College Cheer!

[Emerando]

I am thinking about trying about for college cheer team. I am a very determined cheerleader and work hard to get new skills. I am not the most talented in tumbling wise and am struggling to do my handspring without spot. Any suggestions tips are much alpreciated! Try outs are the same day as my senior prom so I will be contacting the head coach to see if video tryout are accepted, is that the best idea? This college is in kansas. I live in alaska.

I would email the coach as soon as posisble and let her know that you are interested in her program. Ask her what skills are required/suggested and if video tryouts are accepted.

Then get in to your gym and set up privates or start tumbling and stunting classes to get those skills performance ready.

Go for it! I am a college cheerleader and do not tumble. Many club teams have tryouts but do not require tumbling. As long as you have marketable skills, the coach will probably see something in you.
