cheerleading
I'm going into high school next year and want to try out for cheerleading because I've been doing gymnastics for a while. Does anybody know what requirements are needed to make it on the team?

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I have been a cheerleader everysince i was in 4th grade now im in 11th and the requirements are usually toe-touch cart-wheel round-off herkie (right or left) tuck (the jump not the backflip) and thats all we have to do but when you go to tryouts they usually teach you a cheer before tryouts and you do it during.
Hope I Helped!

Well I'm a gymnast-gone-cheerleader so I'm hoping maybe I can help you out. It's very similar to gymnastics except more dance oriented. You move constantly for about 3 minutes in a standard routine. Having a gymnastics background puts you way ahead of the game. Especially if you're toned & strong. Another aspect of cheerleading is obviously having spirit & quite the voice. As a cheerleader, you'll need to be ready to shine. Preformance is a huge part too. If you're squad is competitive then you'll be spending great amounts of time in front of an audience. If it's strictly for your school's team then you won't have the same dependibility on overall image but you'll still have to be comfortable in front of a large amount of people. In that case, you'll have to be extra peppy & be able to get the crowd involved. Basically, along with the stunts, tumbles & moves, personality is important. You'll have to be outgoing & very expressive. Good luck! If you need anymore advice on cheering (or anything else for that matter), feel free to let me know.
