The only person who can answer your questions is the cheer coach. Usually there is a first time meeting where you will get the info about costs and uniforms, but I wouldn’t wait until then to find out because you might need to make your decision to cheer based on that info.

So find out if there are any reasons you can’t cheer, like it costs too much, or they require tumbling skills that you don’t have. While you are waiting to get the answers to those questions, you should be training for tryouts. If it is a very athletic and competitive squad you are trying out for you will want to sign up for a tumbling class; and nearly every day do tumbling drills, stretching and conditioning for strength, endurance and flexibility; and work on motions and jumps as well. You can see tips, pictures, and videos of how to learn these skills here: http://aescougarcheer.com/Cheer101/basics.htm
