Question

I'm going into the 8th grade and i want to do cheerleading. what should i do to get ready for the tryouts? what will the tryouts be like and what will i have to do?

Thanks! :)

Answer 1

Learn the motions(high V, low V, etc) and stretch at least twice a day.  Learn the jumps and join a tumbling class if possible.

When you try out be loud and SMILE!

Answer 2

Practice the cheers, firm up your moves. Straight arms, lots of energy, be loud and clear when cheering. Learn the routine quickly and accurately. And smile! The really do look at all that as well as leadership.

You may have to recite the cheers in front of judges (teachers/cheer coaches), remember a small routine, and learn to do cheer jumps and stunts.

Examples: russian, hurdlers, herkie, cartwheel, tuck, as well as others. Below is a site with information.

Good luck, I hope you make it!

Answer 3

you should stretch a lot so that you can do the jumps,

like the toe touch etc.

and try to learn a back handspring.  get in tumbling classes or something.

and for the tryouts make sure your makeup and hair looks really good.
