You were put on that team for a reason, even if you are missing those 2 skills. You may have stunting abilities that your teammates don't have, or be needed for a certain position. If you can't do these skills (and want them), get to open gym or a tumbling class and keep working them. Also, focus on making your choreographed passes as technically clean as you can make them. Don't worry about what your teammates have versus you, just focus on getting your skills clean and learning new ones.

@WinstonsGirl gave the perfect advice. You're on the team for a reason. You're on the team because you bring something else to the table, or you're from a small gym and you were the best person for the team. I tell people all the time to always be hungry for more. Work hard this year so that you aren't nervous or scared of tryouts next year, who knows, maybe you'll even make 4. I've seen crazier things happen!

Agree with first poster. Condition hard, get into classes and if you can afford it privates, and take advantage of open gyms. Work on your skills. Listen hard, be respectful in practice and do your best. The skills will come and you were put there for a reason. Work hard and have fun.

Would you mind sharing with us your position in stunts? Are you by chance a backspot?
