would it be better to do gymastics or cheer camp if i want to try out for cheerleading?

Question

i know all the jumps (i've been to camp before), but can not do a back flip...

Answer 1

I think it would be best to go to a tumbling camp since you know your jumps and things. Afterwards, try to take a tumbling class once a week or every two weeks. Also, ask your teammates for tips of how they learned it. That always helps me.

Answer 2

Cheer camp. A few days of tumbling will not change your ability level all that much. That is something you need to do far more often. So instead, sign up for a regular tumbling class if you can.

Also, some schools make attending cheer camp with the team mandatory, so look into that angle of it as well.

Answer 3

I would go with Cheer camp. Do you need a back tuck to make it? If not I would just focus on the cheer motions and dances.

Answer 4

Cheer camp.

Answer 5

Cheerleading, gymnastics, trampolining and tumbling all help each other. Cheer camp would be better as you will learn gymnastics aswell x

Answer 6

cheer camp. i go to cheer tumbling at a local gym and i see the gymnastics girls there all the time. they do the same basics like back handsprings and tumbling but you'd rather not wear a leotard ;]

Answer 7

I think gymnastics would help out more. Cheerleading atleast at competition level is all about that now a days.

Answer 8

cheer camp because you will learn more cheers that you can share when you tryout. i am sure you will learn to do the back handsprings and back tucks there.

Answer 9

cheer camp. i think it would be more useful
