Cheerleading question?

Question

What are the basic things every cheerleader should know/be able to do, to try out for their high school team? Thorough answers would be appreciated...

Answer 1

it dpends on what your high school team requires

some teams required that you have a tumbling background, some don't, my high school team didn't.

You deffenitly need to be stretchable.

You don't really need to know anything, they'll teach it to you at the tryouts.

practice jumps [straddles, pikes, herkys..]

and start running.

Alot of freshman going into high school have never cheerlead before, so they should teach you everything you need to know :]

Answer 2

This site will give you information on exercises and stretches, cheers, motions, jumps, dancing, stunting, and tumbling: http://aescougarcheer.com/Cheer101/basic...  If you need to know tumbling for that team you should sign up for a class right away, because tumbling and jumps can take a long time to learn.
