… with McCool on the unfortunate receiving end of the astonishing display of athleticism. Perhaps it shouldn’t be too surprising; the star did participate in gymnastics until she was 13, and was then captain of her high school cheerleading squad.

Q&A: Can I try out for cheerleading without being able to do flips?

Question by b_cheer_full: Can I try out for cheerleading without being able to do flips?
I love cheerleading and I consider myself a pretty good one. I was on the top squad in middle school and when high school tryouts for cheer come up soon i want to be able to make a squad! But my classmates who are on our school’s squad right now said that you need to be able to do a back hand spring and a back flip and other stuff and all i can do is a somersault, cartwheel, and round off! Is it possible for me to make the squad?!

weeelllll . . .

that depends on your schools rules for there individual cheerleading team 🙂

At the high school I will be cheering at you need to have really good jumps be very stable at your position (top/base/back) and be really flexible. Tumbling is good to but it is not necessary if you can stand out in another way. If you can do a cartwheel or a front walkover then show them. 🙂

all i can do is a forward roll, cartwheel, roundoff, backbend, and front handspring but even that is good but I guess that also depends on your high schools team:)

My cheerleading coach used to cheer at the high school I’m going to so thats how I know what I need to be ready for 🙂

you should go see what is required so you can start a.s.a.p. working really hard on the requirements

also make sure you sre stretching every day and by try-outs you should have gained alot more flexibility (make sure you are not just stretching your splits you back is really important as well!!!!)

If you want to or you can go in tumbling at a gym near you so that you may learna few things before try-outs or if tryouts are really soon you can still tryout but then keep learning at tumbling and then you will forsure by the end of this cheer year you will have you bhs and whatever else you want if you work really hard.

Do you learn how to do flips in Cheerleading?

Question by ƒíяə & ι¢ə: Do you learn how to do flips in Cheerleading?
I am starting to think about doing stunt cheerleading. Not like, “Go team go!” But like pyramids and flips and stuff. Do they teach you how to do that once your on the squad or do you have to already know it?

Learn the jumps. The basic cheer jumps are right and left hurkey, toe touch, front hurkey, and pike. There are videos and how to’s all over youtube. Also, learn to be crisp with your movements, thats a huge part of cheerleading. To prepare to jump also, start stretching. Warm up your muscles first then stretch your splits (right, left, middle). Flexibility is also a huge part of cheer. Good luck!

Answer by I ♥ ♂’s
You probably still have a pretty good chance because there was a girl on the Varsity team that wasn’t that flexible, but she just had SO much energy and could cheer really loud haha. So, as long as you can smile and cheer really good, you will still have a chance. Also, in middle school, there isn’t a lot of flips going on during the routines. IDK why…
