Question

I want to join cheerleading next year in 7th grade.I am not fat im just average size.Do you have to be super skinnny to be a cheerleader??

Answer 1

No you do not have to be super skinny.

Cheerleading takes time and dedication. You have to be able to stunt, jump, yell(cheer), be spirited, and (depending on your school) tumble.Your motions need to be sharp, toes pointed during your jumps, you need to be loud, and you need to look like you're having fun.

Talk to girls (or guys) that you know that are cheerleaders at your school, to find out exactly what your school's requirements are. And even get together with that person or people so that they can help you out.

Stretch, stretch, stretch!! As well, as stretching practice your motions in front of a mirror and your jumps. Also make sure you smile and that your motions are sharp!

Answer 2

No but you do need to be at a average weight when being tossed up in the air. Be careful too. Many people have gotten injured with cheerleading.

Answer 3

Cheerleading is NOT a size sport! Depending on what you want to do in stunting depends on what size you need to be! The smaller more flexible girls will be flyers and the stronger girls will be bases! I have seen girls of all sixes excel in Cheerleading. it depends on your ability to perform the required skills (JUMPS,TUMBLING, STUNTS, CHEERS, DANCES) Work on all of these and your strength and flexibility. Conditioned to help you stay in shape to show your coach that you do not get tired easy. Good Luck!

Answer 4

If you are super skinny you won't make it. You need to be slender, yes, but strong. Just work on your dance and gymnastics. Those are the most important things. Good luck.

Answer 5

No, size doesn't matter. I have kids of all sizes on my team.
