  1. make up a routine.. nothing too big that you won't remember. have sharp crisp postions. use things from movies that you remember. smile big. never show that you make a mistake because they will never know if you do. good luck!


  2. the judges want everything to look neat and clean.  use controled jumps and landings, and you havge got to have tight arms.  after practicing your motions your should be sore.  if your not there yet your not going to imporove enough in any hour

  3. they look for an AWESOME smile, even if it's cheesey.

    crisp precise movements!

    make eye contact with them at all times.

    good luck girl!

    get a last minute practice in!

    and don't worry!

  4. Preparation:

    Practice, practice, practice! Once you are taught the tryout materials, review them over and over again. The more comfortable you are with the routines, the more relaxed you will be in the tryout itself. A great idea is practice the routine in front of friends and family to get used to doing it in front of people. This will help tremendously in making a cheerleading squad.

    Appearance:

    Dress conservatively. The judges are looking for neatness. Wear something very comfortable and appropriate for cheering. Keep your hair combed and neat, and wear as little makeup as necessary. If your school allows it, wear your school colors!

    Routine:

    The judges are looking for sharp, well-placed motions, loud voices, enthusiasm, and routine knowledge. The sharper the motions, the better score you will receive. Make sure your motions are properly placed, not too far in front or in back of you, and not too loose. The judges want to hear loud, sharp voices, but do not scream!

    Showmanship:

    This part of the tryout is most important! It is even more important than the actual routines you perform. The judges want to see confidence, smiles, and crowd appeal. Come into the tryout with the assurance that you deserve to be on the squad. You should give each judge eye contact

    throughout the entire tryout. Smile! From the beginning to the end, you should smile and look as though you are having a great time. Finally, the judges are looking for someone who will appeal to the crowd. A lot of enthusiasm and "peppiness" is great!

    Specialties:

    Most tryouts allow you to perform any specialties you can do, for instance, jumps, kicks, gymnastics. Any specialty you can perform well is an advantage, but remember, you do not want to show off something that is not great. So, if you are not super in a specialty, it is better to stick to the routine.

    Extra Tips:

    If you make a mistake in the tryouts do not get upset. On every judging sheet there is a section called recovery. In the situation that a person makes a mistake, they see how well he/she keeps going. Many

    people every year make mistakes in tryouts and still make the squad. The reason for this is that they recovered well, that is they kept going with smiles and enthusiasm as though nothing happened.

  5. They look for completion of the routine, accuracy in dancing, control of the body, and overall flow.

  6. Smile, let  them know  you love doing  this more then any thing.!!  Think routine  out in head  quietly before  time to go, visulize and  you will do fine.  SMILE   *mamatx

  7. simple have the song by pink money playing and shorten your kirt. wear no underware and do cartwheels.

  8. make the whole thing flow together and make sure to have very creative motions, go to utube and you can look up some motions and moves and cheers!! good luck!!!: )

  9. Make sure to smile it is the biggest thing.

  10. Why is this under "volleyball"?

  11. do a song that you really like and practice a lot! i know you'll get it! :)

  12. do the dance of...bring it on:in it to win it
