When you decide that you want to do cheerleading you have to know how to do jumps like a toe touch a Herkie and a spike because those are some of the jumps they do in cheerleading but it is not that hard when you get in it.	Also when you start doing cheerleading you need to know how to respect people because you are going to be around a lot of people and also you have to keep your grades up and don't get any referrals or anything.
Well when I was in cheerleading when we got our progress or report cards we had to make a copy of it and give it to them and make at least a 2.5 or higher. Lastly you have to be strong enough to be able to hold somebody up in the stunts that the coaches make.
