okay I have not cheered since I was like 5, but last year my sister was on a cheer squad and I went to all of her football games. So, I knew just about every cheer by the 2nd game. Im a fast learner. I want to get on a competition and fieldside squad and I want to know what things I need to be able to do. I cant do very much just regular cartwheel, handstand, almost got my heel strecth, and Im pretty flexible. What else do I need to know? and any tips on how to acheive them?

I have been a cheerleader since I was in 3rd grade and I am now on a competitive squad. ( All-Star) When I tried out I had to show them some tumbling which was ( if you had it) a back handspring (running and standing. You need to be able to do jumps:
Toe touch
pike
hurkey
hurdler
Keep on stretching. The more flexible you are the better your stunts will look. Take flying classes at an all-star gym near you. Go to gymnastics to improve on tumbling maybe even a camp. I am going to Camp Woodward with part of my team to get more tumbling skills. You need to know most of the motions. Work and practice hard. Stretch your heel stretch, scorpion, bow and arrow and arabesque every night and to help with splits, if you have a clear wall in your home, lay your back on the floor and put your legs in a straddle position on the wall. Your butt should be against the wall. Stay like this for 15 minutes and if you have a family member to help you, ask them to gradually push your legs down. This will be awkward at first but you need to get used to the flexibility and the stretch. I have amazing flexibility and when I started I had none. I also have no flexible people in my family. This stretch will work.
Hope I helped!!!
