haha. well this year we had that problem. but our coaches cheated with the scores so it didn't really matter if you were good or not for us and now it's a whole big thing but anyways..
tumble has become very important in cheerleading. if you are interesting on doing cheerleading, i would also look into gymnastics.
splits aren't so much important but flexibily is because of the jumps like a toe touch, hurdle, pike, ect. if you don't know what those are you can message me and i'll explain them to you.
their isn't really a set weight to be a cheerleader, but remember they are the ones wearing the short skirts and tight tops.
it's usually not a good idea to start cheerleading for the first time when you are in high school because most of the girls that will be doing it have been doing it probably many years and have a lot of expierence.
but i'd say go for it. cheerleading is very exciting. minus all the drama that comes along with it.
as long as you don't have coaches and a school board like my school, it would be a good time :]

I've been cheering for five years, and I guess I've got some experience, so here ya go..
Usually, it dosen't depend on weight. It just changes what stunt position you have.
Backspot-Taller or heavier girls.
Base-Stronger girls
Flyer-Light and usually small.
Some teams don't base it all on gymnastics, but you may have more of a chance if you learn some.
And I don't know how to do ao split, so yea.. I doubt they worry about that, too much.
YOu should definitely try, whether you think you can make it or not! You never know!!

If you can't do a cartweel or splits, then you can't make the squad. In order to make the cheerleading squad, you have to have a back handspring which is basically a back flip, so I don't think you can try out. If you really want to be a cheerleader, then sign up for gymnastics for a few months until you get the basics, such as splits, cartwheels, back handsprings, etc.
