The girl with the half-up hair (in the front to the right of the girl in the leggings) looks amazing during the cheer. She does sharp, clean motions that she makes look almost...regal? Idk, I couldn’t stop watching her during the cheer - I hope she made it!
The stunts that we do in the season are much more difficult than the one's that we do at tryouts. We're just looking for technique at tryouts. Check out my other videos and gameday vlogs to see our pyramids!
Some people sound dumb... why wouldn't you have the tryout starting with the basics?? Like I'm confused. Tryout meaning they aren't on the team yet or am I trippin?
Exactly ! And some coaches wanna be safe , and some people don’t know how to do much that’s why it’s called tryouts where your trying . And the coaches don’t know what all of them are capable of.
Reign Hayes it’s called a pop off. The bases catch the flyers thighs and the back spot catches at the waist while the flyer grabs the back spots wrists. It can be dangerous if the flyer comes down too hard or too fast but they can sometimes look cleaner.
Its cleaner and easier/quicker than a normal cradle. They do it normally in college & highschool competitive because of them needing to get out of stunts quick to get back into whatever cheer/chant they’re in.
Love your videos Jess! Sending you love from the ATX!! I have a junior and senior that I am/was hoping would consider Xavier. My senior is headed to GSU! Hope you stay there and hire on at the university as staff (if your degree lines up with any open positions there) with XAVIER as well as stay there to coach! You are such an positive influence for these girls! Keep up the great work! Wishing you all the best! You will be missed!
ml j The middle school cheer I do is nothing like that... and neither are the other teams we go against. They did well but maybe it’s more high school stuff if you would compare it to something. They’re also only in tryouts and will probably lead more involved stuff over time.
I made my Highschools Varsity Cheer (We only have a Varsity Cheer Squad because not many girls try out for JV), so it’s really hard to make it. I didn’t make it last year. I MADE IT THIS YEAR THOUGH!!!! Do you have tips on getting toe touches and planks higher?
Toe touches are ALL in the hip rotation. As a male cheerleader with very little flexibility I make up for my toe touches with my hip strength! Just really try and sit into it, height isn’t always key!
I cheer for my highschool and college and there was one thing that really helped my toe touches. Get 5 pound ankle weights and do 20 jumps with them on. You won’t feel you’re doing anything, but once you take them off your legs just explode.
i used to be a gymnast and now i cheer, so i had somewhat of an advantage with jumps/ training jumps going into cheer, my tip to you is to try practicing jumps with ankle weights (nothing too heavy maybe just 2-3 lbs or so). also work on your splits (left right and espically middle). other than that just stretch regularly and keep practicing. good luck and congrats:)
I was a JV cheerleader in 9th grade, and a varsity cheerleader every year after that until I graduated high school, but I could never be in college cheer. Our school was small and we didn't do competitive cheer so we didn't have to do all that conditioning and didn't have to know how to dance or tumble. Tumbling and dancing were optional, and the hardest things we needed to know how to do were toe touches and high kicks. 😂
Kaitlyn Velasco yeah that’s weird that some people didn’t know that. At my middle school the team’s nationals routine had some girls doing layouts and fulls during the routine and the requirement is roudoff-BHS-back combo
Kaitlyn Velasco - Many college cheer teams put more focus on stunts than tumbling! Also, depending on the size and culture of the school, there may or may not be a very big pool of people (thus talent) to choose from. I know my school (college) doesn’t even have a cheer team at all, since it’s small and no one really cares about sports here, but if we did we certainly wouldn’t have the numbers to require tumbling skills 😂😂
Deanna Casa I believe that you will have a wonderful chance. Please remember that there is more that factors into cheer than tumbling and flexibility, but those two things will serve as advantages. Also remember that you must be very sharp and loud. If you can do that I think that you will be just fine. I wish you the best of luck!
Ive been thinking about trying out this eason but im afraid I will spend a lot of money on it and won't like it.. Also how much is cheer camp and do you have to go?? Any advice??
Some schools prefer a sharp clap, but mostly elbows together. My school says it shows how sharp you can be if you have a good clap with elbows apart, and it's easier and cleaner to get to other motions with elbows apart.
Why a pop off ?? Bumps are way easier to do from all of those stunts then a pop off and let alone the people who were doing the demos didn’t have a great form. You need to squeeze in a pop off and what it looked like is that you didn’t even squeeze in your pop off like yes they throw you in the air but that doesn’t mean you just have to grab your backs wrist like no that’s not how that works.
omg such bad form. I was cringing and scared for them the whole time lol. there shouldn't be anyone in front of the flyers and the bump downs were poorly executed.

Omg I swear every cheer video I watch the whole comment section is filled with know-it-all’s that think they are better than everyone else
righttt every school different

Savannah u call that sharp?😂
¿ d a y d r e a m ? do you feel better about yourself now?
Soo I also had cheer tryout for high school on Thursday and I made the team !!!!!!!
Sherleen Martinez I just had a tryout for my school yesterday and I made it😱😱😱
Sherleen Martinez Congrats
GOOD JOB HONEY! ❤️
Good job! I made my team too! 🤗 I wish you the best and I hope you are having a good day/night. 🙂💕
Thank you sweetie thats sweet I hope you are the best cheerleader out there! Have a good day or night!😊❤️
I wish I could be a cheerleader in college but idk if I’ll get in! :(

What kinda cradle is that?! That looks super odd and kinda dangerous, omg way to go on that conditioning though that looked insanely hard 😱😄

it kinda looks sloppy to me, because they don’t always land in the middle. just my opinion
laven wadlow when its done correctly and with the right technique its very pretty. go look up competitive collegiate level teams you’ll see it a lot
Yeah usually for pop offs it looks way better (and it’s way easier on the bases and backspot) if the flyer leans back more and squeezes harder!
The music was DEFINENTLY on point
Hello Jessica! I was wondering if you could make a video about preparing for a college cheer tryout?
In your libs, it helps if you connect your left foot to the side of your right leg. It looks cleaner and helps maintain balance
Love your videos Jess! Sending you love from the ATX!! I have a junior and senior that I am/was hoping would consider Xavier. My senior is headed to GSU!

I've never seen a college try out do middle school level stuff. Does Xavier actually compete or do they just do sideline/halftime stuff?

Try standing on your tippy toes when getting ready to do the jump it will make the jump look higher

this is college cheer but some cant do roundoff back handspring and thats like middle school level ????

either way why have a cheer team if thats their high level and there stunts are trash too no offense
Kaitlyn Velasco key word is "tryouts"
Learn to read its called "tryouts" PEOPLE ARE TRYING OUT!! the people are not on the team they're trying out.
What is the mash-up song called!?😍😍
Was that armon and trey singing in the back during conditioning
The conditioning reminds me of my HS cheer team
I’m subscribed because of you Cheer videos 🎀! I have 9 more day till my tryouts and I’m so nervous 😬
Shontishaye I didn’t make it but maybe next year 🙂 thanks
Mariary 1113 it’s ok I didn’t make the team at my school either
Everyone is a critic and expert. The ladies did fine
do yhu have to know how to tumble in order to be on a college cheer team?
I never did cheer. I did gymnastics all my life. Do you think trying out is even an option for me? Please be as honest as possible!
Deanna Casa I believe that you will have a wonderful chance. Please remember that there is more that factors into cheer than tumbling and flexibility, but those two things will serve as advantages.

Ive been thinking about trying out this eason but im afraid I will spend a lot of money on it and won't like it.. Also how much is cheer camp and do you have to go?? Any advice??
hey, girl! I'm from Louisiana too! I subscribed :)
what song did you guys use in your dance?
how can they not do an extention this is college?
It’s the 2 mats for me
I have cheered for 5 yrs and i love it but some of their technique is not great but some girl got it
ok I wanna go to xula and cheer but the only bad thing is I cannot tumble 😔
If I was in college I could make the team it seems kinda easy honestly cause rn I'm in middle school cheerleading
Do you know any ways I can be a better flyer?
THIS IS SO DIFFERENT FROM ALL STAR! 💫
I’m a cheerleader myself but are tryouts are not this long
The claps were rough.. there were only 2-3 girls clapping with their elbows together😬
Some schools prefer a sharp clap, but mostly elbows together. My school says it shows how sharp you can be if you have a good clap with elbows apart, and it's easier and cleaner to get to other motions with elbows apart.
Damn they are fit and fearless I'd be out of breath after that warmup and I'd be scared to have people lift me up
Why are they doing elevators they should just be doing extensions... in middle school we were doing extension twist cradle
Some of them can't Split
Aye armon and trey😱😍😍😍
Armon and trey right bc ik there voices i think
What was the practice dance song called
There was only 1 actual tumbler??
Who all made the team?
that pop looks so different from the pops my team does
I Love Cheerleaders... !!!
Im 9 yrs old and ima be cheerleading. I hope im not the captain ;-; . But my dad will tell me if I wanna be the captain or co- captain
What the hell shes not supposed to drop straight down on her feet like that
i have tryouts tomorrow😭
u the best cheeerleader out there
What’s the music
Yeah I thought the tryout stunts looked easy that’s what we do in my cheerleading classes at football games in 5th grade
can i get the words to the cheer?
How come some of them don’t hv back handsprings I’m 12 and I hv a full😂Plus the stunts were like level 2🤦🏽♀️i thought college cheer was harder...

God bless you to know him in Jesus name
I think I have been in that gym for swim
did anyone else get a really sad disney commercial about donald duck ??
Tbh it looked so easy
They should really be doing cradles
omg such bad form. I was cringing and scared for them the whole time lol. there shouldn't be anyone in front of the flyers and the bump downs were poorly executed.
Ken Genchi bmp downs did kind of make me ehh but the front base has its negatives as well as positives
Actually the people in front of the flyers are called front spots and they are there to make sure they don't fall forward so shut the f up 🙄🙄🙄
aw i was there!
Angela Arbriel did you make it?
yes ma'am
Music poppin
Y’all do a weird cradle but it’s still good
Armon and trey yasss
I love you sm Jessica
I just subbed
Why is the girl in the yellow shirt demonstrating how to stunt? She’s a terrible flyer, not tight at all!
1:35 made me die
I was the 13th person to see this
Is this Emory university in Georgia!?
Sophia J no
Does no one care that the thumbnail for the video says collage chedr trouts
I could have made that team easy and I am 13
That Wii remix tho
I see you Soror cut it up 💓
the girl with the pink bow was kind of concerning when she was stretching. she barely did a backbend, that’s below middle school level.
Traditional cheerleading could never touch stomp n shake
Ayeeeee my teacher mr. caston i miss him
My team so easy to make at my high lol. College cheer ain't for me
girl in yellow socks failedddddd
Evyonna. King
I thought college ppl where better, like really good
My little sister is a better flyer than them honestly
Lol running?
Girl bye
