Q&A: Can you be a cheerleader without tumbling ability?

Question by ballerina12349: Can you be a cheerleader without tumbling ability?
I can’t tumble, and I was just wondering, will most high school teams take you without tumbling ability. I can fly, but not tumble.
I’m going to Countryside High School next fall in Florida. Go Cougars!

It depends where you go to school. At my school you dont have to tumble. At tryouts it doesnt count aginst you if you cant. But just going to the neighboring school you have to.

Well it depends what kind of cheerleader you want to be . If its like middles school that’s easy , you do have to know how to do a cartwheel splits and toe touches . Cartwheels are easy you can learn to do those in a day basically . Toe touches you can learn on a trampoline if you know to do a split , even easier , but you don’t ( that’s okay ) get a friend whose a gymnast or cheerleader they’ll help you in a week at least . High school or competition on the other hand , harder. Join a gymnastic gym or something like that they’ll help you in months . Or go with your friends option . Like that MTV movie Made . Hope that helped ! (:

Please and Thank you

On some you may be able too. At my high school you don’t have too but others that go to competitions and stuff they may require it. Talk to or email the coach and see what she says.

Q&A: Can I try out for cheerleading without being able to do flips?

Question by b_cheer_full: Can I try out for cheerleading without being able to do flips?
I love cheerleading and I consider myself a pretty good one. I was on the top squad in middle school and when high school tryouts for cheer come up soon i want to be able to make a squad! But my classmates who are on our school’s squad right now said that you need to be able to do a back hand spring and a back flip and other stuff and all i can do is a somersault, cartwheel, and round off! Is it possible for me to make the squad?!

weeelllll . . .

that depends on your schools rules for there individual cheerleading team 🙂

At the high school I will be cheering at you need to have really good jumps be very stable at your position (top/base/back) and be really flexible. Tumbling is good to but it is not necessary if you can stand out in another way. If you can do a cartwheel or a front walkover then show them. 🙂

all i can do is a forward roll, cartwheel, roundoff, backbend, and front handspring but even that is good but I guess that also depends on your high schools team:)

My cheerleading coach used to cheer at the high school I’m going to so thats how I know what I need to be ready for 🙂

you should go see what is required so you can start a.s.a.p. working really hard on the requirements

also make sure you sre stretching every day and by try-outs you should have gained alot more flexibility (make sure you are not just stretching your splits you back is really important as well!!!!)

If you want to or you can go in tumbling at a gym near you so that you may learna few things before try-outs or if tryouts are really soon you can still tryout but then keep learning at tumbling and then you will forsure by the end of this cheer year you will have you bhs and whatever else you want if you work really hard.

Is it possible to do university cheerleading without prior cheer experience?

Question by Drama Queen: Is it possible to do university cheerleading without prior cheer experience?
I’m considering trying out for the cheerleading squad at my university, and I’m wondering if it’s possible to make the team, despite my cheer inexperience.

Has anyone else done it? Any suggestions? Encouraging words?

Tips for getting ready for tryouts?

Answer by LittleRed
Hey there, It is definitely possible to make it, but you need to work extremely hard before trying out and you need to be dedicated. I am a cheerleader, a flyer. It would help to know what position you would be on. But my advice is to get signed up at a cheer or gymnastics gym and get tumbling down. Work on your jumps, such as toe touch, double toe touch, right front, left front, right hurdler, left hurdler, and a pike. Cartwheels, roundoffs, inside cartwheels, and backhands. And flexibility is a huge thing. Really work on that. These are the basics. Check my squad out on Youtube. We are 5 year state champions. Almost College Level I believe. Springfield Varsity Cheer. This should give you an idea on what to work at. Good Luck 🙂
