Need some great cheerleading tips? Well, I've got some for you. When you go to tryout keep in mind that the judges really pay a great deal of attention on your facial expressions, and how you deal with the skills that don't always go as you plan. To be a good cheerleader you should always be smiling, and determined to finish whatever you have started. If you are doing a stunt and it falls, just keep moving on to your next formation or your next placement in the cheer. Don't let the audience know that you have messed up by your facial expressions. If you don't make an expression, the audience may not even notice something got messed up, they might think that, that is what was supposed to happen. Well, if a stunt falls then that is obvious that it wasn't supposed to happen, but if a cheer motion got a little messed up or confused they might not even notice. You just have to keep smiling and look confident and positive. Your claps must always be clean and tight. Your voice needs to be heard in what they like to call a "man-voice." When doing drills, don't take shortcuts...you're only hurting yourself. The coaches give you the drills to do for a reason, obviously. Just remember, if you feel the burn then you know its working..
All in all, my last tip for you is to just do your own thing. Yes, the team has to do all the moves and motions the same way, at the same time.. but you have the chance to do it in your own style, and how you like to do things.
