Question by Shelby M: What can I do to make the Middle School cheerleading team?
Im in 6th grade and I am going to try out for Middle School cheerleading…the problem is I have only taken one cheerleading class…at church camp. I am really loud and peppy and I can flip… some, but I dont know if I could make it. What are some tips for that problem?

Give your answer to this question below!
practice practice practice
Wear clean socks.
Do the best you can do! try learning some cheers before the tryouts and im sure they will train you, try learning basic cheerleading moves, such as backflips, cartwheels, splits and such and be yourself! hope that helps 🙂
I’m a cheerleader and all you have to do right is being straight and have attitude. And remember everything for tryouts
The main thing you have to remember is BE CONFIDENT! That is 90% of any try-out or audition =)
Good luck!
I feel you. I am only in the 5th grade, but its practically the same. Just be the best you can be, you’re probably better than me.
try your best. practice,practice,practice. go to a local gym and use a treadmill. buy a mat at your house. stretch, do a few moves. it cant hurt!……good luck!!
Well i am a middle school cheerleader. first i made sure that i could do a cartwheel, roundoff and possibly a roundoff back handspring.
dont be nervous at the aution because they will tell what you need to fix for next year if you dont make it.
i would practice simple cheers like for examplC-R-O-F-T-O-N crofton heres to win shout it with me now C-R-O-F-TO-N
SMILE- have fun! I was a cheerleader in Middle School and they looked for hard working girls who have fun with cheer! Just stay peppy and practice!
Ive been a cheerleader for 4 years and at try outs remember u can learn and coach’s know that.Just stretch every night and work out and practice jumps.If u r small try practicing a heel stretch or scorpion also the splits.Before try outs make sure there isn’t a dress code.The day of try outs eat a good breakfast .Before u get to tryouts put your hair up and if there isn’t a dress code wear a nice blank shirt, shorts and athletic shoes.Remember be tight and smile and have a positive attitude!!!
No matter what your experience or abilities are, be confident. You may be the best tumbler but not portray yourself as a great person and not make it while another girl who is not a good tumbler but has a great personality and tries hard will make it. Make sure you are open to try different things and just try your best. They cannot ask for anything more. Remember, they are only going to judge you on what you put out there, not what you “could have” done. So whatever you can do, prepare, and put on a show! SMILE! good luck!
Be friends with the coach. If they know your attitde towards it then they’ll want you to be on the squad. If you think they might
hate you…then suck up and keep up the smiling crap… They
like that.
hey! well im going into 9th grade and i just made my JV cheer squad.
You will probably find out more information because most schools hold CLINICS before the acutal tryouts.clinics last from about 2-4 days. and it teaches you jumps, the cheers, chants, and dance moves that you will have to do at the tryouts in order to make the team. to gurantee a spot on the team: you must have:
1) School Spirit
2) A great smile, not a Fake one
3) Flexibility and leg strength
4) Cooperation
What judges look for at tryotus are confidence. If you make a mistake, your not supposed to cry and run away. You pretend like that mistake did not happen and continue with whatever routine you were just doing. Make sure you smile! that is very very important. Your movements also have to stiff and straight. No wobbly high V’s or anything like that.
Basically, you will soon find more information if you keep looking into it and if you really want to make the team, then it will show. You also have to have a great attitude because people look up to cheerleaders in their school.
Also: what kind of cheer is your cheer squad?
if it is: competitional then if you have no cheer experience it will be pretty much rare luck that you make it in. because competitional cheer squads are serious and compete all over the place and you have to have a LOT LOT of cheer experience.
if it is spirit (like mine): you will probably compete in about at least 2 compettions (like mine haha) and your mostly there to cheer on major sports like basketball and football. that is why it is called spirit!
so i hope you get it. i already love cheerleading it is fun but it requires a LOT of time. so if you dont have time, i reccommend not trying out.
Tip: you MIGHT get intimidated by other girls, but what i think about is myself and instead of watching other girls and thinking omg they are soo making it! just think about yourself. Dont have tooo much confidence but have enough so that the judges could see it clearly! and also make eye contact!
GOOD LUCK!
im in 7th grade and im in a seperate cheerleading squad and would be glad 2 help u
