-If you remember some of the things that you did for warmups before practice, those would probably help you out a bit also. ]
Practice on your toe-touches and stretch everyday to regain your strength and flexibilty I suggest you do butterflies and stretch your cafs musles and legs again so you can do splits and backflips practice doing your cartwheels so your can also practice on your back by doing bridges and it will helped to do backflips again
just run everyday and maintain a healthy weight and drink lots of protein and vitamins
you will do it
hope i helped ]
go running for 45 minutes everday. stretch well before and after. this way you will get back in shape and be more flexible. here are some stretching activites to try. =]

i'd do a competitive team, intill football or basketball next year or whatevs.. & take tumbling too. & exercise. & if you can buy a trampoline.
Being on a competitive team, will help with your cheers & stuff. [which you'll probably need if you haven't cheerleaded in over a year..]
you neeeddddd tumbling. if your not flexible at all, then you really really need tumbling. tumbling will tottally get you flexible & in shape.
trampolines are great too..[depending where you live if its snowing outside or not..] but, well when summber comes deff. get a trampoline. you can practice all over your jumps, & flip on there.
do all of that, & be really devoted to it, & you'll make basketball or football cheerleading.
But, make sure you really wanna be a cheerleader, because its pretty devoting. I've missed alot of fun things, just because I had to be like 3 hours away from home for cheerleading. like, parties & stuff.
& depending where you live.. or go to cheer..it will most likely be probably every day. so your also probably giving up.. 4 hours of your time [that include cheerleading & tumbling]
so, also make sure you have the time.
cheerleading is veryy fun though. (: ]
