So Nervous About Cheerleading Tryouts... Any advice?
Question Posted Saturday April 23 2005, 6:42 pm
I'm trying out for the JV Cheerleading team for my freshman year on Monday. I'm really nervous and I wanted to know if theres anything you should really know. I was just wondering if there was anything specific. Good advice means a good rating. :)

Just smile, be stiff and look at the judges, Look cute. dont wear too much make up and wear your hair up and nice but keep it out of your face. Do somthing catchy and entertaining not to get the judges bored!!
