Answer 2

Find out from the coach what the minimum requirements are for making the team. No one else has the information but him/her.

As for working out do exercises like push-ups and crunches, stretch and jump a few times a day, and also practice your motions and do tumbling drills.  If you need higher level tumbling skills you will need to get into a class at a gymnastics center.
