alright so i've been cheerleading since i was in second grade. i cheered for football for 2 or 3 years and then a competition squad the rest. im in 7th grade right now and am trying out for the JV squad at my school. im trying out soon like in a week or two but clinics are thursday monday and wednesday (this week and next week) and then the following monday are tryouts. i know i can do great and all. but i worry about things too much. i know its silly but i do. my 3 best friends are trying out with me ( they have all cheered before and are good too) i can do the dance and cheer well and motions great and im really good at acting happy and corny and having an "attitude" on the cheer floor but i do need work on my jumps and i can't do a back handspring or anything above that. i can do a cartwheel but thats about it. most of the girls cant do those things anyways, infact alot of the girls have never cheered before. not all but quite a few. i guess what i am asking here is does anyone that cheerleads NOW have any good advice for tryouts and not just the basics like smile or anything like that but something that will really help. and how to do better jumps like what kind of stretching and things like that. i really really want to make it!!! i love cheerleading so much.
