Answer 3

it depends what type for cheerleading you're trying out for. I do both allstar and highschool and it's a little different. allstar ranges in levels, which ultimately determines what your skills should be. but overall, you need to be flexible, not just as a flyer, but so that your jumps are high and look great. tumbling is a plus, but most teams will teach those who don't have anything. tumbling is round-offs, backhandsprings. stuff like that. stunting comes with practice, but any experience in basing, backing, fronting, or flying always helps. lastly, you need spirit in both types. but in allstar, spirit is facials and working the judges. in highschool or other rec teams, spirit is your ability to involve the crowd and get everyone cheering. so work on your stretching, make sure you're outgoing, and always remember to smile. cheerleaders are never supposed to have an angry bone in their body, so never let anyone see you as anything other than happy. hope that helped :)
