Hey there, It is definitely possible to make it, but you need to work extremely hard before trying out and you need to be dedicated. I am a cheerleader, a flyer. It would help to know what position you would be on. But my advice is to get signed up at a cheer or gymnastics gym and get tumbling down. Work on your jumps, such as toe touch, double toe touch, right front, left front, right hurdler, left hurdler, and a pike. Cartwheels, roundoffs, inside cartwheels, and backhands. And flexibility is a huge thing. Really work on that. These are the basics. Check my squad out on Youtube. We are 5 year state champions. Almost College Level I believe. Springfield Varsity Cheer. This should give you an idea on what to work at. Good Luck 🙂
