Should I try out for cheerleading or wait and see what happens next year?
Question by Jessy: Should I try out for cheerleading or wait and see what happens next year?
I’m in seventh grade, and I’m twelve. Wow, I’ve repeated that so many times on here. Anyway, cheerleading tryouts are coming up pretty soon. This week, actually. I’ve never been the type to want to try out. I never thought I would. My mom was a cheerleader long ago, so she’d really approve. I’d really like to do it, too! The only thing is, I don’t know what my friends would think. Now, I’m not the type to worry about what others think or really care, but all of my best friends think that cheerleaders are just annoying girls who scream and are stupid preps. It just doesn’t seem like me! Should I just go for it, even though I have no clue what I have to do at tryouts? Or should I ask anyone else if they’re trying out, too? If anyone has ever done cheerleading, what do you have to do in order to try out?
My friends don’t either.
They get so stuck up when it comes to what they call “preps”.

I say go for it! When I tried out when I was your age, we had to do three different types of jumps, a cheer with a group of about three other girls, and then a cheer by yourself. Im not sure how it is with your school though. Good luck if you decide to try out!!

What happens at cheerleading tryouts for an average highschool?
Question by Emily P: What happens at cheerleading tryouts for an average highschool?
I’ve been cheerleading since 4th grade (recreationally, not elite) and I’ve always been confident about making the high school squad next year but now I’m kind of nervous because maybe all of my experience won’t pay off. What do they usually make you do??

That’s great that you want to continue cheering in high school. The upcoming freshmen are always the most nervous so you’re not the only one. Tryouts are usually a week long and they teach you a cheer, some chants, and a dance (different with some schools). The key is to practice hard and not get frustrated. Coaches look for technique, skill, and appearance (put together/ not sloppy). SMILE during tryouts. Practice in the mirror or in front of others to critique. Remember: it matters about skill not experience! Good luck! You’ll do great! 🙂
