How can I make the Cheerleading Squad?

How to make the 7th grade cheerleading squad?

• I'm am skinny and fit but how can I make the 7th grade cheerleading squad. In Mountain Brook, Alabama, 7th grade is the starting for middle school, not 6th. So what's the best way to make the squad? On February 28th through March 1st is clinic. (Clinic is where you learn the cheer you perform in front of the judges.) Then on March 2nd are the try-outs. So, should I act all cheery and put my hair up in a ribbon and stuff? Helpp!

• Answer:

  If its a competitive squad, then you'll need to build up your endurance. A lot. Run every day, and after that stretch stretch and stretch. Learn the techniques for good jumps, and perfect your motions and sharpen them. If you have a friend that cheers, ask them for some help, it really works :). Make sure you go into the clinic and tryouts with a positive attitude, and try your hardest! Go to tumbling classes too, a back handspring will really help. If you think you will be a flyer, make sure your very flexible, and if you think you will be a base, make sure you build up your arm muscles as well as leg muscles. Good luck! ;)
