Do I have what it takes to be a cheerleader?

Question by aracelyace: Do I have what it takes to be a cheerleader?
I really want to be a cheerleader this school year.
The only problem is I’m not flexible at all. I can’t do a heel stretch , handstand, scorpion, or a herkie -__-‘
I’m courageous brave &loud & I’m not afraid to show the school spirit.

Do I still have a chance of being a cheerleader?
If I don’t are there any other sports I could consider?
I thought of Volleyball & Track?

honestly, i think you do.

unless your superr fat then your all good. all the bitches in my school arent flexable for shitt, and there cheerleaders. the least you can do is tryout.

    do volleyball or track<3
    volleyball is super fun and it looks great doing its 🙂
    cheerleader is gonna be really tough especially if you're not flexible or anything like that.
    you need to be strong and be able to lift people

    uhh.. i think you should practice. Cheerleading is a sport, contrary to popular belief that it’s just a bunch of preppy girls flimsily waving pomp pomps in the air.

    JUST PRACTICE AND U WILL GET WEN I FIRST TRY ED OUT 4 CHEER LEADING I DID NOT NO AND THING ABOUT AND I COUND DO A HERIKE A BACK FLIP OR NOTHING THEN I TRY ED OUT AND MADE IT AND THEN I STARED PRACTICING NOW I CAN DO ANY THING TO A BACK TUCK TO A HERKIE AND I AM THE CAPTION AND I THINK U DO HAVE A GREAT CHANCE OF MAKING IT

    You’ll get more flexible. I couldn’t touch my toes until i was six, when i started doing karate and soccer.

    Now, I can barely do it cause I moved onto different types of sports

    You’re usually not going to be good at something unless you start learning it.

    heeey (: thanks for answering mine, so its my turn now. sooo
    YES YOU CAN MAKE THE TEAM.
    i couldn’t do any of the things you listed when i tried out. i probably still can’t. maybe just a small herkie. trust me, as long as you have the voice and you’re brave and your willing to be silly to show spirit, you can do it. i wasn’t the strongest, but now i’m being a base and lifting people. yes, i’m the smallest and all, but i honestly don’t like flying. mmk, thats off topic. so the point is, yes you can make the team. i’m sure all your cheer workout will make you more flexible. i wasn’t even close to being able to the splits before, and now that we do it everyday, i can almost do it. and if you’re still nervous, just stretch everyday. try your hardest everyday. on your own time of course. if you’re super determined, you’ll be able to make it

    Tips:

    im a cheerleader and you dont really have to be that flexible, just practice.
    so yes you do have a chance and plus its mostly about yelling ^.^

    but other wise i was in volleyball to thats really fun!! =]

    Of coarse you do! Being in cheer is all about being loud and peppy so show that side a lot girl! And don’t worry, flexibility and all that stuff will come in time. Good Luck (:

    YESS!! cus i am not flexible and made cheerleading and also the only reason you would need heelsterth or scorpion is if you wanted to be a flyer

  10. Maggie

    I cant do any of those either and that didnt stop me.
    Im a back spotter instead of a flyer witch you need to beable to do scorpian, heel strech etc. for that

    Yes you still hve a chance because if your loud, show school spirit, and brave then your already good(:
