Like specific tumbling skills, splits, cheers, jump, dance, etc.
What cheer elements are required to make your local squad?

It of course depends on your specific squad but I would know how to do a back walkover, a cartwheel, and maybe just a few other things that you already know how to do. As long as you have the simple things covered, you should easily make it by just being loud and having good dance skills. Good luck on making the squad. Remember to practice some of you simple tumbling skills though because you never know how rusty you could be!

well cheerleading doesnt have many requirements as you think. the basic ones are cheer abillty (so the ability to pick up cheers with swiftness, rhythm, peppiness. and smiles are always great no matter what. Also if you really want to make a good impression throw in some jumps and flips right left and middle splits are always a plus. stunts.
