You have very nice height on your toe touch! Just remember to point your toes and keep your chest and chin up. It will make you look more confident and cleaner. When you come down from your toe touch, you bend your legs instead of snapping them straight together. You are frogging your legs! Make sure they are straight!
Your roundoff also looks very nice! Sure, it could use improvement but you have the basics! Don't say you can't do a roundoff because you most definitely can! When you go to place your hands down, reach as far as you can and keep your arms by your ears. When you place your hands turn your left hand in. this will help you rotate your body and snap down. Once again, make are to keep your legs straight and snap them down! You are bending and frogging your legs which doesn't look as pretty.
Considering your tryouts are in August, you have plenty of time to improve yourself and I believe you can! Just be confident, tight, sharp, and smile! :D
Your toe touch is actually good. You just have to point your toes, don't bend your legs right after you hit your toe touch, and stretch your straddle so it can be even better. Your round off isn't that bad. Just remember to not bend your legs when you're doing it.
Other than that, good luck! I hope you make it!
My tablet won't let me watch your videos for whatever reason,lol, but you r right, just keep practicing! Practice your round offs by doing cartwheels and snapping your feet together in the air and landing with them together. It even helps if you start by doing standing round offs too. And for your toe touch, just remember to point your toes and stretch your straddle splits! Good luck I hope you make it ;)

Okay so I used to be the co captain for my 7th grade cheer squad before I moved.
I moved to a huge school let's just say a year ago. And I haven't done cheer since.
I really want to be a cheerleader again, honestly I'm under so much stress about it.
Try-outs are in August.
I'm taking classes for tumbling but I can't even do a round off, and it's embarrassing.
I practice my toe touch every day and same with my round off.
This is my toe touch:

I know, It's terrible but that's why I'm here.
Please give me tips, I'm so dedicated and cheer means EVERYTHING to me.
Although it's just JV I want, this school is very very very VERY good at cheer, and I want to be on the squad so bad :'(
