Question
Please tell me what i could do for a routine or whatever at try outs..i am only a seventh grader so i have to wait until next year...but this is something i really want so i will train all year! any ideas?

Answer
a lot of times the schools give you half of a cheer and you have to finish the rest..or they just give you one, or tell you to make it all up, so it depends on that. Try doing some jumps: toetouches and pikes are probably one of the best choices.  If you can try doing roundoffs, backhandsprings, and backflips, but make sure your safe and can do them safely before you try that. and most importantly be loud and spunky! because thats what cheerleaders are!
