For anyone who has TRYED OUT for cheerleading...!?

Question

well when i get in high school im thinking about trying out for cheerleading. but i have NO experience lol. also i have bad memory. and i think thats gonna ruin it. lol

if anyone has been to tryouts or tryed out what is it like?

do they show you a routine then you gotta do it over?

what happens there?

and pointers and tips would help too!! (: thnxx

Answer 1

They show you the routine a couple times then you have to  practice them in the time you get either it's a fews days or not. ,Sometimes they'll call you or you go up individually to do jumps. When I tried out we had 4 days. First we learned the dance then we learned a 4 sideline. The 3rd day was the last chance day and we asked for help and tried improving.  You might want to improve your memory somehow because if you don't you're screwed

Answer 2

I've been cheering for six years. tryouts for ne sport are always nerve racking, cheerleading is NOT ne worse or better. they actually teach you a routine. it consists of a cheer, a dance, and jumps. you go into a room with either one or two people and show the routine. you are judged, usually judges are very nice and if you mess up, give you a chance to try again.

I RECOMMEND TAKING GYMNASTICS BEFORE TRYOUTS!

cheering in highschool is pretty intense. you need to be able to tumble to be on a varsity squad. i reccomend taking gymnastics and possibly dance before tryouts. goooood luck!

p.s. to tryouts do not wear short shorts and low cut tank tops.  wear a tight fit tee, and soffe shorts in your school colors. dont wear too much makeup or jewelry. also wear your hair up and pin back bangs. presentation is a very big thing at tryouts.

Answer 3

I agree with the answers above. I would ask someone who is already a cheerleader at your school what happens at tryouts. Everything varies school to school.
