What do you have to do to try out for cheerleading?

What Cheerleading jumps will I need to try out?

• I'm trying out for Cheerleading soon, but they don't tell you what you need to do until the 4 day clinic right before tryouts. What jumps will they probably have me do, and how can I get better at them? Also, I'm going into 7th grade.

  Hello! You are never too old to start cheerleading, considering there are teams for all ages and levels. If you want to advance in your skills and abilities you should know that it takes a lot of hard work, dedication, and most of all, PRACTICE! To be a cheerleader, it takes an individual that is willing to learn in all areas of the sport: dance, cheer, crowd appeal, tumbling, jumps, and stunting. To progress in all of these areas maybe try signing up for classes such as tumbling classes at your local gym. This will allow professionals to teach you the basics and the right techniques when learning how to tumble.
