You have to make sure you have a really good roundoff. If you have. Really high rebound doing a back handspring will be much easier. So after you have a good roundoff with. High rebound then get a spotter and have them spot you for a back handspring. You want to do your roundoff and jump back not up and keep your legs straight. You don't want to land in the same spot you started you want to land a lot farther back. The more power you have the less the spotter will need to spot you and eventually you will get your back handspring by yourself!! Good luck!

Back handsprings are a level 3 skill, and back tucks are level 5. So let your coaches know you want to move up.
To answer your question, it depends what cheer leading program you are deciding to attend. School's cheer leading, seems to only expect good jumps and maybe to throw a good back handspring, don't forget to have A LOT of spirit for your school! Any other gymnastics/cheer organization, I can't really say because I don't know all the expectations but I'll rank them if you know what "level" this place expects: level1: jumps, cartwheels, and small stunts and beginning tumbling. level2: level1+more advanced stunts and higher quality performance. possibly splits. level3: level1&2+a back handspring or back walkover. level4:level1,2&3 and a back tuck and maybe a front hand spring (NOTE=all on ground). level5: all the levels but more advanced stunts with more complex tumbling
Well, locomotion means the act or power of moving from place to place, so maybe doing a handstand with out walking would be one, or splits would be another for locomotor. Non locomotor would be doing a back tuck on floor, also round off back handspring, and doing fly- aways on bars, so things you run or flip.
