    Well yes it is VERY helpful if you have your toe touch down by the time to try out for varsity cheer but if you want you can ask your friend to help you with your toe touch so that you can be really good at them! Just stretch a ton and jump super high!

    The coach will most likely let everyone know at a meeting or at tryouts if there are any absolute requirements (i.e. "We won't accept anyone on Varsity without a toe touch"). Most programs do an overall tryout score and take the highest scoring athletes, and therefore if you excel in another area - like tumbling or motions - you may still score high enough overall to make the team (even with low jump scores).

    Well, varsity cheer if tough...well at least it is were I live. You should probably have a decent toe touch, nobody has a perfect toe touch unless you have an extended split, which many people can't get very easily! It would probably be best if you have a toe touch! Hope this answers your question!

    Most of the time you do have to be able to do a toe touch to make varsity. But if you cheer really well they may sometimes make an exception
