Well its too last to join football cheer[it started a few weeks ago] but my school also offers basketball cheer

Im trying to work on my flexibility

I know I can get flexible because I did dance when I was 8-10

But long story short I need help

well look up cheer jumps like, tie touch, tuck, hurkey ect... When you jump, jump off your toes... If you have the money and time take tunneling, even if only 4 a week

im a cheerleader too!

so for the stretching and flexibility:
just work for like 20 minutes per day, doing normal stretches.
reaching down and touching your toes
sitting and reaching out for your toes
and also try pulling your foot up in back of your, it stretches your back
do backbends, too

then the jumps:
so basically a toe-touch is self-explanatory. you jump up and do a strattle, reaching for your toes but not bending your back
a pike it when you try to bring your feet straight out in front of you in the air and touch your toes
a tuck is just jumping up with your knees bent basically
a herkey/hurtler is when you jump up with one foot extended straight forward and the other tucked beneath your butt

and now for the cheer wisdom:
so I've been cheering for like 8 years, and watching my sister cheer even before that.
1)scream loud, but not screeching, theres a big difference
2)yell from your diaphragm, its below your ribcage, to get the feel of screaming from their, practice shouting your abc's while pressing on it
3)ask questions if your not getting how to do something or they're going to fast
4)if you're still not getting it, ask another cheerleader to help you sometime after school
5)remember cheerleading's a team sport, you're only as good as your worst cheerleader. if someones doing bad, offer to help them nicely
6)SMILEEE! and make other fun facial expressions at the crowd and judges. but dont wink or do anything too cheesy, it looks bad.

GOOD LUCKK! (:

the best advice I could give you is:

SMILE
BE LOUD
POP YOUR MOTIONS

When you got o tryouts you have to LOOK like a cheerleader:

1) Hair up
2) Put a ribbon in your hair ( one that matches your clothes of course)
3) Cheer Shorts (not basketball shorts)
4) Roll the sleeves of your shirt up
5) Tennis Shoes

Have confidence in yourself...
If you need help...dont be afraid to ask

The first time I tried out the coach told me this saying to remember :
Hands on hips, Smile on lips!
I've used it for 4 years

*GOOD LUCK*

ok, keep your movements sharp! when you jump

bring your legs in front of you...like not in a split...

look up! always look up! OH and if you are trying out

smile and be loud and sharp...most squads don't care

about how many back hand springs you can do. or if you have your layout

hey, I'm a cheerleader.

in order to work on your jumps you might want to try jumping off of stairs (not high ones, only like, 3 steps) and doing the basics (toe-touch, pike, tabletob, etc.) and your prep, as for tumbling, well, I'm a flyer, not a major tumbler, so, I cant help you there...

Ok so you have a lot of work to do...

Workouts:
3 miles 3-5 times a week at least
crunches-as many as you can handle
pushups-as many as you can handle

Stretching:
splits
splits
splits
butterflies
pizzas(the stretch)
hurky stretches both sides

Pointers:

At Tryouts-
wear school colors
look prepy
dont overdue the makeup
no jewelry(yes I said NO jewelry)
proper cheerleading shoes

How to get the judges Attention-
yell loud-dont scream
stick all of your motions
do all the tumbling you know how to do well!

goodluck!
