Cheerleaders – Should You Try Out For Cheerleading?


Cheerleading tryouts are coming up soon and you are thinking about trying out. Even if you have already selected the team you will be trying out for, you may want do some research before you attend any tryouts. In order to increase your chances at making the team, you will want to be sure that you will be a good fit for the team and that the team is a good fit for you! To do this you will need to know what the team is all about. You know you want to join a new team but what kind of team? What things should you be looking considering when choosing a team to tryout for? Here are some things that you may want to find out.


What is the team’s style?
Look at the team’s previous members. Are they bouncy and enthusiastic? Athletic? Fun and eccentric? Be sure your style meshes with the team style and you will fit in well.

Does the team cheer for sports teams? If so, what sports?
Be sure to have a basic knowledge and enthusiasm of the sports for which the team cheers. However, if the team cheers for a football team and you hate football, consider another squad.

Is the team competitive?
If the team is competitive there will probably be a lot of focus on mastering skills and acquiring new, advanced ones too. You will likely experience demanding practices and expectations will be higher than teams who do not compete. Is this what you are looking for?

Am I expected to be capable of certain dance, tumbling or stunting skills at tryouts?
If so, be sure to practice them well in advance so that you can perform them to the best of your ability.

Does the team participate in many spirit activities, fundraising, community events or volunteering?
These activities can require a lot of time and commitment. Is this something you are willing to commit to? Are you outgoing enough to be comfortable with these activities?

What are the time and financial requirements for the team?
Be aware of the team’s schedule and commitments as well as the financial expectations of the team. Be sure that you are able to meet these requirements ahead of time.


Do some research and talk to the coach before tryouts. Express your interest in the squad and find out if there is anything specific that they are looking for. Not only will you get the information you need but you will have caught the attention of the coach.
