With a new year coming soon, many cheerleaders are stressing about the next step: tryouts. Tryouts usually take place over a period of a few days. During this time, athletes will be evaluated on numerous grounds. Things taken into consideration will be jumps, tumbling, dancing, and stunting. In order to prepare for this, some athletes spend hundreds of dollars.
While High School and All Star tryouts are one thing, college tryouts are totally different. Appearance is taken into consideration. They are looking for the entire package, from the look to the skills. One of my friends who is trying out for her college's team next weekend has spent the last month dieting and tanning just to keep herself in good standing with the school.
Regardless of your placement on the team, the most important aspect of tryouts is to work hard and be yourself. If you pretend to be something you are not it will shine through and will reflect you poorly on your scoresheet!
