Hey! My older sister had the exact same problem! But luckily after going through it with her I didn't face it because I helped her with it! When I first tried out I was just really nice and didn't act conceited. I even messed up on the routine I did and you could totally tell but they still excepted me! Now, when we tryout people for our squad I can normally tell what their vibe is and when they act stuck up I say no automatically. Attitude is everything. Just act nice and do your thing! You'll do great. ♥

well- cheerleaders are usually the last thing from shy. maybe you could look into other sports, or just keep practicing your routine. practice practice practice!

ahh i tried out for freshman cheerleading last year..i didn't make it..wanna know why? I totally froze up infront of the judges and messed up the cheer like reallyyyy bad!! so i suggest maybe practicing the cheer alot around people and start out slow (because it may seem like you're going slow but really, you'll get faster))also the judge want you to be loud..just pretend that you're in your room by youself..hope i helped..

Okey, first of all, lets get rid of the nervousness. My drama club teacher taught me this a few years back:: Look right above the judges' heads. If you do that, you wont have to see their faces yet the judges will think you're looking straight at them. Next thing, just say to yourself "Okey, the judges are here for CHEERLEADING, which means I HAVE to be loud." Judges want you to be the best you'll be so they'll know if you're physically and mentally ready for cheerleading. Just remember that the judges arent there to make you nervous or make you scared. They're there to --hopefully-- make you a cheerleader.I hope I helped.

practice the routine over and over again ..
yell from your stomach
ive been cheering for so long ...
dont let the routine mess you up
dont let the judges scare you let them push you to be better ..
i once had to do a roundoff backtuck while my whole team was still so everyone was watching me .. all 7 judges and hundreds/thousands of people in the audience ..
i thougt about how much i wanted to look good and it worked
focus on wanting to do good and practice
]
Try to pretend that there not there...i know that is what everyone says and its hard but thats what i did at beauty and beau and i didnt freeze up like that...GOOD LUCK!
cody
P.s.-try doing it infront of ur parents and stuff for practice to get used to the audience!

well.. you if you cant cheerlead infront of like 3 people, then how can you cheer infront of an entire stadium? well i know its a lot of pressure, but just think about that..anyway when you're trying out..look over their heads..it works wonders..you'll be like 'how is this supposed to help me'..but it will..
I know i didnt really help. but just saying..

Hmm .. at tryouts just try to imagine them in their underwear. Hah, just kidding! But you can try that if you want. Okay, back to being serious. I think you should just simply pretend the judges aren't there. Be yourself while you're cheering and don't TRY to make everything perfect. When I tried out for soccer I tried to do everything perfectly and I only screwed up more. Just cheer like there's nobody watching you, and hopefully you will do fine. I wish you the best of luck! Hope I helped!

tell your self if you really want 2 b a cheerleader you will show what you got and not mess up. or you could practice and practice in front of your family or friends until your sure you could do it in front of the judges

i had the same problem when i tryed out for the first time in 7th grade. someone told me to look over their heads at something on the wall but smile and maybe if you get brave enough look down at them and do a facial or something. lol hope i helped!
