say goodbye to cheerleading… LOL
yes that considered a stunt toy dont have to do stunts
nope the coaches look for skill over looks nowadays sorry
it took me 4 months but i got it
Not likely. Maybe a dance squad, if you can dance. You should just get someone to teach you how to do a cartwheel, it’s not that difficult.
Try out for the flag squad.
it depends on if your school requires tumbling
if not no need to worry
just make sure your jumps are high
and you are loud and act like this is the best freaking thing in the world
and you’ll do fine
practise
Probably, You’d most likely be the ones that get thrown in the air unless your a bit heavy then you’d be the ones that yell the loudest and my 5th grade teacher was a cheer leader her whole life so her voice was like yell nonstop, so if i was you i’d think about how long i’d wanna be a cheer leader lmao.
Depends. Probable if it’s middle school. If it’s HS don’t plan on making the varsity team.
ye4s they will spot you wich means hold you while your flipping but they will push you until you get it down and you need to know how to do a round off
Get someone to teach you how to do a cartwheel. Maybe you are not practicing it right.

thats kind of a basic… you might want to ask ur cheer coach
Nope sorry
yea of course even though a cart wheel is pretty basic but yea, I think u can do it
yea u would ive tried out 4 cheerleading they said i could be on the team! im not even flexible. and my coach is super mean and strict so i quit the team 🙂 but yea theyll let u in
well, i was a cheerleader for 5 years and i never knew how to do a cartwheel or anything…. but it just depends on the league…. most cheerleading does depend on a lot of gymnastic skill… so i really dont know.
no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!if you cant do a cart-wheel you probably cant do any of their ruteens!!!!!idk how to spell it though
depends, the squad i’m on, you have to be a gymnist and know how to do flips and all that jazz. some squads are different and just want you for your cheers. so kick butt in the cheering portion and don’t be discouraged if you don’t know how to do a cartwheel.
so basically, play up your pep and pretend like you own that cartwheel.
I don’t know how to do a cartwheel either, but I still became a cheerleader! Just have tight moves and practice on your toetouch and herkey jumps, and your gymnastic skills won;t matter. Oh, and smile!
get some body good to teach you my boyfriend is not a cheer leader but its amazing the stuff he does like 10 back flips in a row it is so cool but if you can not find any body join gymnastics ok! GOOD LUCK!!!!
Well i think the best way for you to become a better cheerleader is to take gymnastics you’ll definitely learn a cartwheel and maybe some new tricks like back or front handsprings!! If your not into gymnastics then take dance like jazz or something it will make you have better flexibility so you can do the splits!
hope i helped =]
you don’t have to know how to do tumbling. you could help with stunts, as a flier or base or even a spotter. i guess, it really depends on the size of the squad and what they need. work on other skills too. make sure you can do the moves for the cheers, have a good loud voice, and are willing to work on the other things. a lot of coaches are looking for cheerleaders that are willing to work than ones that are already talented
Depends how old you are, and how competitive the team you are trying to join is. If you are in junior high most likely they will take the time to teach you during practices. Or some teams that just are not very competitive wont care that much. I did cheerleading for one season, I was AWFUL but it didn’t really matter because all of my friends were on the team and we just messed around. Other teams with not take people who are not at least moderate gymnasts.
dont want to be mean but if u dont know how to do a cartwheel chances r u arent going to make it practice it cause cheerleading is gymnastic i have some cheerleader friends and they can do back flip i will never be a cheeleader well i hope so i am a skate type of girl and a rocker but a little girly mostly rocker chic sk8r chic and hot chic any way wat i am trying to say is to keep practicing join a gymnastic and if u take that u will mostly be in cheerleader hape i helped good luck <3 keep it up : )
Yes, you can become a cheerleader by signing up. Football field-type cheerleading is different then those basketball type cheerleading. Best to go for the football type for cheerleading, since it don’t require allots of things like basketball. Basketball type may judge. Football don’t judge for making the team. Other than that, I’m really not sure, cause if you live somewhere out of state instead of TN. Best to go to a gym. place and play for awhile, or you can do jumps and stuff on the trampoline. It is not hard, it can take awhile to do it. Same to me, I didn’t know how to do a cartwheel until I started try to do it on the trampoline, and I did it! So…yea. You can go ask the coach and the coach will let you know. Hope this help.
im capt. of my squad and i cant do a cartwheel.
but i can do a back tuck front tuck front handspring backhandspring toetouch etc.
some cheerleaders can do things that others cant everyone is different.
