Question by The Sun Still Sleeps…: Could I make it in High school cheerleading?
I am going into high school, and was wondering what I would need to do to be on the cheerleading team. I know I have to try out, but like what else do I have to do? I dance, and someone asked if I was going to do cheerleading, but I hadn’t exactly thought about it, but I was just wondering! Thx.
I just got braces today also. Would this count against me at all? How good would I have to be at gymnastics? Thx. again!
Best answer:
Answer by me
do your best
What do you think? Answer below!
practice alot and stay fit
you should ask current cheerleaders what you have to be able to do to make it!! i am a cheerleader and the qualifications differ from school to school…good luck!!
well if you are fat dont even try
You can do anything you put your mind to, you may not make varsity right away but if you work at it you’ll dominate.
I did the same with football in highschool I played on the Freshman team my first year made varsity the next three. Go get em!
You can do anything you put your mind to. Good luck if you decide to go through with it.
u hafta sleep with the football players.. and u better be good or you’ll be in big trouble
be cool and hot
go for it and follow your dreams
You should probaly be flexible and be able to do hand springs! It’s okay if you can’t still go try out trust I couldnt and still made it so just try this out!
i guess u could make it but that is a stupid ? we dont kno anything about u and u want us to tell u if u could make it … keep up the dance and run i think that woyuld help
Usually, you need background in gymnastics. In our county, you must have a free-standing back handspring in order to make all varsity and most junior varsity squads. Dance background also helps. If you don’t have the tumbling, perhaps your school has a dance team? They are becoming more and more prevalent as “professional cheerleading squads” (such as the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders) are really dance teams.
You have to be really flexible and have good balance,.. which you probably do if you’re a dancer, and if you want to make the squad, you should probably be able to do a cartwheel or backflip,.. and be prepared to be out to all games, no matter how cold or nasty the weather is.
All you need is great popularity and yeah
In order to be a cheerleader it is a requirement to know how to do a split. You have to either be able to do a jumping split, roundoff, cartwheel, or back flip but not nessesarily all three. Again split is a requirement. Good hygiene is a plus. It also helps if you have straight teeth.Their not gonna tell you that but nice smiles play a major roll. Do you want someone with a jacked up mouth leading you in cheer? You dont have to be a certain size to be a cheerleader of course size will play a part in whether your on top of the pyramid or on bottom getting stepped on. Have all these skills, good hygiene, peppy attitude, go in their with a smile and confidence and youll do fine.
DON’T FORGET ALL THE GYMNASTICS INVOLVED!!! Cheerleading is more then a bunch of all-too-peppy girls doing dances and “easy” tricks and flips.
Go to your sports office and ask them. Try your best keep fit and eat the right food.
definitely try your best! Dance does help! and stiff arms like when you do high v (arms raised above your head in a v shape) very stiff arms. good luck!
