Q&A: what are the requirements to be a competitive cheerleader?

Question by becca marie: what are the requirements to be a competitive cheerleader?
i used to cheer like 3 years ago, when i was 12. now im 15 and trying something new, instead of regular cheerleading i’m gonna do competitive. i’m nervous cause i cannot do flips or backhandsprings. i can do jumps but not that great. i can do cartwheels and such. i cant do a split. my friends say there arent try outs because not a lot of girls are interested but i’m still super scared.

It really just depends on your schools requirments or whatever team your trying out on.. my highschool team you dont have to be able to tumble or do the spllits or anything like that they base their postitions off of jumps and movements… give it a try and try anything dont be afraid… good luck =)

You absolutely have enough time! Requirements vary from team to team, but here are some general guidelines:

Sign up for a tumbling class asap! Tumbling is becoming a major requirement for many teams, so taking classes in the meantimes is a huge bonus!

If flipping and tumbling isn’t your thing, not to worry. I had no tumbling expereince when I started. The MOST important things are dedication and willingness to learn! Sounds lame, but coaches are looking for athletes who will try multiple positions (Base, Fly, Etc.) and who will go forth with a great attitude! They don’t want athletes who aren’t willing to learn, especially because cheerleaders need to be just that – leaders!

Make sure you are staying in shape, eating well, and like I said tumbling is a huge bonus. That and a dose of confidence and you’ll be good to go!

Most high school cheerleaders have been cheer leading for many years before going to high school. They either have natural talent or have taken classes.

You have to try out for cheer leading and be chosen by school staff. If you don’t already know how you will probably not be chosen for the cheer team.

a normal cheerleading tryout consists of:
– a dance
– a cheer
– jumps

the dance will be a few counts of 8 and will be a routine alike to one in a competition routine

the cheer will be a couple minutes long and most likely repetetive
the side lines will be very easy and short
and the jumps (they will look at flexiblility, tightness, and most of all your approach)

if your school has multiple day tryouts (they should…) then PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!!!!!! when you get home from the first day (the day you will learn all you need to know) practice EVERYTHING in the MIRRORR! you need to be tight and sharp with all your moves.

most cheer squads do not care if you can do a round off or a cartwheel so when they ask if anyone can tumble, do not say “yes i can do a roundoff!” “yess i can do a cartwheel” because they will think you are an idiot (not trying to be rude sorry) but by tumbling they mean backhandsprings (AT THE LEAST)… anone can do a cartwheel.

GOODLUCK.

Best answer:

Answer by Selena L
Average high school cheerleading squad.

Is solid jumps (toe touch, herkie)
Sometimes flexiblity (high kicks, splits)
Some dance ability
Tumbling/Gymnastics back ground (round-off back handspring back tuck, or just standing back handspring)

All these depend on what level of cheerleading your trying out for.
