Answer by Kylie
It of course depends on your specific squad but I would know how to do a back walkover, a cartwheel, and maybe just a few other things that you already know how to do. As long as you have the simple things covered, you should easily make it by just being loud and having good dance skills. Good luck on making the squad. Remember to practice some of you simple tumbling skills though because you never know how rusty you could be!

5) Front flip

They most likely will not count too many points against you for not being able to do these things, but you will get a lot of points for knowing how to.

You will also need:

1) Strength- You will be lifting up people often.
2) Coordination- You will be moving different parts of your body at the same time.
3) Teamwork- You will always be working with a team.
4) Good memorization- You will be taught several cheers and dances QUICKLY.
5) Loudness- You will have to scream to be heard over the crowd.

Good luck with the tryouts!
