Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
Every School is different when it comes to sports. For my school, i had to learn a dance that they taught to every person trying-out. (We had practices before the try-outs.)
Dance: Make sure that your motions are really sharp. so sharp that your arms hurt. Count in you head so that you dont get off count
Jumps: stretch alot a while b4 your try-outs, so that your legs are at the most flexability point. POINT YOUR TOES and land on your toes! the judges will look for the small things as well as the big things.
*I found out for jumps like the toe touch,look at high up and stare at that point this will make your jumps look higher.*
Cheer: Again, make sure that your motions are tight. BE LOUD. Some coaches want their girls to yell in a deep voice and other coaches want you to sound like a girl, so try to find out how they want you to sound like.
Tumbling: If your school has any tumbling requirements, make sure that when you o tumble it isnt sloppy looking.
Stunting: if your basing, keep your back straight. flying keep everything locked legs, squeeze your butt, dont look down look straight out.

it really varies alot. you'd have 2 ask your school, or the coach. but in our requirements, we have 2 be able 2 do a back hand spring and get our jumps pretty high. good luck!!

ive never tried out but last year in middle school you had to go to like a 2-3 day camp and they would seperate you into groups and they would teach each group a dance and then the last day of the camp you would have to perform the dance with your group and they would judge you on that. but that was for middle school, im not sure about high school. and ive never tried out for cheerleading!

I haven't tried out yet, but I did a little research! On most squads tumbling is either mandatory or really good for your score. You have to do a leat one dance, chant, and cheer. On some squads you have to take a cheerleading safety quiz. check out www.about.cheerleading.com
Hope I helped!

for our squad we just had to show them a dance, cheer, 1 or 2 jumps, tumbling, & a few stunts of your choice.

I havent tried out yet, in fact i am trying out in MAY! But from people that I have talked to, its not hard, they just make it sound hard. They maek the tryouts like so formal and like they have lots of rules, but its only like 3 minutes or cheer, dance, maybe a chant, and osme tumbling and your good. Tipically, they will hold a clinic teaching you a dance, cheer or something and you will perform it at tryouts. When you try out be really enthusiastic and practice your sequences at home! BE SHARP! good luck!

Well at my school, they teach you a cheer, they teach a chat, n they teach you a dance. and they make sure you have it during the first 2 days of tryouts.. Then the 3rd day of tryouts you go up infrontof the coaches by yourself and do the best gymnastics and jumps((toetouch etc.)) you can.. then you go up in gorups of 5 and do your chant a few times for the coaches. then the 4th day you do your dance and the cheer in groups of 3 of so infront of your coaches, then on the 5th day u go in one by one and hear if you made it. Thats how our school works anyway, i dont know if other schools do it differently.. Be perky, dont wear a lot of make up it takes the coaches eyes away from your skill, do the best you can.. Good Luck!
