Question by ali: How can I REALLY stand out at cheerleading tryouts?
Jumps and tumbling don’t count for anything, really. It’s basketball and we sit the whole time.
I’m just as good as the other girls or maybe even better. I haven’t done cheerleading at my school before so I’m afraid that they’ll just keep the same girls just because they know each other. I want this more than anything and I don’t want to be overlooked just because this is my first time going out for it. What special thing can I do to really stick out in the judges’ minds?

they pick judges that anyone around you would know just so it would be fair..so if your good then you will probably make it

I would have really tight motions and LOTS of facials! Good luck 🙂
Make facials when dancing. Stay stiff and PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!
Hi ,
As a coach I am always impressed when a girl comes up and asks me a question on technique etc. It shows commitment, willingness to learn and dedication if you ask a question and this is something a coachwould definitely remember ( I presume the coach is one of the judges?) Perhaps you can approach the coach if you know some of the things you will be asked to do for try outs such as motions and ask her an intelligent question on technique a few days before try outs. This will show that you are really interested and will put you in her mind before you even walk through the door at tryouts .
Apart from that, show that you are a team player on the day of try outs and be bubbly and friendly from the minute you turn up at the try out venue as you might not just be judged during the try out session. Your actions from the minute you arrive at the venue to the minute you leave the venue can impact on their decision so even when you think theyre not watching ,chances are they are !
I hope this helps and if you have any other questions on tryouts and cheer feel free to contact me! Enjoy and good luck!
