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.

Q&A: What do you think. Do parents want their children to get involved in cheerleading or gymnastics more.?

Question by XoXoMiSsTwInKlEsXoXo: What do you think. Do parents want their children to get involved in cheerleading or gymnastics more.?
I’m writing a paper for class. My teacher is big into girl sports. Example: cheerleading and gymnastics. For girls, what do you think their mom would prefer them to get involved in more.I personally thing gymnastics, since it’s a little harder to get them involved in cheerleading in a younger age, they usually start with gymnastics. But I want to hear you’re opinion.

Thanks!

Probably gymnastics.. You can earn scholarships more easily for gymnastics than you could for cheerleading. Plus, gymnastics seem to be a lot less full of drama than cheerleading. Gymnastics girls are very focused and determined, whereas cheerleaders don’t seem to be as driven. I think training in a gymnastics facility will instill better values in girls than if they were training at an allstar cheerleading gym. Hope this helps!

Question by Nikki: What kind of gymnastics must you be able to do to be a Clemson University cheerleader?
I’m planning on attending the school next year, and a former gymnast. (Recently injured and haven’t done much in a year.)

And I was wondering what sort of gymnastics skills (as well as dancing) one must have to be eligible.
Thanks! 🙂 And what sort of floor do you guys use? Is it spring, foam, mats, or just plain gym floor?

If you are a girl you will want to be able to fly partner stunts such as tosses and rewinds and be able to do double down dismounts youtube it for explanations. As far as tumbling goes round of back hand spring layout is about medium tuck at the very least and a full will guaruntee you a spot. Dance wise just basic body control and rythm. you will also need jumps such as a toe touch ( hyper extended) and a pike.
