Question by jackandrose307: What goes on in 9th grade sideline cheerleading?
I’m thinking about trying out for cheerleading, and I would like to know what you do in 9th grade sideline cheerleading. Like, how many times you practice a week and what kinds of stunts you do. Please no rude answers, because they are unnecessary 🙂 Thanks!!

well im on the 8th grade team and we practice about three times a week after school. For games we usually stay after school and we just do cheers. The stunts we do are elevators, extensions, we do twist downs, pyramids. we also do some tumbling

Hun, I’m 13 and TRUST ME ive been there. My mom really wanted a cheerleading daughter, so i was like what the hey, and went to the meeting. The coach won’t just standy you up and say do something. for us, she taught us a cheer and half of a dance. they dont look on how “good” you are. Just if you try and focus on keeping “sharp” and “enthusiastic” None of the other cheerleaders will laugh at you for just starting. All the other girls in my group had done cheer summer camps with the high school and were all experienced. They were newbs once too, and if they do pick on you, just remind them of that. Or tell them to go choke on a pom (: but just make sure the girl isnt your base, because that could be kinda risky (: I really hope this helped. Feel free to email me at littleraincloud323@yahoo.com if you have ANY questions about cheer or dance. ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD TO YOU!!! I hope this helped!

What do you have to do to be a 6th grade cheerleader?

And do you have to be popular?

Answer by Ruby Slippers
It probably depends on the school. Here I think you just join the dance team, it’s an extracurricular, and there’s no auditions or popularity contest or whatever.

What do I need to know for 6th grade cheerleading tryouts?

Question by ~LuvHurts~: What do I need to know for 6th grade cheerleading tryouts?
Well cheerleading tryouts are next week and I need to know what there going to ask me to do also how can I learn how to do a back handspring in a week.

Best answer:

Answer by Marissa
It is IMPOSSIBLE to do a back handspring in a week.

Try to do something a little easier.

How about a toe touch? Or how about a herkie?

They want your arms to be TIGHT, and make sure your cinnamon rolls are facing them.

Always, always, always, smile no matter what!

Never end your cheer saying “WOOOO! YAYY!” They want words.

Hope that helped. Sorry about the back handspring news. I wish that was possible though.

I’m a sophomore,and I want to be a cheerleader when I move to my new school, Next Semester, but I would have to be in Junior Varsity, and I would like to continue cheerleading when I’m a junior, but I don’t want to be a junior in JV.
So do they move you up to Varsity when you get into a higher grade level, or would I have to quit JV and tryout all over again for Varsity?
