Answer 2

you ABSOLUTELY have a chance of making the squad!!!...just because your jumps aren't as high as the other girls and you don't have many tumbling skills as the other girls doesn't mean that you won't make the team..I made the Varsity team my freshman year of high school and am still on the team and I can't do backhand springs and my jumps aren't amazing..but when you make the team...your coach helps you with that kind of stuff...that's what she/he is there to do..help you become a better cheerleader....GOOD LUCK!!!...Let me know if you make the squad!!..hope I helped!!! =]

Well are we talking about high school, a university, or what? Also if this is a high school are we talking about is it one in a big city or one that is known for it's athletic teams? It does make a difference. If this is for a university, especially a well known one, then I would say your chances are probably low based on the fact that you can't tumble and your jumps aren't high. Universities tend to look for the cream of the crop, the best of the best. The only advice I can give you since you really don't have much time to learn tumbling in one day, and you can't magically improve on jumps overnight is to be as up-beat, energetic and pleasant as possible. If you don't make it this year you can always try out next year and until then practice, practice, practice. Possibly even take a few gymnastics and ballet classes, they do help.

Since you are lacking in some areas, just make sure you really sell your dance, stunting, and cheers. Have a cheerful spirit and always have a smile. When trying out, make eye contact with your judges, and remember to have fun
