NJ cheerleading can be a momentous task if have never tried it before. You will tend to be nervous all the time, something that can have negative impacts on how you perform on the actual day of try-outs. The following are tips that will come in handy for you especially for competitive cheerleading.

Make sure that you have talked to the coach before try-outs. This is important because it is the coach who understands what is good for the team. Prior preparation, and not waiting to the actual day of try-outs, is very important. It can be weeks before you are ready for the occasion. Know all the requirements in advance before the actual day.

Another important thing would be to talk to your other fellow cheerleaders. If you feel nervous, you will realize that it is not just you alone but most of other cheerleaders as well. From fellow cheerleaders, try to get a friend with whom you can work. This way, both of you will be kept motivated. Also, you will have already known someone at try-outs. This is important in calming your nerves.

The week of practice is very important. This is a time during which squads have the time to train ahead of the try-outs. This is also the time when the trainer will drill everyone about what they need to do during try-outs. At this juncture, your coach also evaluates how nice you work with other people. Use the sessions to make friends and work hard with them.

During the practice sessions, you have to have self-confidence. It does not matter that you certainly are the best within the pack. Your attitude and sportsmanship will be very instrumental in ensuring your success in the try-outs. You should also be open and be in a position to try new things. You could think that you are giving your best but the gaffer thinks you would be better in doing another thing. Experiment with new things.

Now is the day of try-outs. Make sure you have had sufficient sleep time to give you the energy you require to impress the judges. Put on clothes that fit. If you wear oversized shirts, it becomes difficult to see motions. It is also important to be comfortable in whatever outfit you have worn. There is nothing worse than having to tug at your clothing in the course of cheering.

Before being called to perform, take some three deep breaths. Believe that you can do this and tell that to your self. This way, you are preparing yourself mentally ahead of the task at hand. When entering the floor, be as enthusiastic as possible. You should let the judges know that you can perform. Try to smile naturally. If you fake it, judges can easily detect it. You want judges to know that you are having real fun.

Loud and clear voice is of great importance in the actual NJ cheerleading championship. Refrain from chopping or signing your words. They need to be sharp and clear. Make a point to pronounce the Ts and Rs clearly. When performing, use expressions. This way, you will not sound like a robot. Neither the judges nor the audience love monotone voice. Fell free to ask anything if the judges are not clear.
