Answer 1

CHEERLEADERS are retarted Be a SOFTBALL player girl youll go farther in life

Answer 2

Awww but gymnastics is fun! And is essential to learn good cheer-leading moves like Round-off back-tuck or back-handsprings.

But I guess if you're starting new, I'd suggest you to stick with basic arm and leg movements. I'm sure theres a cheerleading sqaud at your school who would be happy to help you out, otherwise you can always find good tips on youtube.

Hope that helps =]

Answer 3

To be a cheerleader, you will need to learn some tumbling skills... roundoffs, back handsprings, back tucks, etc.  And the only way to learn those skills safely and correctly is to take a tumbling class.  

But don't confuse tumbling with gymnastics. Gymnastics does include tumbling, but it also includes bars, beam and vault.  If your goal is to be a cheerleader, then you don't need a gymnastics class.  You just need a tumbling class.

Most gymnastics clubs offer tumbling classes... and most of the girls in those classes are cheerleaders (or plan to be cheerleaders).  You can also take tumbling and jump classes at a cheer club, if there's one near you.  But either way, you need some training.  Cheerleading is very popular and competitive these days, and if you want to make a cheer team, you will need those tumbling skills.

Answer 4

well then you cant. to be a cheerleader you need to have good jumps (flexibility) which you get from gymnastics and MOST importantly tumbling which IS gymnastics. sorry hun if you dont like gymnastics cheer isnt for you!
