For Echols cheer tryouts, girls will have a 3-day clinic where they learn a dance, 2 cheers, and work on jumps and tumbling. They will perform a toe touch and an optional jump, either a hurdler or a herkie. There is no tumbling requirement, but girls can perform a tumbling skill for bonus points. If you have a standing back handspring you should be fine. Other skills girls commonly do are round off back handspring or round off back handspring back tuck.
