Women Gymnast Trying Out For Cheer

[JustAGirlWhoLovesGym]

Hi! I'm a gymnast, and gymnastics is basically the only sport I have ever done. I really want to try out for my school's cheer team for next year (the try-outs are in the first week of May), but I am wondering how to compensate for my lack of stunting experience? My school's cheer team is fairly competitive, so the expectation going into tryouts is that you are already prepared to demonstrate stunts. Has anyone been successful in this situation? What do you recommend doing? There is a cheer gym near me where I could take some stunting classes prior to tryouts, but is there anything else I can do to prepare myself to the best of my abilities?

I would go ahead and take those classes and if you're friendly with anyone on the team ask if they have advice or maybe even some time to give you some help.
