Getting Tryout Ready!

[RebeccaIt'sCheerTimeRenae]

Hi Everyone!​

​

I'm new but excited to be here!​

Besides coaching YOUTH cheer and gymnastics, I've personally have been out of the cheer game for about​

3 years! <--- GASP Lol Since i'm going back to school this year i really want to try out for the awesome cheer team at my college. Anything special you guys do/use to get tryout ready? (workout regimens/stretches, awesome cheer videos or links etc)​

I really want to do coed so i am currently getting into flyer shape and brushing up on my tumbling. Tryouts are 2nd week in may, All advice is welcomed!​

​

Thanks guys!​

If you're stretching, tumbling, working out/conditioning, I think you're pretty much covered. Can you go to an open gym somewhere with someone to work specific stunts you want to show off??

Also, talk to the coach. Introduce yourself and see what their expectations are for the upcoming season. This way, they already know who you are before tryouts start which means they're more likely to remember you at tryouts

Thanks! Appreciate the response!
Unfortunately that's where i'm having the problem, Finding a way to go over stunting. (So Important!) I know of maybe one cheer gym (sad) close to my area that i recall having open gyms here and there but finding a good stunt partner (you can trust) is a second part of it. I'll definitively have to ask and look around, any suggestions? I think contacting the gym owners and getting any information would be a good next step. If only private stunting classes would magically appear! : )

Aside from knowing someone who is looking for a partner, I'd still say talk to the gym. They may know of someone looking to work on stunting. Or, just drop into an open gym, introduce yourself and what you want to do and ask to work with the people already there. As long as they've got time to work on the skills they want to get, I've found most people are willing to help others learn too.

Awesome! All great ideas, thanks!
I'm going to check into the gym i'm starting my privates at! I also just researched and discovered another gym not that far away from me and i'm going to check them out too. Wish me luck : )
