Well I danced all my life and when I tried out for my middle school squad I made it but only because I could dance. I learned that you have to keep your motions tight, smile, and always be confident. Even if you don't know how to tumble, that's okay, but make sure the judges see something special in you that will make them put you on the squad. Just make sure you Practice, Practice, Practice.

Cheerleading is not all about dancing. Especially in high school. You need to attend some tumbling and stunting classes before you try out. Make sure you can do a back handspring. A toe touch. AND the simple stunts like half's and cradles. Keep practicing and GOOD LUCK!!

some things that will deff help are to make sure you are streched before all your practices, and make sure you are in very good physical shape before you try out because you don't want the caoches to see you out of breath or tired. Also, work on all jumps, dancing, cheers, tumbling, and stunts.

At the try-outs make sure you are smiling, well rested, and ready to go. when asked to perform anything ( stunts , jumps ect ) stay tight or you will look messy ! Keep smiling ( and use facials ) even if you feel the pressure, and ask questions so they know you are paying attention and that you are interested.. also when doing or learning a dance make sure you are in the front to show off your skills !

good luck *\o/*
