Question by ~Blonde~: What are some encouraging things I can say to girls trying out for cheerleading?
Im a Sophmore in high school and a cheerleader. Try outs are next week. My coach is having a couple of us go and talk to some of the eight graders that will be in high school next year who are considering trying out. They want us to say good things. Anyone has any good advice? What should I say?
Thanks in advance!

Answer by hockeygirlie<3
Let them know that they will be judged by what they bring to the floor, and not what they look like. I am in 8th grade and trying out for cheerleading next year. I am an all-star cheerleader, and I have never done school cheerleading before. I’m really nervous because I don’t know what it is going to be like. During one of the tryout clinics, the coaches and older cheerleaders told us that we will not be judged by our appearance, but our ability to help the team succeed. Them telling me this has actually helped me relax.
What do you think? Answer below!
1. TRY HARDER!
2. GIVE ME TWENTY!!
3. MY GRANDMA COULD JUMP THAT HIGH!!
4. OH SORRY, I DIDN’T REALIZE YOU WERE ACTUALLY TRYING
5. YOU CALL THAT CHEERLEADING?!
6. IF YOU WERE IN THE SQUAD, I WOULD QUIT!!
7. there there, it’s ok, i remember when i wasn’t that good either, WHEN I WAS THREE!! HAHA!
8. TRY AGAIN WHEN HECK FREEZES OVER
9. it’s too bad you didn’t make it…oh, well, just try again…NEXT MILLENIUM…AND THIS TIME PRACTICE FIRST!!!
hello.. i been a cheerleader for several years but i still remember the first time i tried out… i was so nervous but i felt so much better when the judges told me that they look at what they can bring to the team not what they look like. And also just compliment them on little things. Like Nice job! Keep it up. Thanks for coming or just what ever to bust their confidence. And i think it would be nice if you look at them in the eyes while you compliment them so they could see you really mean it. lol
oh give them some little heads up. Like tell them if they mess up its okay to just smile and continue. Little things like that so they wont feel dumb if they do.
Tell them to make sure they practice, but to be confidant and believe in themselves. That always helps.
just think what good things u would want 2 hear if u were them & i their place.
lmao at kyle’s answer.
