I’m in high school and i’ve NEVER cheered before. I’ve always wanted too. I couldnt try out this year due to scheduling problems, but i want to try out next year. We have a freshman squad, and jv, and varsity. I don’t want to cheer on the freshman squad next year, i want to be with people my own age. So what can i do to make sure i’m good enough for jv? I’m tall and thin and one of my friends told me i would be a good base. I am a freshman this year and i can do a cartwheel and that is about it. I am also hoping that cheerleading can bring me out of my shell little.

you should take a gymnastics class over the summer and get more tumbling under you belt. most squads require that you can at least do a back hand spring. i would also start running. if you are going to be a base you need to start doing some arm excercises and push ups. also start stretching everyday. you need to be very flexiable in order to have good jumps. highschool squard normally look for girls that are loud, good ****** expressions, tight motions (if you know any one on the squad ask them to teach you some basic motions or easy cheers), tumbling skills and good jumps. you will also need to be able to learn a dance to try out. cheerleading is a lot more involved than most people think. but you should definitly use your summer to prepare

practice some cheers in front of the mirror and work on your ****** expressions and smiling. Also work on your splits and jumps. The louder u are the better but u dont want to sound like your yelling. Finally just have confindence when u are at try outs if u dont smile and just look at the floor they are not going to want u on the squad. walk into try-outs like u are the best cheerleader there and dont let them know u are insecure even if u are
