Well I haven't been in this situation but I would do one of 3 things:\n\nDo you love cheerleading more than anything you're involved in? If you truely do, you might want to quit the thing you have Sunday. Unless it's something you really can't get out of. I'm not trying to tell you to give up something else you love. But it's an option..\n\nIf your coach sees that you work really really hard in the practice you can go to, maybe you can go to one of the practices and a half-hour or so of the Sunday practice. If possible, ask to set up some private time with your coach outside of practice time so they can show you the things that you missed. They may not have time to do this. But they will respect you for asking and trying your best.\n\nIf that doesn't work out, is there another team you can try out for? Maybe your coach can recommend you to another team. \n\nIf it doesn't work out this year, remember to keep practicing and stay in shape. Show your dedication and come back next year. Try as hard as you can. I hope it works out for you! Have fun and good luck!

It definitely depends on your school. My daughter cheers on Varsity at her school and only her and one other girl have backhandsprings. I am an allstar cheer coach as well. Tumbling is not everything in cheerleading. We have girls who do not tumble at all but still are amazing cheerleaders. They have beautiful jumps, motions, etc. One thing to definitely work on is your flexibility.  If a backhandspring is required then call around to some allstar cheer gyms or gymnastics centers and see if they offer cheer tumble classes. Good luck!

tell her that you might need, say, another drummer or something else that she'd be good at. but still feature her, so that she's not feeling like she was just put in the back for you to have all the glory. hope this helps!\n\n.:Lark:.\n\nlark_rose12@yahoo.com

Yes! Get your spelling on the ball first!...\nThen - as any good coach should know - simply ask her if there are any specific areas of your game that she thinks you should work on, and HOW (Very important: skill isolation drills must focus on the particular skills you need to develop, not just general ball-skills). For example: just practising your shooting is ok... but if you want to improve your accuracy of shooting - try landing your shot on a particular section of the goal rim 10 times...\nAs for feeling embarrassed/shy about approaching her - hmmm, maybe you admire her a bit TOO much. Don't be in awe of her - if she is genuinely your coach then it is her role to improve you and all the other players as a team - together.\n\nBest of luck

Being a cheerleader in two simple steps:-\n\n1. Have your brain removed and placed in a bucket (just in case later you realise that you need it after all)\n\n2. Get someone to superglue your face into one of those fixed vacuous bimbo smiles\n\nThen..... Hey Presto! you're a cheerleader!!!\n\n[just love how the cheerleader giving advice below spells "school" as "skool"... just about says it all, really]

As a current cheer coach, first and foremost I would have to tell you to be ready.  Know your routine backwards and forwards, and keep your movements sharp.\n\nBe loud, but not shrill....use your diaphragm.\n\nBe enthusiastic and don't stop smiling.  Most of all have a good time.\n\nGood luck

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!

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 :)

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.
