Cheerleading Flyer: Ankle Strengthening Exercises?

I'm trying out for All-Star cheer for the first time at the end of April. I really want to be a flyer. I can do everything but a bow and arrow but I'm really close to getting it (I'll have it by tryouts). I have decent balance, but it could improve. My questions are:

1. I stand on one foot and jump in a square 10 times and then switch feet, jump rope, and use a flyer balance board to help strengthen my ankles. What other exercises can I do?

2. Would a newbie All-Star cheerleader even get the chance to fly, or do they use the experienced All-Star cheerleaders? I've been a flyer for about 3 years.

my coach told me to stand with one foot on a soup can! i dont cheer for all-star but if you are good then i think they would let you fly!
