I guess they want you to be blond and a bubble head, with big balloons under your shirt and jump around.
Confidence, flexibility, energy, spirit!, ability to take direction, ability to cooperate with others/work as a team.
-Confidence
-Fluid, Strong Motions
-REAL Smile, not forced
-Social, Team skills
-Athletic
-Loud
Sexy
Cute
Popular to boot
Bitching
Great hair
The boys all love to stare
They want it
You’re hot
You’re everything their not.
Athletic ability
Bubbly personality
And confidence of course
Cheerleading coaches look for many things, but the few basics are:
-Confidence
-Sharp movements
-Ability to dance
-Loud voice (No screams or dragging words)
-Clear and precise words
Great facial expressions (big happy REAL smiles)
-A good toe touch, hurdler, hurkey, or pike (all jumps)
-Some coaches hate when you scream WOOOOO (so see if they say anything about that)
-Flexible
-Great posture
-Relaxed stance (You dont want to look uptight and nervous)
-Sometimes they may count cartweels, splits, or any gymnastics as extra points
Good luck!
they are definitely looking for spirit and if your light it would be good so they can do lifts with you and if you are bigger and stronger you can be the lifter!!
but most of all have fun!!
