Cheerleading : How to Become a Cheerleader

[Giraffegirl93Jaz]

I have always wanted to become a cheerleader but never really been flexible and can only do cartwheels,handstands, back bends, front walkovers and roundoff. so instead i did calisthenics for five years then a range of dance for three years which was mostly ballet, but this year i've decided to stop because i don't have the love for it like i do for cheerleading. Has anyone got ideas how to become a cheerleader. thanks

[ambeOMG12345]

i agree

[xNeonCrAzEdx]

In order to try out for high school cheerleading, you need to train. Like at least for 5 months. You probably won't make it unless you have a back handspring or if you're a really good stunter. Well, at the schools I've seen.

[cheerleader949]

i really like cheerleading but i dont know how to do tumbling stuff and i live in canada /calgary if there is any way for summer classes please let me know .thanks.

[Cheer2000Allstar]

do they have free trial classes in kernersville?

[c2decocd]

ii lovee cheering too and actual its not really hard. honestly, i think you just have to have good rythm most people think you have to be tiny but i know a lot of girls that our big and still did it.

[michaelchaffer]

My cusin gona become a cheereleder in 1month !!

[kawaiiwarrior]

so, i need a real cheerleaders opinion. im in 7th grade, i do basketball, and im really good. im pretty fleible, because i practice every day, watch youtube videos and read books about cheerleading and im not very good at the jumps not horrible, but im improving. by highschool do u (a legit cheerleader) think i should try out?

[savannahrenee1113]

@kawaiiwarrior You should try out now if you can! You should defiantly try out in high school! If you are sharp and have a wonderful smile and great spirit, you should be just fine!

[Briannawuzhur]

ive been on many different squads and i think that the best school squad is one that's more about having fun and showing spirit than competing. if you want to compete join an all-star squad. you can even do both, but school cheer is all about cheering on your boys.

[PrettyPrincess2614]

At my school, last year, we had cheerleading try outs. Some of the girls were a little thicker than others. And the teacher just had to choose the skinniest girls she could find!!! >.<

[tsinniginnie]

your all so good



[Babygirl000121]

HOW DO I JOIN???!(:

[susiegupton46]

Isn't Erica e on this team??

[TheBri9909]

[MyPeaceLuver]

being a cheerleader is fun especially if your at the top of the pyramid.

[glitterandsparkles13]

[ariberry11614955]

[EDT3themonkey]

[abercromhollistluver]

I tap dance and also jazz dance so im really excited to try out for cheerleading since I have a lot of experience in dance..but not a whole bunch in gymnastics....should i consider taking lessons? well i saw the team and they dont do a lot of gymnastics more dance...but idk should I?

[mayakoolkid]

[TheJenna1]

im scared that i wont know anyone and i wont have any friends someone help advice please should i still tr out

[zenzali]

@TheJenna1 yeah you should...and you'll eventually get make friends on the squad..never let something like that make you stop going 4 what u want

[saraurby77365]

Where are they like at???

[DramaQueen9324]

how did i know that ehow would pop up.

[boomblastboom]

i want to do a cheerleading team in my school but the people in my school are really mean & would make fun of me. I have the ability to work at something & give it my all & i could be 110 % dedicated to this if it weren't for the kids .. what should I do ?

[anita2131]

i'm 10 and i live in EGYPT one more crushed dream

ugh

[TheJenna1]

@anita2131 why do they not have allstar cheerleading in egypt

[willthacheerleader18]

I realllly want to do allstar cheerleading. I cheer on my high school team, and I am the only guy. I tumble at Cheer Extreme Raleigh.. but allstar is so expensive.. I am also 18 and a senior in high school, so I dont think i can do allstar

[Kenzie905]

i am 10 and i thought it would be cool to be a cheerleader when i get older but im in canada so we dont have cheerleading teams. :/

[SillyMeNoSillyYou]

@Kenzie905 umm actually cheerleading is canadas fastest growning sport, i would know im a canadian cheerleader :) just saying

[willthacheerleader18]

@Kenzie905 actually, canada has some! they are hard to find though.. canada even has proffessional teams (for the Canadian Football League)..

[123localoca1]

I'm already one and love it green hornets so yeah also it gives popularity that's why I am and so many guys have asked me out wooh

[AlishaBartletteMusic]

i wanna be a cheerleader sooooo badly but i weigh like 140 and i have stage fright so i cant do it:(

[RainbowSprinkles09]

@AlishaBartletteMusic you can! you have to overcome your fear! its fun and its all about being yourself and having spirit!

[KayKay1713]

@AlishaBartletteMusic I think you should try :) It doesn't matter what your weight is and I really think cheerleading helps with stage fright. If you work hard you can succeed :)

[willthacheerleader18]

@AlishaBartletteMusic weight does not matter!! :] and I did too, but cheerleading helps you get over that fright!

[danceoff80]

fun

[YOSSELINEM]

I MISS CHEER....

[TheCocogirl2]

me and my mate do cheer leading :D its awesome

[Pengo898]

if you want to make it next year (i think its too late to try out this year )

1. Ask other cheerleaders for help (half of my friends are on the squad and they taught me a lot of the cheers they do and helped me)

2. Stretch every day ( try to almost do the splits and if you cant do it try to touch ur toes)

3. Watch lots of vids and practice cheers, ur high kick, etc and

4. Figure out what position u would be good at (are you strong?) be a base

(tiny or light?) flyer etc.

Good Luck!!

[coleyoko94]

im a junior in highschool, i want to be a cheerleader really badly but i dont have any training. the school year has already started so i think ill have to try out next year when i am a senior. is that too late? i dont know any flips or things. PLEASE help me with advice!

[KayKay1713]

@coleyoko94 Its not too late. If you really want to cheer you definatly should :) If you find out your schools requirements to make the squad than that would help you see what you need to work on. Like for my school tumbling isnt required so we just had to make sure our jumps looked good and our motions were tight and sharp.

[spankingnewmusic]

wow that video they show is of british cheerleading wow i can't believe it

[delam416]

helps to be a gymnast too. lol real cheerleaders didnt become cheerleaders jsut because they are pretty, its because they are able to do acrobatic talents during a competition, which are fierce. SO don't become a cheerleader for the wrong reasons, its an actual sport..

[IlovemybabyShadow9]

I wanna be a cheerleader, and everyone says I should but I dont gotta clue bout it! Im 5' 5" 110lbs and very athletic.

[KayKay1713]

@IlovemybabyShadow9 I think you would be good for cheerleading :) You could probably be a flyer or is your one of the taller girls you might be a backspot. If you have questions about cheer I'd be happy to answer :)

[smschroeder94]

its not that hard, i made the squad. just takes a lot of dedication and work. anyone can become a cheerleader if they really wanted to. you just have to practice alot and put alot of time and effort into it.
