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…

it really depends on how advanced the team is. i’m in high school and i have to admit our cheerleading team sucks, anybody can be on the team and they mostly just do like tumbling, kicks, and jumps.
I think it depends on what school you go to. I’ve never seen the cheerleaders at my school do any acrobatics at all. But some other schools cheerleaders are really competitive and do a lot of extreme gymnastics stuff. If you want to know before you try out, maybe you could ask a coach.
The only person who can answer this accurately is the coach of the team. Go find that out and then figure out if you have the skills you need to make the team. If you do, start getting ready for this year’s tryouts. If you don’t start getting ready for _next year’s_ tryouts by getting into a tumbling class. Keep working on your motions and jumps no matter what.
Good luck, and I hope you can make it this year! :^)
