I was a cheerleader for six years of my middle school and high school career. Good cheerleaders should know all the right techniques. Tumbling, stunts, and learning cheers are big roles, but that is not what it is all about. Yes, cheerleading is an unsafe sport, but it is not as bad as people make it out to be. The true requirements for cheerleading are determination and practice. That is the only way you will succeed at tryouts. First, work on character. It starts with listening skills and determination. Set goals and make time to learn all the cheers and chants. Knowing what it takes is very important. Know what positions are held also, where to stand. Practice stiffness and sharp moves. When making a V hit or Y hit. Second is flexibility.
