You need to work on several things. 1st, start running or taking up some other aerobic activity. Cheerleaders need to have endurance. 2nd, stretch - stretch - stretch! Stretch while watching tv, while doing homework, while reading... You need to have flexibility. 3rd, practice coordinating dance moves with friends... You need to have the ability to memorize and coordinate moves with a team. 4th, practice talking loudly... You will be cheering and need to maintain your voice. 5th, lift some weights, do some pushups, do some situps... You need to be strong. You may be doing pyramids or other activities where you may be lifting other members of your squad. 6th, practice some gymnastics moves... Cartwheels, hurkeys, and flips are commonplace in many routines.

Good luck!

you have to make boys like you like wear good dresses and excersize

that's exactly what i want to know

a lot of hardwork and dedication and usually a background in gymnastics or some type of dance

be flexible perky and you must be able to ryhme fight and talk about ppl on the spot

okay, so im a cheerleader. Tryouts are hard, but if you are peppy and have a loud voice, then the judges will probably love you. Dont be timid with your voice- put a big (not fake) smile on. Practice your tumbling (at MINIMUM have a solid roundoff) and your motions and jumps. try your hardest to get your jumps above your arms. Stretch every day: in the morning and after your shower (stretching while your muscles are warm helps tremendously) and lastly, practice your motions. BE SHARP on your motions. start tumbling lessons where you can work on your tumbling AND your jumps. Good luck!!!

u have to be really PERKY!! lol and u have to be ready for people to call u a snob. u gotta be cordinated.
