cheerleading tryouts
Our daughter is getting to try out for high school cheerleader. she goes to an extremely small school 13 girls our trying out for 10 slots
she has the smile, the motions, and jumps
her problem is she cannot run and connect her tumbling. she can start from a cart wheel and connect to a back hand spring. and go into a roundoff back handspring two.
.
is that a big problem if she is not going from a running start but going from a stand still cartwheel and r/off backhandsping roundoff two

Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: School?
it kinda depends on the coach. if the coach hates the way she does it then she wont be on the team. If she does like the way she does it she be on the team

I went through the same thing with tryouts last year, hopefully I can help.
Mostly what the coaches are looking for is a positive attitude, good grades and good team spirit. Having jumps motions and tumbling (no matter what it is) is awesome!!!
As for tumbling, it usually doesn't have a big say in whether you make the squad, even though it's a great skill and is worth sticking to!! Over 70 girls tried out for 12 slots at my school, and half of the the girls that made it can't do a back handspring, and 3 have never even tried to tumble.
Sorry, that didn't really answer your question... But no, it doesn't matter whether she runs before or not. Running only gives you momentum, but since she doesn't have a running start, it shows that she has a lot of control and strength!!!
Tell her good luck from a fellow high school cheerleader!
