Answer by cheerleader26
ABSOLUTELY NOT! 😀 tumbling is not the only thing people look for in a cheerleader. a cheerleader should have a positive attitude, school spirit, good jumps, strict motions, and a tiny percent of that is tumbling. i know a lot of girls who are amazing at cheerleading but cant tumble. just keep working on your jumps and other things.

  1. &Soon 2 B Varsity cheerleader!

    def. not
    im n high school u have to have good grades they prefer u have tumbling skills but u don’t have to if u do u get extra pts.from the judges smile alot … we had 3 days to learn the chant, cheer, dance (which they tought us), but ur school might have u come up with them 4th day was the tryout we were put in groups in four , we also practiced stunting but we ended up not doing it at tryouts tried out for freshmen squad but didn’t make it im a soph. now i plan to try out for varsity in april.. im going to be working hard by the way & sometime during my jr. yr get tumbling lessons to get those skills dwn
    did u go to the info. mtg. yet?

    jumps: toe touch, front hurdler, herkie, tuck, pike (they want them high)
    make sure u have precision,nice tight motions not sloppy or broken wrists

    req.: ask any present cheerleaders or the coach if u need tumbling if u do end up needing it take a class cuz u can’t perfect them by urself u can get hurt

    work out plans : stretch, lift 5 lb. weights? cuz u need strength for ur motions, jumps, and when stunting, running/walking
    stretches:sit with legs in a V position, as far apart as you can and lean and stretch at the same time on both sides (lean over left leg, then lean over right leg) also, try reaching your hands out in front of you as far as you can while doing these exercises., butterfly as well.If you do this on a regular basis, you will continue to become more flexible.

    meal plan: fruits, veg, sweets every now and then try to stay fit
