Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
just practice your clapping for cheers and practice being tight when you cheer! work on jumps too they always like to see jumps. also if you can tumble do any thing you can do like a round off back handspring if you can.
good luck and have fun

i could not possibly say this enough, stretch stretch stretch stretch!!!!, you have to be super flexible, and major stiff, especially if your planning to be a flier, need to have a really good memory, your going to have to memorize alot, be loud, peppy happy, lol , and yes i would work out, try danicing to upbeat music, then mediatate for a cool down, that always works, (meditate as in sit there and free your mind, dont think about anything in other words), hope u make it!!
Jasmine,

Okay, when your trying out theres a few things you MUST remember when trying out in front of the judges:
SMILE & be PEPPY: basically be the bubbliest, loudest and happiest out of them all- believe me they notice! And when your going into the tryout room, cheer as your coming in! Show the judges something different.
Facials: Basically...look like a retard c[= you need to make different facials-just smiling doesnt cut it, they want personality so you hav to hav the best personality there
Sharp Motions: NO water movements, sharp and precice. a high v cant look like a t; it needs to be sharp and defined.
Just believe you can do it, dont hold back! Be peppy and have spirit, remember that wat a cheerleader does they LEAD the CHEERing; you are responsible for keeping the spirit up for your whole school! You can do it, good luck!! <3

I juist strted cheerleading too. I learned our half time show in less than 2 practices. Each practice was about 3 hours. I am a dancer and I play lacrosse so I learned fast. I learned all the cheers as well. Now I lovee cheerleading. As long as you set your time to it, practice, practice, practice, smile, and be loud. When you yell its from your stomach and you should feel your stomach go up and down.
Hope I helped!
Cheerleading is a great sport!

ok cheerleading is not super lame first of all.
Ive been cheering for 7 years competitivly and in school, and when it comes to High SChool judges, these are key factors they look at when scoring you:
SMILE - OMG SMILE EVERY SECOND YOUR TRYINGOUT
SHARP MOTIONS - work on your motions, such as high v, low v, T motion, touchdown, half high v, etc, so you can be ready for when they teach you a tryout cheer. Be really sharp and practice your motions constantly (motions are incorperated into almost everything in cheerleading)
JUMPS - stretch everyday. sit in a straddle and go to teh right, then the left, then the middle, and repeat everyday so you have good jumps!
Tumbling will help your chances, but it is not necessary. Cheerleading is so much fun and tahts cool that you are trying it out! If you have anymore questions, you can ask in my inbox :D good luck!

I can't say that I'm a cheerleader, or that I can teach you a back handspring but I would suggest that you hit the gym. Perhaps even consider getting a private coach. If you've never cheered before and you have never done gymnastics this will be a difficult task but not impossible. If this is something that you really want to do and you plan on dedicating yourself to this sport, then go for the gold and reach for the stars! It will be hard, but rewarding.

Go out there, do your routine, and BE LOUD!!! Ceerleaders have to be loud. Smile all the time, and give the judges something worth watching!!! GOOD LUCK!!

Oh yes you do alott.
I tried out for cheerleading.
If you are not used to stretching out and all those types of workouts for your legs you better start now because you are going to be soar after believe me.
It's not that easy as it looks.
You have to put in so much effort into cheerleading.
They workout with you before tryouts/practices.
Goodluck, if you need anything else drop one in my inbox ♥
