well if you have awhile until the tryouts you should try some stretching exercises nightly until you are able to do a split. you have to be flexible to be on drill team, and a few splits for a few seconds is not the worst it's going to be. you are going to have to train your body to be flexible, and streching nightly is a good way to do that.

everyone gets stage fright when they try out for something. just smile and act like you are having fun wiht what you are doing. that is the best you can do, and the judges will like you a lot better.

Stretch, stretch, stretch!!!
If you go into tryouts with confidence you will have a better chance of getting on the team.

Wow!!! My drill team requires only the right split. And the tryouts were only two days. Also, the kicks and jumps were not required. We just had to memorize a short routine. Always smile!!!!!! It's fun lol. Me and my bff tried out and we made it, especially with my best galpal its awesome. We even got lost with our other friend at a parade lol!!!

Also, be prepared to be disciplined---a lot. They will make you do alot of crunches, sit ups, and whatever. Because remember there is no I in team! Have fun, eat right, sleep, and smile always!!!
