Answer 1

As a current cheer coach, I can tell you what we expect from our girls.

First and foremost we stress academics. Being a good cheerleader requires a great deal of practice, and this can sometimes hurt your grade point average. We always stress that you can't go on in life to make a living at cheerleading....you have to have an education to do that.

As for the actual requirements:

Knowledge of routines, cheers and chants: Know them backwards and forwards....well enough to begin them anywhere in the middle of the cheer.

Tumbling/Gymnastics to include cartwheel, roundoff, and back hand spring at the minimum. Girls who can do a tuck usually get extra points.

Flexibility and Posture: Be able to do splits and heal stretch. In a Liberty or heal stretch position, hold your balance for 20 seconds.

Judges always look for personality and smiles. Be sure to let yours shine through on try out day!

GOOD LUCK

Answer 2

You will always need to know how to do a cartwheel and roundoff. A lot of times you will be required to know how to do a backhandspring, or even a back tuck. This takes lots of work, start practicing a year in advance if possible

Answer 3

if u are going to a school where u have majority white, you'll need to learn how to tumble, as in backhand springs, but if u want to be on varsity u need to know how to do a round off backhand spring tuck. also make sure your jumps are up to part, if not learning to do a split helps a lot. ps I would try to learn these things even if it is majority black because some school require it too.
