Smile, smile, smile.
Ya you're going to hear that alot, but trust me, IT WORKS. Don't walk around with a stupid cheesy smile, just be nice, laugh, have a good time.
Stretch for jumps and keep limber.
Cheer loudly and yell from your diaphram.
Cheerleaders are leaders (obviously ha) so if a judge/coach asks for a volunteer for something jump to it! Leadership skills show greatly.
After tryouts (if you guys have a day to learn things then the actual evaluation) go home and practice, practice, practice. Show your mom, friends, whoever, just get comfortable doing it. Then add in attitude.
Which leads me to my next tip, have an attidude. No not a bad one, a postive one. Like staying happy for example. Add some flare to the dances and cheers to stand out.
Really pop your motions and keep them tight during the chants.

You might not be 100% perfect in everything, but as long as you try, that's what matters. Make sure you have fun doing it and just don't think about failing.
