So my school has a gymnastics team that meets Mon.-Fri. for about either an hour and a half to two hours. I plan on trying out and I would be in heaven if I made it on. Theres only one problem .. they only take 20 kids. Last year about 8 girls were cut. From what I heard it was only because they were cheerleaders and they were only good at floor not bars beam and vault. Some of them also just recently started and were not as skilled as the other girls. The problem is that this year there are going to be about 35-40(maybe) girls who are trying out. About 15 maybe more are on team and compete level 5,6,7 or USAIGC bronze or silver. I would need a bunch of skills to catch up to these girls. So my main question is how to impress a coach at tryouts and make myself stand out? Any general try out tips or advice? Whats it like to be on a school team? Is there any way to get good and fast? I going to take a couple of privates here and there at a different gym (stuggling with a coach from Russia, he gets frustrated easily and I have trouble understaning him)and see how it goes. I just really want this opportunity!!
