Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
hey u can search cheer videos on the internet. try going to a tumbeling class... they teach you hou to do flips and stuff. while you are trying out, smile a lot to the judges and DON'T get nervous. Soffee shorts are the perfect cheerleading shorts! MJ soffee's. Dont freak out if you dont make the team, it is only your first year.ask your friends to help you and good luck. GO FIGHT WIN!

i would see if you can get into any cheerleading camps or something to help you learn cheers.

I'm a cheerleader and it's a LOT of hard work. If you're new at fitness, then you probably need motivation to start working out NOW. Just think about how much you want to make cheerleading next year and start getting in shape now.
Yes, you do need to run, and you'll do a lot of that at practice.
Do cardio and aerobics at least 3 times a week.
Get some dance videos to learn different dances. Like hip-hop, and I know there are some cheerleading videos out there too but I've never gotten any.
If you can, start taking gymnastics and tumbling classes.
Stretch every night and every morning.
Practice shouting. You need to be loud without screaming.
Learn your basic moves (High V, Low V, Tabletops, etc.)
Learn and practice your jumps (Toe touch, Hurkey, Hurdler, Spread eagle)
If you make the team, you'll have to buy your lollies, shoes, socks, and practice uniforms.
Good luck..

I don't know about any dvd's, (except one paule abdule made but i don't recommend that one) but there is Cheerleader magazine! All you really need to focus on for your first-time trying out is your cheer, chant, dance, and jumps. You don't have to worry about tumbling right now because those are just extra points. But when you try out you definitly have to be LOUD. Scream like your on drugs; they love that. Also SMILE like you just got botox and you can't position your face in any other way. Also remember to be extra, extra tight with your motions. And if you mess up, don't freak out just remember your place and keep going. You just need a pair of white tennishoes, simple white shirt and some soffee shorts, if they don't tell you otherwise. Hope I helped and let me know how it goes.
