Do you need to be good at gymnastics to be made onto the cheerleading squad?

Question

I have been doing gymnastics for at least 3 years and i'm pretty good. I am on level 4 about to go to level 5. I know the basic tricks like carwheels, foward rolls, backward rolls, dive rolls, front&back walkovers, ect. But I'm not sure if you need to be good at gymnastics to make the cheer squad.

Answer 1

okayy, well, it depends on the squad, and the level.

if you're doing an all star team, yes, you'll have to be good to make it on a higher level.

if its for your school, it depends on what the school requires. go to try outs and find out.!

Answer 2

it all depends on what squad your on the one at my school if its ur first year of chearleading you dont have to do back flips and all that kind of stuff but if its your second year of chearleading you have to be able to do all those kind of flips

Answer 3

i agree with the others, it all depends on your squad and what they want you to do. you sound pretty good but you might need just a little bit more practice. you should be ok though. and remeber its not all about gymnastics though if you want to be on the squad then you have to have good memory to learn all the cheers and be a pretty good dancer to learn all the moves because they're not always gymnastics. i hope i could help = ]

Answer 4

No . You would need AT LEAST have to have a back handspring at my school . They wouldn't even consider you if you  didn't !

Get better at your tumbling .

Oh , and it's just not about tumbling and all that . You have to have the right look and be slim too !

The uniforms don't look good on just ANYONE (:
