Answer
Heyy Alexis,
    Congrats on being on varsity!!  I am also and our squad isn't all about tumbling or stunting either. We have about 5 people that can tumble.  
     To get your jumps better try stretching more . . . that should help.
     I would suggest going to a local all-star cheerleading gym and start tumbling classes, because that would help you to learn form somebody that could spot you.
     IF YOU NEED ANY MORE HELP LET ME KNOW!! kEEP ME POSTED!!
Sincerly,
   Katlin <3

Expertise

I can answer all kinds of questions that are about tumbeling, stunting, flying, cheering, dancing, flexabilty, motions, and just getting back in shape. I can't answer questions about the drill team. I was on an all-star team for 7 years and am currently on my high school team which I have been on for 3 years, and I am currently captain of my high school squad. On my all-star team I was a flyer, a base, and a tumbler. I would be glad to help you, so you may give me some of your questions and I would be glad to give you as much information as I can.
