I have been doing cheerleading for about eleven years and I only learned to tumble about three years ago! its ok if you cant tumble becasue thats something you can always learn. My biggest suggestion is to start doing push ups becasue the stronger your arms are the more you can hold your own weight and once i got my arms strong....I dould do it! good luck!

There are spots on a cheer squad that should allow for a person that isn't able to perform ALL of the moves. Talk to the coach and captain before hand and ask them if there is a chance if you are unable to do the handsprings- they may give you tips and let you know if you would be able to make it or not. Stretching daily will also help you be a bit more flexible also.

K2: Have you considered taking up Gymnastics for durability ? Give it a try if you really want a certain spot on the squad. Be careful though, to not push things too hard and too fast ... your body isn't worth wrecking over a position on the team. Hope you crack the line-up ... Good luck to you "K" !!!
