What To Expect In High School Cheer

[Jayjay1301]

Hi!
I'm a boy who's trying out for cheer next year and I'm wondering what to expect during tryouts, games, competitions, and what tumbling skills I need.
Thanks so much!

It will vary widely depending on your school. See if there is a scoresheet posted on your school's website or if it says how the tryout will be scored in their cheer constitution. You can also talk to the current coach to get some more information about what will be expected of you at tryouts. Everyone has different requirements for tumbling/skills.

Just depends on the high school you go to!

I'm a guy to, hated sideline dances, I really only did it to be on a comp team! Lol I didn't do all stars till I graduated , I had fun though!

A lot of the guys I know wear Nike Frees in white.

Nike Free 4.0 Flyknit - Men's - Running - Shoes - White/Black/Wolf Grey

ETA: Obviously they're not cheer shoes, but I actually coed stunt in them and they are weightless and feel very similar to regular cheer sneakers.

Basically for school cheering, you want to have the basics. Tight, properly placed motions, yell loud and low and DO NOT sing the words. Stunting and tumbling depends on the school. My school has no tumbling requirements for either JV or Varsity. For stunting, varsity has to be able to do extended stunts and be at least working extended libs. Just have fun!

My daughter is on a coed team at High School. Our boys participate for sideline and for our competition team. They don't always do much when our cheerleaders perform for half time (usually dances). Are there boys on the current team? Talk with them. I know our boys are always willing to talk with others about what they do and what they like about cheer. Also - talk with the coach and see what is expected. Find out if your team competes, or only does sideline. Go watch them perform or sit in on a practice. Every teams is going to be different Good luck!
