I was wondering what the requirements are because the other day I was asked to try out for team and I want to know what skills I should work on. Thanks!

You don't need all of them And some of them are ILLEGAL at your level anyways... like you can't do a salto on floor... so front tucks and back tucks are out.
Good luck.
