Your doing pretty good :D You have to be able to do a:
~Split leap
~Back handspring
~Back Tuck
Those are the basics, so I would suggest joining a tumbling and/or dance class. Stretch every day and you will make the team!!:) Good Luck!

practice makes better

Great, I'm in 8th grade too, and I'm also joining cheerleading for freshman year! look, your perfectly ready, you already know the basics. so keep practicing and keep your eyes on the gold! good luck!
