well here are the moves u need to know for cheer:
toe touch
hurdler(hurkey)side and front
high kick
star jump
tuck jump
splits
u could try looking in youtube for some videos that have to do with cheer
it might help
also gymnastics and tumbling and jazz would help too gymnastics is for your strength and tumbling is to learn flips
they are about the same
jazz is more fun and still have a little of the basic stuff and helps you with turns and jumps

u could do ballet for techniques but u dont really need to because cheer and ballet are really different

just in case u didnt know:
toe touch is when u do the middle splits in the air with hards in a horizontal line

hurdler is when one leg is bent and the other leg is straight in front or side while jumping
your arms are parellel in front

a high of course is kicking one leg up

a star jump is when your arms are up in a V shape
and your legs are in a middle split position but more like an upside down V so it makes a star kind of shape while jumping

a tuck jump is when u have both legs tucked in and bent while jumping

and the splits of course and one leg in front one in back and going to the ground


also u might want to know how to do some front flips and back flips and cartwheel

when u cheer u have to smile
and when landing the jumps always land in plea or with 2 bent legs

have strong arms and sharp movements
dont forget to have fun tho

also yoga and pilates would help

Start practicing again gradually, a little each day and eventually working yourself back up to a full routine. Talk to your school coach to see if she can help you get back into cheerleading shape and/or try back out for the squad. Practice with some of your friends who are cheerleaders on the squad to learn some of the routines that you've missed.

Good luck making it back onto the squad -- we'll be cheering for you! Hope this helps you!

Lots of stretching, lots of practice. Practice your motions in front of a mirror. Stretch every morning and night. Practice your jumps using no arms (cross them over your chest)- you will not beleive how hard jumps are this way... but, if you practice this way, you get used to that strong pull with your leg muscles, and your jumps will be amazing when you do use your arms. Try out for your local school squad, or gymnastic squad.

try stretching and practicing cheers at home. since you've done it before it shouldn't be too hard for you gain the feeling and flexibility compared to a inexperienced person.

ask your school cheerleaders since you used to be one it shouldn't be hard to get back in
