hey! first off.. good luck at tryouts =)
um when you practise be sure to breathe while jumping... im not sure why but my coaches have always told us to breathe when we jump and not to hold our breath.
Personally for height i find herkies and hurdlers and stars to help height and confisence in jumping (and to also brush up on technique)
but the main way to get height is to practise..
i did write a long thing to someone about height on jumps a few days ago so check out my advice colum!
oh one mroe thing... if your practising and cant get it.. dont get annoyed with yourself! cuz it will ware you out and you jumps will look horrible..
if it starts to bug you. take a deep breathe and try a different jump = with a smile of course =)
oh and are you sure you have ther ight technique? jus double check on that too =) it may help =D

When I was a cheerleader, our coaches told us to go home & practice jumping off things to do them, like steps or a big rock or something, or if you have a trampoline that's a great way to practice.
