Does anyone know what is needed for a non tumbling team? Last year I tried out at only one gum, where they mainly focused on toe touches. This year I am hoping to try out for both gums, where the other gym focuses on stunts. I am trying to work on both. Does anyone know what stunts are needed or...

Hi! SO I am a little conflicted about what I should this year. I am 20 years old, a Teaching Assistant, a coach, and a college sophomore.

Backstory: Last year I tried out for my high school's cheer team. I was the only girl who had never done cheer before, and I was trying out for my junior year. Me and one other girl didn't make the team, so it had me pretty down. I can do high jumps and stuff just fine, but closest thing to...

I have noticed many Colleges are going to virtual tryouts for this season due to the coronavirus situation. Any thoughts, advice, or tips?

My daughter tryout week is this week. Several of the girls have been hit with a bug that made them very nauseous and vomiting to the point of dehydration. Luckily it seems to last only 24 hours but also seems to be very contagious. The first day 2 girls had it, yesterday 4. Unfortunately, our...

CP has tryouts for school cheer Monday. It’s a game day team. For clinics, the new kids have just worn assorted t-shirts and shorts. Should CP match the team colors? Bow or not? She’s excited about the team, but a little nervous since the tryout is focusing on cheers, jumps and dance over...

We have tryouts coming up for “summer spirit” (read: basically the cheer team but defined as a “advanced summer-long cheer clinic” until we’re legally allowed to hold offical tryouts in August). Anyway, I wanted to do something a bit flashier rather than just an online posting of the teams...
