Cheerleaders are nothing but airheads that look good and move well.

1. Stretch thoroughly before you begin. Otherwise, you may strain or tear a muscle. This can be very painful, so be careful!\n   2. Make sure you have a trained coach who can support your body weight and is certified in gymnastics, acrobatics, or cheerleading.\n   3. Listen to your coach. He will probably help you with a few basic drills to build up to your back tuck. These could include jumping backwards onto your back on a mat, or using a wedge or cheese mat.\n   4. You need to be able to confidently perform simple moves such as a forward roll, backwards roll, handstand, cartwheel, round-off, front walkover, back walkover, and back handspring. These skills provide you with the strength and balance needed to perform a back tuck.\n   5. Begin on a good trampoline. It's best to wear a leotard or a t-shirt and cotton shorts. Jump as high as you can, pushing off through your toes. Keep your arms down by your sides, or slightly out in front of you. To get a feel for this move, stack mats five feet high behind you. Jump as high as you can, pushing through your toes, keeping a straight body, and having the correct arms position. Jump onto your back, tuck tightly, and do a backwards roll. Once you are comfortable with this, move to the next step.\n   6. Jump high, with the body position discussed in Step 5. When you have reached a good height, raise your arms up quickly and tuck tightly. Hold your knees. Pull your body over, and land erect, absorbing shock by bending your knees.\n   7. Once you are confident with this, try piecing this together in the simple tumbling pass round-off back-handspring back-tuck. Eventually, you will progress to a standing back tuck.\n   8. Good luck, and have fun!

Maybe start a kissing booth? Or get people to hire you out for birthdays or whatever, you could go and chant and kick for them.\n\nGood luck! And I hope to God you're better looking than our uni cheerleaders (big butch Scary Marys, the lot)

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

Hey, that's great you are trying out for cheerleading! And you sound very prepared, but just some tips for tryouts...\n\nBe fit, on time and enthusiastic. Be prepared and alert to follow instructions. Keep a \npositive attitude. Always have a smile on your face! \n\nListen to your captain/instructor. Don't play around with other people too much, I mean, be friendly, but this is serious work. Pay attention to steps you will be asked to follow, because you will learn something and then you have to preform it on the spot!\n\nDon't be late for ANYTHING. Show up 3 hours early if you have to! 3 hours LATE will piss them off for sure!\n\nBe sure to stretch real good before and after tryouts. Don't attempt moves unless you already know them or have trained for them. It will cause injury and annoy other team mates.\n\nNEVER be afraid to ask a question (it's better than not knowing and making a fool of yourself), but don't say something like "I can't do this", no one needs - nor likes - a quitter, and that will send you packing SO fast.\n\nIf you make a mistake, move on and don't cause attention. Have tight moves and high jumps, and cheer LOUD!\n\nGet lots of rest the night before, don't try and do too much physical activity the day before besides stretching or practicing a rountine, bring snacks and lots of water, don't wear jewlery, don't wear makeup, don't chew gum, keep your hair puled back, and most importantly keep that smile and passion!\n\nI hope you have fun and make the squad! Good luck!

anything that requires physical skill is a sport to me.  Not just anybody can be a cheerleader.  It takes a lot of training to be a great cheerleader.

Be a cheerleader. Softball players tend to get really big legs. Yes, I understand it's a generality, and superficial. But I've found it to be the case.

My cheer team went to Nationals in March, and the best  thing besides being 100% prepared and completely confident in every move, jump, and stunt is to practice in front of an audience.  \n\nFind out how large the floor you'll be performing on is, and measure the outline with tape on the gym floor or wherever you practice.  Go over how you will enter and exit the floor again and again.\n\nInvite everyone you know to watch your squad perform.  We had more experienced cheerleaders and coaches from other teams critique us, and we performed three times.  The bigger the audience, the more you will be prepared for the competition.\n\n\nMake sure to practice your facials, especially in front of an audience! Sometimes when you're nervous, you think that you are smiling but you aren't.\n\nMake sure to be full of spirit, because that's one of the things that the judges will look for!\n\nHave lots of fun, good luck!

At my school, it's about who you know, not what you know.  You have to be able to do a roundoff backhand spring and be a good cheerleader.  Stiff, loud, smile.

Begin by listing goals and objectives based upon age and ability.\n\nIf there are common stances and stunts that everyone will need to perform, begin by teaching that to everyone.  Then expand by listing their physical skill range and ability by individual.\n\nSet goals for each in accordance with age and ability.  Challenge everyone in the program to do something new before exiting the program.\n\nMost cheerleading programs are 5 days to 1 week in duration.  It will be important to organize the information for each participant in such a way as to enable you to appoint a skill or stunt in accordance with a progressive ability chart.  In other words, it may be safer to teach stretches before teaching splits.  Their physical well-being will be left to you to provide for.  That is a very serious responsibility.  Injuries sustained should be seen to immediately.  First Aid protocol needs to be established and adhered to.  \n\nMeals, if provided, or snacks should be healthy and suitable to build strong bones and muscle.  \n\nTo write a proposal for a cheerleading program:\n\nObjective:  To establish a cheerleading program for girls ages 5 to 12.\n\nGoals:  To enable each participant to learn new skills and proficiencies within the field of cheerleading.  New cheers, as well as, formations are placed.\n\nDay 1:  Each participant will demonstrate abilities.  Ability level will be accessed based upon fluidity of movement and agility.  New cheers will be distributed for memorization.  The postures will be established on Day 2.\n\nDay 2:  Assemble each person into groups of same or similar skill ability.  Focus on one cheer per group for this exercise.  Allow opportunity to practice informally, then formally.  Show them how it is to look either in photograph form or video.  Give them instructions on performing the next level of skill or stunt so that they may practice it at their leisure before dismissing.\n\nDay 3:  Assemble and divide.  Repeat Day 2 as needed.\n\n...\n\nDay 5:  Assemble.  Practice and perform skills and stunts in accordance with age and ability levels.  Focus on upcoming exhibition for parents, coaches, and players.  Invite anyone who is involved with sport activities in which cheerleading will be appropriate (always include principals...whether they actually attend or not).  Congratulate, distribute awards in a formal setting, and pat yourself on the back for a job well done.

drink lots of water and eliminate high calorie foods. if you want a snack or something after school, go for carrots or something. avoid sodas and gatorade, despite what commercials say. water is the best drink. make sure you get plenty of exercise outside of cheerleading, too. have flabby arms? lift weights. have a not so tight tummy? do crunches and leg lifts. not so great legs? running is the best answer. if you like how you look though, don't worry about it. just because you aren't a stick doesn't mean you're not healthy. if you're really concerned, go to your doctor and ask for their advice. hope i helped a bit!

Your friends should support you, and if they don't, they aren't real friends and forget them.\n\nAnyway!\n\nYou need stunts like back handsprings, front handsprings, front and back tucks, cartwheels and round offs, aerials...\nYou need jumps like herkies, toe touches (doubles too) or spread eagles, pikes...\nAsk current and/or previous cheerleaders what is expected, and also check with the coach for any questions you have.\n\nBefore you do anything I am about to tell you, STRETCH. Stretch after as well, we don't want injury, or you definitely won't make the team!\nTo get that find a good gymnastics place in your area. Start working once a week in a class, and move up. Tell them your goals and they will help you along.\nIf you aren't running, START. You need to be able to run AT LEAST a mile without getting tired. Start out just running around the block if you want. Move up to 1/2 mile, mile, mile and 1/2. Pace yourself, we have a while to work, and make sure you always have water, don't wear yourself out. \nYou need strong arms to support people, start lifting some weights. 2-3 pound weight is good, 10 15 reps every other day, you'll start to add muscle. Do push ups too. \nStrengthen your core, sit ups and crunches, those will help your stunts and jumps.\n\nFor the actual TRYOUTS...\nBe fit, on time and enthusiastic. Be prepared and alert to follow instructions.\nKeep a positive attitude. Always have a smile on your face! \nListen to your captain/instructor.\nDon't be late for ANYTHING.\nBe sure to stretch real good before and after tryouts. Don't attempt moves unless you already know them or have trained for them. It will cause injury and annoy other team mates. \n\nGood luck!
