You and a bunch of other girls I bet! It sounds like your school has an "all purpose" squad where you cheer at games, perform during half times, compete etc. But congratulations on winning your spot on the squad--you must've done very well!

For my tryouts last year we had a week to practice a pom routine, cheer, jumps, and tumbiling and it was all required and hard. Luckly I made varsity let alone captain! Now this year Im the one teaching the things to the new girls for their tryouts since im a senior. I really wish that tumbiling wasn't required.

Whether or not your school will require tumbling/stunting often times depends on the coaching qualifications of the coach, the sports you're cheering for and whether or not you go to competition.

At my high school, tumbling was not required on the try out score sheet but you got extra points. But with that said, you pretty much had to be able to do some tumbling in order to get on the squad because it was so competitive.

Really?? For my HS tryouts, we had a dance, fight song, three jumps, a cheer, three chants, and of course, the interview. We weren't required to do any tumbling, but if we did, you would get more points on our tryout sheets
