How long will it take for me to get good at tumbling?

Cheerleaders! How long would it take me to get this tumbling skill?

• Hey, i've always been a competitive figure skater till i was sixteen, 2 years ago i had to quit figure skating because of an injury. Last year i joined an all-star cheerleading squad nearby. I stunt and jump like an experienced level 5 cheerleader, but the problem is that i've never learned any tumbling, i can't even do a descent roundoff! :( (because i've been skating all those years) My coach told me i should get my standing tuck (we have a major competition coming up in may). And if i manage to master it, i'll get to be the point cheerleader in front of the jump sequence, Now i was wondering how long it would take me to get my standing tuck? How long in combination with a toe-touch? and how much should i practice? Thanks in advance! :)

• Answer:

  its different for every girl. some girls it takes 3 months as oppose to another girl getting it in a year! i would say practice any time you can!! practice practice practice! this is a pretty obvious statement, but the more you practice the faster you will get it(: how it sounds is that your a good jumper. so thatll help alot you need strong abs too!!!(:
