Question by I love Paris: Trying out for cheerleading squad tips?
I am in 7th grade right now and when I get to high school I want to try out for the cheerleading squad. Does anyone have tips on cheerleading like who decided who is on the cheer squad, what are the requirements for a cheerleader, and stuff like that. Thanks.

There are a lot of things you may want to prepare for.
First, make sure you wear spirit colors to tryouts. If your school colors are red && black (like mine) then you should wear red && black. They need to know that you’re spirited.
Second, make sure you’re LOUD && you stand out. Don’t stand in the back, get in the front && be spirited. When you’re doing a cheer be as loud as you can, no matter how shy you are.
Third, you may want to start stretching out && practicing your jumps && maybe even tumbling. Most high school cheer squads don’t require that you be able to tumble, but it’s always a great thing to have. They most likely will test you on jumps, probably your toe-touch, pike, && herkie. So be ready for that.
Last, maybe you should become friends with the captain. That’s always a plus ;D
They’ll probably have you memorize && do a cheer or two, && maybe a short dance to go along with it. Then probably test your jumps. That’s what most squads do. They might even interview you (we do! :D)
If you have no cheer experience, you may want to befriend somebody who does to help you out.
Be peppy, spirited, && stand out!
Do NOT be shy.
&& always try your best (:
