Answer 1

you need to work harder then everyone else on the team

sriously practice practice practice don't let anyone show you off and show your coaches that your making this extra effort.

K here we go

first off you always have to keep tight! stay focused and have confidence!!!

You can do it if u believe in yourself and keep yourself commited.

extensions:
-push hard off your bases sholders to help them get that extra push up, half the work on getting up there should be u it can't be all on them. once your up there keep your butt pinched and knees locked. hen u are cradled RIDE IT. breath inraise your arms over your sholders and ride it until your breath in is gone then snap!

Libs
- Always make sure your Leg is to you knee
-see things above about locking out
- make sure your arms arte in a perfect High V

Twisting
-high v throw it hard to left or right. Look to whatever sholder u throw your arms to. When u look it goes so fast.
-try balencing on a soup can on your own

Always be streching to try and get new tricks

LEARN how to base or they will never take u on a college team, when u try out u have to do both to get on, they love diversity, even if your super tiny it's a plus

Answer 2

1st u should be an 8th grader (usually people that aren't have a difficult time being an 8th grade varsity cheerleader).
2nd get on the team. People don't appreciate a lot the weirdos that go jumping in front of the team not being part of it.
3rd get that position it can be a lot of trouble in the team if u try to steal someones else position.
4th That was all I know on the subject good luck with the rest of it :).

Answer 3

talk to your coach.. he/she will probably admire you for speaking up and they can tell you what you did wrong..it may even be that it is your first year if the other flyers are experienced

Answer 4

I can tell you this: varsity is reserved for 11th and 12th graders (usually).
