ADViCE FOR A CHEER CAPTAiN ON CALLING FOOTBALL CHEERS (FOOTBALL PLAYERS AND CHEERLEADERS WANTED)?

Question

Okay, so I am captain of my JV cheer team and we have our first game next week. In the past years I have seen captains call wrong cheers (like offense when we are on defense etc) we have to do a cheer every 30 seconds so there are times in the game we really don't have much time to analyze the game. I want advice on how not to mess up the cheers I call, maybe a little tutorial on football and good website recommendations. My main goal is to make is so I won't call any wrong cheers at the football game and look like an idiot.

Answer 1

if you color has a man behind the center and another on behind him, your offense, if your D, then itll be a straight line of players

Answer 2

Just take a quick look.  You should be able to tell if your team has the ball.  If you know what number the quarter back is you could check to see if he is in or on the sidelines.  If he is in the game, then your team probably has possession of the ball.  You could also listen to the announcer.  They announce the game play by play so that should give you a pretty good idea.
