Your Stunting score can be a bigger part of your Tryout Score as you go on to High school, all-star, and/or college cheerleading. Here are some basic tips to help your stunting score:

1.) Hit it - Really concentrate on hitting your stunt, because if you don't then you will have big deductions.

2.) Solid over difficulty - Do stunts that you hit solid, rather than trying difficult stunts that are really shaky OR are difficult to hit. In most cases you will get a better score on the solid stunt that is less difficult.

3.) Technique - Make sure you are doing the stunt correctly. Things like having your chest up, toes pointed, legs straight, etc. will NOT only make the stunt hit easier BUT will also get you a higher technical score.

4.) Control - Make sure your stunt is controlled. You can control your stunt (make less shaky) by squeezing and Not over-doing your movements (like pulling too hard). It will make the stunt look better, and give you a better chance for the stunt to hit.

5.) Dismount - You dismount is also part of your stunt. Instead of throwing a cradle, try adding a tuck out cradle, toe touch cradle, OR even a fulldown as long as it's solid. This will add more to your stunt and set you apart.

6.) Add difficulty - If you can try to add difficulty to a stunt. Instead of doing a ground up liberty, try to full it up and so forth.

7.) Finish - Finish and hold your landing solid. It will make the stunt look more complete if the finish is good.
