I can’t tumble, and I was just wondering, will most high school teams take you without tumbling ability. I can fly, but not tumble.

It depends where you go to school. At my school you dont have to tumble. At tryouts it doesnt count aginst you if you cant. But just going to the neighboring school you have to.

How much gymnastics ability do you need to have to be a cheerleader at public school?

Question by Carry P: How much gymnastics ability do you need to have to be a cheerleader at public school?
I’m going back to public high school next year and I was thinking about cheerleading because I think it might be fun. (They didn’t have a squad at my old school) And I was wondering how much gymnastic ability you need to tryout. (I have a little but I’m not sure if it’s enough)

For some schools you don’t need any gymnastics ability, but that’s fairly rare. At most schools, having your back handspring makes you pretty solid for tryouts and for making the team. But, for some schools, it may be more or less.

What ability does it take to be a cheerleader?

Question by summerlovin: What ability does it take to be a cheerleader?
I know you have to be physicaly fit to be a cheerleader, but do you need to know any certain tricks at the 13-14 age level? I really want to become one, but I cant even do a flip! Is that OK or not?

It would be nice if a current cheerleader of that age level or expederienced that age level answered the question.
