Start with a hot shower, to calm your muscles and wake you up. And of course, make sure you are squeaky clean. Be sure that you are relaxed and refreshed after your shower.
Blow dry your hair and pull it back into a high ponytail, pin back any stray hairs, so that they are out of your face. Use hairspray to keep your hair from falling down, but don't use too much- you don't want your hair to have that "crunchy" look. Wear a ribbon in your hair for added effect. It may help to have someone tie it for you, otherwise it could come undone.
Wear your school colors so that the coaches know that you are true to your school.
Wear a clean shirt that is patriotic to your school. You should wear clean shorts. You may want to wear spandex underneath your shorts to avoid showing your underwear when stretching, jumping, or pulling a heel stretch, scorpion, or scale.
Wear white socks and clean white cheer shoes on your feet. If you don't have cheer shoes, coaches recommend wearing shoes that are flat on the bottom and not too bulky.
Don't overdo your make-up considering you will sweat it off. Your usual foundation and lip gloss will be fine. Your smile will truly shine with lip gloss.
Put on deodorant or antiperspirant!
Skip jewelry (earrings and everything) and nail polish (unless you use clear basic shine nail polish).
Wear something that is comfortable, and something you can move easily in. Don't wear a heavy coat or a sweater; you will sweat (a lot)!
