Cheerleading/Pom Pom Girl
I kinda want to be a cheerleder. im not really sure but i really would like to do a fun sport like that. i do gymnastics but i want to do something school related. the thing is im not good at cheerleading. i tried last year and didnt make it and im def. not the type of popular girl who would try. my biggest problem is that i cant memorize things easily. having this problem honestly should i try or not? its not a life dream or anything just something i thought might be fun to try. so if i wont be good at it and make it i dont want to put the time into it and practice and get my hopes up to crash and burn. try-outs arent until april or sumthing obviously so its not like really soon or anything. or maybe pom-poms. i would def. like to be a pom-pom girl. is it easier or harder? i think i would actually prefer that then cheerleading. is anyone a pom-pom girl? and still would not being able to quickly memorize routines a problem? thanks so much and i will rate all helpful advice! :D

Gymnasts & cheerleaders have a lot in common because the moves cheerleaders do require the work of a gymnast.
If they ask you to do something, you should know what it is because of doing gymnastics. Ask a cheerleader what you need to learn, ask if she can help & then keep doing it & nail it at practice. If you do the same routine over & over, it'll become second nature & there's no way to mess it up.

Im a cheerleader and its tons of fun. Pom pom looks like it would be fun also, but my school doesnt have it so I never really got to see it ex. at half time when other schools girls would dance. Im not a preppy girl and most ppl still dont know Im a cheerleader bc I dont act like it.
If you cant memorize things well, Im sure some girls will help you, or even the coaches. You didnt say how old you were, but a girl this year, shes a senior, never did cheerleading, and made it. Her jumps are good, but she cant memorize. So start working on jump, now. Here are some thing you can do to make your jumps higher and get your legs far apart(im bad at explainthing this, but I hope you get what Im trying to say)
Sit on the floor with your legs apart. Place your hands infront of you, close to your vargina. Lift one leg off the ground and move them in a circular motion backwards. Try 5 at first(if they are easy to you bc you are a gymnasts like me, then do more untill it hurts.) then do the other leg the same number of times. Do this twice a day. And do 20 jumps of the same jump a day.
Another thing is for your toetouches, to make your legs remember to snap together at the end. Just stand striaght, and do a little jump, and make your legs spread a little, then snap them together before hitting the ground. That sounds like it wont help, but it really will. Bc most ppl when they jump dont snap their legs together.
If there is anything else you want to know, or want some more tips, just let me know and Ill tell you more! =D
it would never hurt. Bc then you would wonder what would of happened if you did make it. Just do what I said with the jump, but Im sure you jumps are already good bc of gymnastics. Ask a friend who is a cheerleader to help you when try outs come. Dont be scared, thats the worst thing to do. Remeber to do facials, but dont try to stand out by doing a ton of flips, bc then to the coaches it will seem that you are showing off. Wait untill the actual try outs to do your flips, not the week of learning things!! =D
