There are as many different standards to get into poms teams as there are poms teams. Some schools have teams that will take any student who tries out and is willing to do the hard work, while other teams will only take those with many years of tumbling or gymnastics background.

By the sounds of your list of skills you are both flexible and willing to try new things so I'd say you have a fair chance. Have a chat to the teacher in charge and find out what type of skills are required. Go along and give the try outs a go. If you get in thats awesome, if you dont get in thats awesome too because it means your school will have a great high standard team if they are asking for a higher standard of skills. You are only a freshman and will have plenty of chance to make the team. If you dont get in why not sign up for some tumbling or gymnastics classes this year and build your skills and give it another go next year.
