A question for all expirenced cheerleaders! 10pts?

Question

I did gymnastics for 2 years and dance for 4 years.

I decided to tryout for my schools cheerleading squad.(Middle School)

What do I need to do to prepare for tryouts?

Gymnastics wise I can't do a back handspring or above in level stunts.

I also can't do (i have tried for months) a hurkie or toe touch.

Anyone have any tips for me to get them?

Tryouts are ina few weeks.

Im afraid I might not make it!.

I have talked to previous members and they say to fucus mre on individual stunts and not so much on gymnastics
