Do you know anyone that is currently on the squad? If so, ask them what the tryouts are like. I tried out for cheerleading for two different places and it was different each time. The first time, it was actually like going to cheerleading practice for a week and then they decided based on how you did during that week. The second time, I had to perform a cheer and certain moves for the tryouts. So, the best thing you can do is ask someone that’s already on the squad or see if you can talk to whoever is running the tryouts to get more information.
