Increase your Tumbling Score at Tryouts

Your Tumbling score will make a BIG difference at your tryouts. Here are some tips to increase your tumbling score:
1.) Do something - Always try something even if you don't have any tumbling. At most you can do a forward roll. A carwheel or a round off to splits (or toe touch) will get you some points. If spotters are allowed,...take advantage of them.
2.) Be able to do it - The 1st reason is safety. The 2nd is that you will get more points for hitting a less difficult skill solid rather trying a slightly more difficult and falling.
3.) Form - Remembering things like keeping your toes pointed, legs together, and other technical issues will score you a point or 2 higher.
4.) Stick the landing - Stick your landing by squeezing it at the end and holding. This will help you get a perfect score.
5.) Difficulty - Add more to your tumbling to set yourself apart from everyone else. Yes throwing a more difficult skill will score you higher, but you can also add simple skills to add more difficulty. (For example instead of throwing a backtuck, try throwing a toe touch backtuck.)
