      These are all great tips. Up and coming cheerleaders have so many opportunities and should take full advantage of them. I would suggest that anyone who is trying out for a college cheerleading team (scholarship or otherwise) hire a cheerleading consultant to help them put there best foot forward… Good Luck!!!!
