If you're Cheerleading for a sport, not usually. It is more of a spirit cheer team than tumbling. If you're doing a competitive team, yes you will need tumbling. You will be placed in the back while the team does whatever tumbling until you get your needed skill.

i think it doesn't really matter but then i hope you like being in the back. and as long as you improve your tumbling skills through the year then you will be fine!

no, splits by themselves are not done as much in cheerleading as much as they used to be. There are some stunts that involve splits. Splits do help with flexibility though

It depends on the team. Some do and some don't. The coach should give you a list of requirements beforehand
