Tumbling (See Video Link Below "Gymnastics & Tumbling: How to do a Round Off") A round off will be our most basic tumbling skill for the competition squad. Please show your round off during tryouts. We perform these with a hurdle (not the lunge shown in the video) for more power/movement on the mats. If you have more advanced tumbling skills (Without a spotter) please show these as well during tryouts. Splits and ground rolls are not necessary to perform.
Spirit (See Video Link Below "How to Step Up Your Cheerleading Spirit") This video has tips on how to spirit in transitions between the cheer, jumps, and tumbling on tryout day. Judges will be looking for excitement, smiles, and confidence. Saying phrases like "Let's go Big Blue!" "Go Titans!" are great ideas.
