Position:Home>Dancing> Poms try outs?? help please!!!?

First, STRETCH every day!. If you start now, you'll have just that much advantage over the other girls that try out!. Plus, if you have your splits, the coaches and judges will notice you even more! Flexibility really comes in handy when you're trying out for a sport like cheer!.

Second, be LOUD (if this is a sport where you'll have to yell)!. Not like, talking loud to the other girls, but when you are cheering, be louder than anyone else!. When I tried out for my team in high school, we tried out in groups of three, and I made sure that I could be heard over both of the other girls!. It worked :) (P!.S!. don't feel dumb! Cheerleaders are supposed to be loud and if you're louder than everyone else, I can guarantee the coaches will love you!. :)

Third, be NICE to everyone, including the coaches!. Be careful NOT to suck up, though!. Just be outgoing and friendly, because that's what cheerleaders do! also smile a lot, especially when cheering and trying out!. To be a cheerleader, you must be happy and perky, even when you're not!.

Fourth, practice your TECHINQUE!. Cheerleaders are extremely TIGHT with all their motions!. I used to practice flexing my muscles and abs whenever I'd hit a move, because if you're sloppy, it will not look good at all!. This applies especially to pom, since pom and cheer are all about tightness and looking sharp!. also, work on your jumps at home (if you are going to be doing jumps)!. This is where flexibility also comes into play!. The "toe-touch" is the most common, so if that particular jump is the one you should be working on the most!. also, try to work on some tumbling if you need to!. I'm not saying go flip yourself around your backyard - just do some easy stuff!. For example, wrk on your cartwheels, round-offs, and handstands!. Work on bridges for back flexibility, too!. If you have even a little bit of tumbling, they will notice!.

Anyway, those are just the main things you should be working on up until and through try outs!. Sorry it's so long! But I hope it helps :)

Good luck and remember to have fun!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Wanting something and being realistic about achieving the goal are not a magic twosome here!. If this was your goal, a serious goal, you'd have started training months ago!. I think this is just a this-minute-wild-idea!.
As you describe yourself, it's obvious that you are not the body-type who's going to make the team, so why put yourself out there where the other girls are going to snicker!?

I'm not saying you can never be a contender, just not this year!. Have common sense and practice cheers at home, and if you're really serious, by next year, you'll be flexible enough and thin enough to go public!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
