Don't listen to these people they are retarded. They clearly have no idea about anything about the sport of cheer. You should be flexible, fit, energetic, and really be able to dance or e strong. If it is a competitive cheer squad look up cheer competition stunts on YouTube it will give you some voice on what cheers all about :)
Be loud! Go from your diaphram because it helps a lot. You kind of want to sound more manly than girly...cause thats annoying. You have to be tight with your motions (high v, low v, baby t, t, high touch down, low touchdown, clap, clasp) you need to work on you splits which i know is a pain but it really does help! Stretch a lot and smile anytime you do anything having to do with cheer because it helps you to not even think about it. work on your toetouches because eventually you probably will have to do double toetouches. when you are tight with your motions it should hurt when you start but soon it will not even hurt if you work hard at it! Cheerleading is A LOT of work so make sure you really want to do it because you dont want to let your squad down!
first thing: do not join any sport unless YOU really want to be a part of the sport. especially cheer. and don't be afraid to tell your friend no if you don't want to do it.
to make the team you need to try-out. a typical try-out involves a cheer and a short dance. and depending on the team's size and level you may be required to perform a jump and tumbling skill. you may also be asked to do your splits.
be confident and smile big. and if you mess up keep going. don't give up!
and good luck if you decide to try-out! (:
Be peppy, and perky. Have unlimited amount of time. High gradea is a mist (they'll kick you off otherwise.)
Blonde hair, nice face, nice body oh and it would really help if you could shout Goooooo! Wildcats!
to be a cheerleader you need to know absolutely nothing...literally
