How do I learn to be a cheerleader?

Question

I love the whole idea and everything of it and I love to dance and do stunts. But I am 13 and I am planning on trying out for the high school cheerleading team next year but I have no experience whatsoever like I did gymnastics for two years. I started at like 2 or 4 but other than that I know I have no experience. I did go to two cheer camps but other than that nothing. I dont know if I am flexible or not but I can almost do the splits and sort of do the bridge. plz help

Start now by strenching hardcore.

The main thing is being flexable, you can also by practicing your jumps. The main one coachs look for is a toe touch. When you go into tryouts just put on a smile and try your best. I dont know how good the high school squad is so i really cant give you any other advise. Remember that the first time for anything is hard. Try your best and good luck.
