunting dosn't mean you can't be a top for basket tosses. \n\njust keep working on your skills and try not to sweat it too much. if you really love cheerleading it shouldn't matter to you all that much. \n\n:)

I was a cheerleader in high school. I'm not trying to sound self-absorbed or anything, but I don't think I was stuck up at all. I enjoyed the sport, and I got along with everyone, even though a lot of girls didn't like me, but I was okay with that.

well i am a cheerleader and i stretch everyday if i can...you could start by stretching a little to kinda make your muscles used to being stretched and then gradually increase stretching everyday..soon you will want to stretch and it will be a good thing on helping you throughout the year in cheerleading..<3 much love

Okay, I was a cheerleader.  My squad wasn't great, but I have a little bit of experience.  First off, try this website http://www.mspineapple.com/tryouts.html .\n\nStretch for the splits.  Go as far down into the splits position as you can and sit there for a minute or two.  Repeat for each type of splits.  Also, do straddle stretches (where you sit with your legs apart and bend down.  Try to touch your stomach to the floor.\n\nPractice jumps.  Toe-touches, herkies, hurdlers, etc.  I think hurdlers are easier than toe-touches, but that's me.\n\nUm, about memorizing dances: practice.  If you can get whatever song it is you're supposed to dance to, practice at home.  All you can do is practice.  I stink at memorizing dances, but I got it down as long as I practised.\n\nAnd, to mellogirl89: I don't appreciate your comments.  Yes, many cheerleaders are obnoxious, but my entirew squad wasn't and I'm not.  And I'm not just saying that.  People are always surprised when I say that I was a cheerleader.
