Moving from the back

Are you ever tired of always getting put in the back! Well here are some ways to move up to the front in the spotlight:
1.) Show your Confidence - If you are confident, are able to make noise, and can hit the crowd effectively then that might show the coach that you should be in front.
2.) Have Patience - Sometimes you have to wait your turn and let the girls/guys that have been there longer have their chance in the spotlight. You'll get your chance.
3.) Improve your Skills - Your skill level will make a BIG impact on where you are placed. Tumbling, motions, dance, stunting, basket tosses, pyramids, etc. are all important and here are some quick tips to help improve them:
a.tumbling - Take some classes to improve your tumbling skills
b.motions - Work on your motions in a mirror. Make sure they are stiff and on point.
c.dance - Take dance classes to get more dancing experience.
d.stunts - Fliers need to work on staying tight and bases need to be able to squeeze and hit the stunt solid.
e.baskets - Don't be hesitant to throw or fly. Understand the technique and apply it to your toss.
f.pyramids - Bases need to be solid underneath (no complaining). Fliers need to be able to stay tight and NOt place so much weight onto other parts of the pyramid.
4.) Have a Good Attitude - If you have a good attitude, are punctual, and willing to try anything then this will have a positive effect on the coach.
5.) Talk to the coach - Ask the coach about what they are looking for and they will hopefully be able to point you in the correct direction.
