my coach gives us a sample of the score sheet so we know what were being scored on.Running and standing tumbling,Single and Double Jump,if your a flyer,then on what you pull in the air and how you dismount (on all these you scored on the difficulty of what you do and the execution it)voice,overall attitude,dance,facials,and synchronization.

Hoped this helped if you have anymore questions feel free to email me.

we look for cheerfulness, smile, poise, flexibility, and i like to see the girls that are aware of the game they are cheering for so that they don’t do the wrong cheers…

I now judge for cheerleader try outs at my old high school and here are a few things I know I like to see along with my fellow judges:
1. Always have a smile on. If you don’t the judges think you really aren’t into it.
2. Pony tails with a bow. ultimate cheerleader accessory.
3. After jumps clap your hands before standing up right. Its just what most cheerleaders do and you need to get use to it. Coaches always make you do that.
4. If you have to dance, dance to your fullest extent. Show what you have.
5. Always be LOUD but do not scream. Use your outside voice indoors.
6. Shake the judges hands before you start and after you are done. It shows that you really want to do this.
7. Make sure that there aren’t big things conflicting with practice. That is a big turn off. Coaches want you to be 110% committed.
8. Not too much make up. The only time you should have a ton on is during competition and games.
9. Power. Show you are a strong leader. Its called cheerLEADING after all.
10. Make sure that you show confidence at all times. You can’t be shy and timid. That is a big turn off as well.
I wish you the best of luck 🙂
