A good cheerleader needs to be smiling even when your team is losing 45-7 to your biggest rival. No matter how hard a stunt or a cheer is, you've gotta keep the grin intact. During try-outs this is really important cuz the coach will notice. Try practicing cheers and routines in a full length mirror so you can keep an eye on your facial expressions. There is nothing worse than seeing a cheerleader doing a basket-toss with a look on her face like she has to go to the bathroom.
Cheerleading Tips - Belt It Out
You gotta have pipes on ya if you're gonna be a great cheerleader. We're talking a clear, loud voice. If you make windows rattle when you're yelling at your brother, you've got what we're talking about. You've also gotta be able to maintain that loud voice while performing routines. Kinda like Usher
Perfecting Cheerleading Cheers
belting it out while still bustin' a move. It's not as easy as you think. Practice the moves and the words together - a lot - because sometimes your voice might slip if you're concentrating on the moves of a cheer. Also, lie on your stomach and belt out the cheers while concentrating on your gut. This will help you learn to yell from your stomach, rather than your throat. Your vocal chords will thank you later.
Cheerleading Tips - Get Snappy
A good cheerleader's moves are always tight and rigid. When you clap, your arms should be in front of your face (about lip or nose height) and should not go past your shoulders on the release. Have a buddy put his or her hands on your shoulders and learn to clap in the space in between. Eventually, you'll have that snappy, tight cheerleader clap.
Cheerleading Tips - Learn the Lingo
Ever listen to cheerleaders on the sidelines or in the lunch line? It's like they've got their own vocabularly. That's because, like any sport, there are terms for their moves. If you learn them before you try-out, you're likely to impress the coach - and it'll make things smoother for ya. For example did you know there is more than one way to hold your hands during cheers? There are fists, buckets, daggers, etc. Do you know how many people it takes to do a basket toss or what a cupie is? .

what to wear to practice... soffee's or gym shorts, t-shirt, tennis shoes if you dont have cheerleading shoes yet or nobody to borrow from, socks, remember a hair tie, always make sure you are wearing no jewelry.
tips- 1)always smile even if you mess up.. people won't notice if you keep smiling. :) 2)always be on your best behavior in public.. especially if your wearing uniform or representing your team. 3)even if cheers are tough keep trying because you will get it. 4) always be tight when your doing cheers. 5)don't goof off at practice pay attention. 6) stay out of drama!!!! trust me its a really good idea. 7) always have you hair out of your face.. it makes things a lot of easier. 8) if you are stunting do not talk.. you need to pay attention to whats going on.
if you want to know anything else. you can e-mail me! i hope this helps you! have a good year and good luck

Practice is really important. Take things seriously too. And while doing your motions, really hit them. And if you ever mess up, don't show it, facial expressions...The coaches will know, adn it doesn't look good.

just keep working on it all the time!
Don't let what other people say bother you!
Work hard at it, because it's harder than people think and if you want to be good, you need to spend a lot of time and energy on it.
