cheerleading is my life...cheerleaders please
So im a 15 year old sophomore and my dream has always been to be a competiton cheerleader. I am soo dedicated to cheerleading and would do anything to do this. I found a cheerleading place that im going to go to 2morrow to tryout and some people are telling me theres no way i can do it. People are really starting to make me feel down about this. So is competition cheerleading really hard to get into?
Do you have to be a really pretty skinny girl to get in? Im 15...5'6 and weigh 115...and i wanna be a flyer but do i weigh to much to do this or what? this means soo much to me!!

I'm a flyer on a competitive cheerleading team at my high school.. ok first of all not all of the best flyers are extremly light... that's not what makes a good flyer. To be a good flyer you need to stretch EVERYDAY... stretch whenever you get a chance.. watching tv..doing homework etc. Do backbends and hold the splits for a minute or so..and always stretch both sides equal. flexibility plays a huge role so just keep stretching and practice scales/scorps/stretches on your own... becoming flexible DOES NOT happen overnight..it happens over time.. so don't force it or you can pull a muscle and it will take even longer to heal. Also do crunches to strengthen your abs.. having strong abs will help you pull up.. when your a flyer u need to squeeze your butt, and tighten your abs.. doing those two things can already make you 10 pounds lighter to your bases... so even if you have a tiny girl flying but she's all loose and wobbly and doesn't pull up she would feel 10 times heavier then you would in the air. So weight doesn't matter!!!
You have the attitude it takes to do this... I know you can do it! and honestly don't let ANYONE tell you that you can't do something... because if you're determined to be an amazing flyer.. only YOU can do that... so stay positive, never let people bring you down, and don't get discouraged... be patient and give it time!!
You can do it!! shove it in all those non-believers faces!! ;)

you are deffinatly light enough to be a flyer . . but for a competition team you probably have to be an amazing flyer. so that means you should probably have all your splits, Bow & Arrow, Speedy Scorpion, Chin-Chin, Scorpion w/Hand Pull or Point, Scale, Arabesque, Stretch Cross Over, Front Stretch, Front Arabesque, Heel Stretch, be able to twist, do heel stretches with snap up, and be able to fly a basket toss. those are some examples of what you should probably atleast somewhat have.
if you have any questions about what any of these are just ask!

I am a competitive cheerleader and what most people dont know is they arent looking for the skinnest girls with the best jumps .. how you talk to the other girls, how you carry yourself and your attitude really effects a lot. and no matter how much you weigh a good flyer is usually around 5'3. but good luck at tryouts <33

i dont think you way to much but i think for your age group you are way to tall. all the flyers i know are under 5'2 with most of them being under 5 foot.
