HS gymnastics TRYOUTS!!!!?

Question

I'm trying out for my hs gymnastics team(im a freshman). Theirs junior varsity and varsity team. All I know is their is a gymnatsics room with equipment. I've been doing gymnastics for some time now. I'm in really good shape, (ran competitive track and x-country). I can do 30 push-ups in a row and 60 sit-ups.Also I'm, 4'10. I can do a round-off back handspring, front handspring, standing back tuck. I'm really nervous, don't know anyone on the team or the coach. But I really love gymnastics. Try-outs are this saturday.

What are any tips for try-outs? What should I wear, stuff like that, how i should act? What skills I should practice?How to calm my nerves?

Please any tips, even a sentence willl help.

Answer 2

gymnastics is a lot different from any other sports or tumbling... you are on the right path.. my adivce to you is to tie your hair back like the olympians... wear a matching bow.. put on a leo.. and a pair of dance shorts.. or gym shorts... and as far as making the team goes.. do what you know how to do the best that you can do it!  if they require beam and bars.. it might be a little harder for you to make b/c those two things do not come so easily!!! there is technique to everything.. so just go out there and try your hardest... if you dont make it this year.. i would enroll in a local gymnastics class and take 2 times a week ... maybe even sat. and learn as much as you cn before the next tryout year comes along!!!  goodluck
