Cheerleading HELP?

Question

OK! I'm am SOOO nervous, because my school's cheerleading tryouts are in a MONTH away, so PLEASE help me! First, please give me tips for the tryouts. I can only do a cartwheel and a roundoff. I've tried doing a back bend, but I can't seem to kick over! So tips on back bend and back hand spring. Also, I can do jumps on the tramplone perfectly, but when I try on the ground I can't cause I can't get high enough! That's probably the thing I'm most concerned about. AND I can almost do the splits all the way down, but how can I go ALL the way. I can do a heel in the pool, but I can't do it on the ground! OMG sry for all of this, but I just wanta make it SOOOO badly!!! THANKS!

Ok i have been a cheerleader for 5 years not so I MIGHT be able to help.
GENERAL: 1) Remember to ALWAYS smile while performing something but practice your smile in the mirror so it doesnt look fake 2) I know you're nervous but try to hide it. If you let it show you might not do as well of a performance 3) be prepared to learn cheers and routines 4) while doing a cheer make sure you yell from your diaphram not you throat that way it will be loud but it wont sound like a scream and it wont kill your throat =]] 5) Just have fun and dont try to be OVER IMPRESSIVE who ever is judging wil lthink that you just want to be on the team to show off
BACKBEND/WALKOVER: Make sure your band bend has a smooth form maybe have a parent or friend look at it. Your back should be arched and relaxed but not too relaxed and you should be able to get dowm without struggle. Strech before you do your back bend thought. Maybe do a few bridges before you do your back bend. To walkover bring your haves and feet as close togther as you can then tuck your head and stomach (so you dont break your neck!) and lift up ypur right leg then push off and walk over.
JUMPS: Do a prep. First bend your knees a little bit then come up on your toes then do the jump but do it all smoothly without pauses.
SPLITS: For your two front split I would recoment doing lunges then going down into your splits then sit there (as far down as you can) for one minute then lunge again then splits again for 30 seconds then switch to your other side and do the same with the other leg. Thats what we do at practice. For your middle splits sit in a straddle and do a whole but of stretches in a straddle and you will get there eventually.

I hope some of this helps you! Good luck at tryout!

Hate to mention but when your dad may not aid you, I wish that your mother will. I am a core college cheerleading instruct and cheerleading isn't affordable. Of path core schoolers should not have jobs to pay for camp, uniforms, and so forth. and although you might get a role, you should not have time to paintings and cross to after college practices, conferences, and video games.... and recollect assignments. You will want any one to aid you pay the expenditures. Is your cheerleading squad conventional or recreation? A conventional squad is the squad that does the pep rally, cheers at video games from the sidelines, and might do a part time efficiency. A recreation squad is a squad that travels across the country competing. Most of the game squads are co-ed, particularly proficient, enormously complicated stunts, killer flips, you get the factor. Its just like the Bring it On Squads. If your college has a conventional squad, all you have got to do is have a few sort of rhythm and get a former cheerleader or one who has already made the squad to educate you. You might cross to a UCA camp. They will educate you the fundamentals of cheerleading. I believe this would be the fine choice. If your squad is a recreation squad, your possibilities of constructing the squad are very narrow until you've got had years of gymnastics. Whatever occurs, I want you the fine of good fortune. Keep making an attempt and paintings tough. Remember Cheerleading is tough paintings, if it was once any less complicated, it could be known as Football!
