You should expect to be nervous and have any mistake you make be totally magnified. Bring your “A” game. Some competition for a change will bring out the best in you.
im trying out for high school cheer too. and we have to wear our school colors- like black and white and purple. …. and you should try to be very outgoing and talk to lots of girls. Keep your problems outside of tryouts. Be sure you know your jumps-angles-rallying-and tumbling.
Good luck! 🙂
Im in the pretty much same position as you. (ive tried out before though) And since this is your first time trying out, you might have to work a little harder. You should ask your school what to wear to the tryouts…but wear comfy clothes that are easy to stretch out in, like sophee shorts and a t shirt. Wear your hair up too. Again ask your school about the requirements for varsity, but im sure some tumbling is required and knowledge of how to do stunts. I don’t know about your school but my try outs are on monday and tuesday, and on monday, we learn the cheer, the dance, and the chant. On tuesday we try out. When we try out we walk in “spiriting” which is basically saying go (name of school) stuff like that. (DO NOT SAY WOO) they dont like it. then we do a jump like a toe touch), any tumbling you can do, and by yourself you do the cheer and chant. Be loud and smile!! Then usually with a small group you do the dance. If you mess up, dont stop just keep going and dont let it show on your face. IF you forget the motions, make some up, don’t stand there and try to remember. That’s pretty much it, try your best and good luck!
