I HAVE HIGH SCHOOL CHEERLEADING TRYOUTS SOON AND I WAS WONDERING WHAT KIND OF JUMPS AND SKILLS SHOULD I KNOW?

Question

This is my first time trying out to be a cheerleader and I already know how to do a cartwheerl and roundoff..... What should I know I really wanna make the team!!!!!

Answer 1

You need to ask the coach, as only (s)he knows what the specific requirements are.



In the meantime work hard on stretches, jumps, and motions like the ones shown on these pages: http://aescougarcheer.com/Cheer101/basics.htm



Good luck!

Answer 2

At my school, stunting is the main focus. You should know how to do a basic elevator, extension, lib, and a basket toss.

Jumps are also a very important deciding factor. A toe touch is the most common jump, a long with a double toe touch. A left/right hurkey, and a left/right hurdler are also two other good jumps to know. Tumble wise, isn't the most important thing unless that is a necessity for the team you are trying out for. Good luck!
