Should I be a cheerleader??

I really need your help! I want to tryo out 4 cheerleading, but I don’t want to make a fool of myself. I really want to be a backspot, base, or spotter. All my friends say I’m flexible enough, and I’ve had 3 cheerleaders tell me I should tryout and that I would probably make it. I can almost do the splits, but I CAN’T do a cartwheel!! And those other things like herkies sound like they hurt! I’m 5’ 7” and about 155 lbs. and I have really strong legs. Am I too fat to cheerlead??

thanks!! You really helped. What seems to work 4 me when I think I won’t make it is saying to myself, “Well, there are people on American Idol who don’t make it, and they lost on national tv.” That sees to calm me down. I don’t know why.
