They are mad at you because they probably think you don't care about the team and aren't comitted. Except why they are mad at you and move on. At practice prove them wrong. Go the extra mile and work hard. Don't cry in front of them though. Don't let them get to you. If they keep on being rude that's there problem not yours so forget them!

The reason why your teammates feel this way is because they feel you aren't committed to cheering. By the sounds of your actions they probably think that you're doing a "half-ass job". In order to solve this problem, you need to prove them wrong. Come to every practice and every meet and devote a lot of time to cheering for them to be convinced. As for tomorrow, just hold your head up and don't worry about it. As hard as that may sound, just say to yourself that they don't know anything about you and don't let them get in the way with you and your cheering.

The only problem with avoiding their taunts is that once that they see it isn't having any effect on you, they will give you a harder time. If that's the case, clear up the misunderstanding and talk to them. Tell them that your sorry for not being able to make it (remember to tell them why you couldn't make it too, justify yourself) and that in order for the team to succeed, everyone must work together and get along. Also explain how you will make it up to them within the coming weeks by not letting them down. Hopefully by then they'll lay off with the drama.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

Why would you go to competitions if your not going to be competeing? The team is really immature if their doing this to you. I think you should talk to the coach about it! The coach will definatley help you...and if the drama keeps on going..and theres no hope..quit the team..Theres other cheerleading gyms you can join right? Like all-stars or something..
