Is it realistic to get a back handspring spring by March if I have no tumbling experience? I mean I went to classes when I was younger but never had “anything” I need to get some kind of tumbling to better my chance at making the JV team for my freshman year. My mom is willing to hire a private coach for weekly sessions.
Why would a seemingly good cheerleader be cut from the JV team? And not picked over girls who never cheered before? This one has me stumped (not me)
Edit: going from middle school to high school.
Guyssss im trying to maximize my chance of making the JV cheer team next year in the spring. My jumps look horrible so I thought maybe I could focus on a back walkover or a back handspring to get points that way. BUT is this even possible to get done in 6 months? I’m not super flexible but I am strong. Im on the middle school cheer team and I play basketball and softball, too, so I’m conditioning 6 days out of the week already. The team doesn’t require tumbling but it is a competitive team. 3 girls who I thought were “good” on my cheer team last year did not make the JV team.
Please recommend some drills we can do to get this jump looking better.
