How many days should I give the girls to practice before actual tryouts [CHEERLEADING]?

Question by BonBooskie: How many days should I give the girls to practice before actual tryouts [CHEERLEADING]?
I am coaching A-Team 7th & 8th grade cheerleading this year! I’m not sure how many days I should give them to practice the cheers, chants, jumps, & kicks before actual tryouts! Maybe that Mon Tue Wed Thurs…And make that Friday the actual tryout?

Answer by CheerGirl91
We just did our tryouts. We practiced monday wednesday friday and then monday. We started tryouts yesterday and they finish today.

I think four days is enough. If you really feel like they need more time then give them the weekend but tell them you expect more from them on monday. My old coach said that we could tryout friday or monday, friday means less time to practice but not as harsh judging. monday meant more time to practice but harsh judging.

If you are confident that they have had enough time then friday tryouts seem fair, but be aware that they might take more than one day.

Has anyone ever slept in a cheerleading bodysuit before?

Question by Kaitlyn McPartlin: Has anyone ever slept in a cheerleading bodysuit before?
I’m wearing one of my bodysuits that I wear for cheerleading, and it’s so comfy! I was wondering if you thought they’re comfortable enough to sleep in or not. It’s a white mock-turtleneck, long sleeve with snap crotch.

Mine rubbed, so it wasn’t very comfy after 8 hours, but if yours doesn’t normally bother you, then it should be fine..

Question by Kibbles: How to calm your nerves before your first cheerleading competition?
Okay so my school only competes in cheerleading on varsity level. I made the competition squad and we’ve been working on our routine since June. Our first competition is in exactly one week! I am so nervous because it’s my first time competing. I am a flier and we do numerous stunts and I’m scared I’ll let my team down by letting my nerves get to me and not hitting a stunt.
