well lets see im thinking of trying out for pep squad @ my school because people told me i should and i could be a good cheerleader but like im scared of trying out because this would be my first time trying out for anything..

questions ...
1) if you were/have been(before) scared to trying out for something what did you do to make yourself feel more comfortable w/ trying out ..

Cheerleadin's fun I was nervous when I tried out but I just concentrated on my routine and tried not to worry good luck

Eh, I know how you feel. I really wanted to try out to cheerleading, but I was too chicken; same with SING! But I guess I tried out for track

Well, it wasn't as much a tryout as it was an interview, but I was still super nervous! What I did was take a deep breath before it was my turn and just did what was true to myself. Do your best, that's all anyone can ask for. I'm sure you'll rock though, so go for it!

This is my first time trying out for something, and I'm trying out for Badminton.

yeah, it's natural :]
i know cuz when i tried out for tennis, the coaches would be like standing RIGHT BESIDE you and i couldn't concentrate.

ehh, good luck anyhow, im sure you'll do fine

well since my skool is white, the thing that always thinks imma make is it "im black, they haveta let me in or they will think its racist"

bad reason but hey, I havent been cut in NE thin yet

I never tried out for anything, but good luck with yours. :] Just have confidence in yourself.

no one is going to look at you except for the judges... at least that was how it was at my school.
wow i never knew that cheerleading is called pep squad too.
well... just concentrate on your routine, you'll get through.

DO IT!
lol
i have been scared to try new stuff but in the end it wasn't so bad. i think u'd do a good

hehe thanks =) .. ive cheered before its just i never had to try out ... iono i probly will try out i guess its just kinda scary being in front of the cheer coach or w/e

You can do it. We're rooting on you. :] Just smile and have fun anyway.

I haven't tried out for anything before... but you just have to have some confidence! You can do it..


Good luck, btw! :D

I know this is totally cliche, but just relax. Just go in there with the mindset that you know you can do it and just concentrate on the cheer/dance that you're doing. Good luck, let us know how it goes!

I've never tried out for anything before. I think i know how it feels though. Next year im going to try out for tennis (:

When you try out, just smile the whole time. And be sure to know ur routine, keep going over and over it. But you'll do fine! just keep smiling and try to be confident in front of the judges. They mostly look for spirit, and if you can learn a routine and are tight with your moves. I'm sure u'll do fine

ooh sounds fun...but yeah tryouts are nerve-wracking for me, especially choir auditions. bleh. but yeah...i just tried to get un-nervous by laughing with my friends or something.

and are these tryouts for the football season next year? my tryouts are in april. for basketball we had them in october though..

anyway you have to be confident! and smile a LOT. make sure you stretch a lot before tryouts to be really flexible and have super high jumps.

Absolutely try out! Just be confident in yourself, and if you don't make it, there's always next year! Both last year and this year, trying out for cheerleading was scary, but I had my friends' support!

well this year is the first year we are allowed to try out for anything other than choir....I'm trying out for dance team & volleyball =0 good luck!!!! I'm nervous lol....

i'm not even sure what teh pep club is

get somebody to try out with you, like a friend =]

just go and try out. what bad can happen?

anyways, i was sorta nervous to join the badminton team. cuz i didnt know much about it, but i know i would have fun playing it. so i just said what the heck and joined it. now after 3 years, i'm one of thebest players on the team =]

OOHH!! I made the cheerleading team at my school!! I was nervous when I tried out too.. Try laughing and having fun with friends before tryouts and practice your routine while doing that. We had to elevate a girl, do a precision cheer and do a cheer cheer for try outs and like when the bases were elevating the girl, the right base messed up half-way through and dropped her kinda, (i was back base) and like I half caught her.. AND I like stopped in the middle of a cheer we had to do.. BUT I still made the team

yaa some of my friends are trying out with me ... hopefully i make it .... im hoping but i have a while cuz tryouts arent till march? soo ya

Take a deep breath. and Just Do It

I tried for winterguard at my school, it's kinda like colorguard execept its inside and its for girls AND GUYS. I was so scared, but I ended up making it 4 out of 20. I was so happy, so Toya you should do it. Good Luck!

i just pretended to be confident, and naturally, i felt a bit more confident.

Yeap, same here.
Iwas never as hell and I kept stuttering on my words. That sucked.
Just take deep breaths and remember what you're going for. Don't let others distract you, keep a staraight mind.
Good luck! ;)

pretend no one else is there. always be positive, never say omg i sucked. always say something like i should be able to do better next time or something like that. coaches don't like negative attitudes

i don't know. give it your all and hope to not get cut, really.

actually i dont think my school has a cheerleading team...if they do i haven't heard about it. but we have a gymnastics team. yeaahh. im not flexible enough for that

my friend kirsten is trying out for the JV cheerleading squad. I hope she did alright. Alot of people at my school tease her. They say that she cant make it and stuff. I feel bad for her. I and two other people believe that she can make it. I hope she did. her tryouts were today

i ate lots of food...thats my answer to everything

haha oh wow me too.

just be confident and be sure you know your rutine really well and smile. relax you'll do awesome. best of luck!

I tried out for the school talent show..
I didnt care. but all the teachers were watching me

confession time:

i, sidney olivia was once a.....*gulp* cheerleader. oh it's true.

but i didn't have to try out i was immediately put on the team.

I do compitive cheerleading and to place us on teams we learn a cheer and dance. When it comes to tryout I watch myself and don't worryabout the others, since we tryout by with 2 other girls. If you tryout by yourself, concentrate on what your doind, not if you will make it or not !!! You probably already tried outbut Good Luck or Great Job no matter what happened !!!!!!! Be Strong about it !!!!!!
