I love cheerleading and other sports im reallly good at sports right now im training with my big bro to get rid of my 4 pack to a six pack and im half way there. My bro says i have to keep up with him so i work out a little more then him because im a girl im also very flexable too. Its so much fun doing sports but i also work at a farm for an hour once a week cause i love animals. I really dont know why im leaving this pointless long commet.

im about to enter highschool and ive had no experience on how to be a cheerleader but ive always wanted to be one. im pretty good at the dances, and cheers. but its the flexibility and tumbling part i need help with. Any advice?

[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

i agree

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.

@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!

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?
