text: i want to become a cheerleader, right now i do tumbling and trampoline, what are the requirements for highscho ol cheerleading? any advice about cheerleading also? my daughter was a high school cheerleader for 3 yrs. her freshman year, this was her dream. one thing she always said throughout the years of cheerleading is how fit she had to stay to be a flyer. you don't have to have requirements. you just need to show them your willingness and confidence! ultimately, it's the coach's decision, but it's captain and asst. captain that confirm the coach's decision.
