I've done the same thing twice. Start running regularly again, that helps get your endurance back up which is the biggest problem I've had when I start tumbling after a while. Also I like to start stretching really hard before and after I run because I always feel like I'm less flexible...usually I'm not haha it just makes me feel better about it.

Then honestly I would just join a tumbling class at your local gym or gymnastics center....it's really the only way to get back into it you know? Like I can't just be like use this machine and do this workout because it's not like there's such thing as a tuck-half machine, haha. Around me they're about $30-45 for a month and if you're like unsure about something you haven't done in a while they always have coaches there to spot you if you need it.

Hope this helps and good luck.....

But also I just want to say you might not have much luck cheering this fall. Most colleges have their tryouts in spring, so you've probably already missed the opportunity. Contact the coach as soon as possible to find out. Even if you missed this season I would definitely get back into it. It's a great sport and if you start now you'll be really strong and more confident for tryouts in the spring.
