I want to be a cheerleader.. again?

Question

well schools starting soon and im trying out for JV (junior varsity) in about a month and i have already done cheerleading for two years when i was younger (5 years ago). Does anyone know of some specific stunts i should start working on? and does anyone know of any really good stretches? **and dont comment saying ew dont be a cheerleader.. thanks :]*

Answer 1

Where I go to school, you don't need to do a lot of flips to be on the JV Squad. Make sure you have a split all three ways down, a walkover, and round off, and if possible (not always required) a handspring. Make sure your jumps in the hair are as high as possible and you can touch your toes in the air. When you wake up in the morning put your foot against the wall and stretch your ankles out. Pretty much anything that improves leg strength will help! Good luck and I hope you make the squad!

Answer 2

you should go put this question on www.mspineapple.com. these people are expert cheerleaders and they can really help. trust me cuz im a cheerleader too and they helped me a lot. be a cheerleader again, yay! :0)

Answer 3

Answer 4

EWW dont be a cheerleader.

and strech everymorning when you wake up.

Answer 5

sorry, but gymnasts are cooler. Anyway warm up your back a lot and hold bridges- back flexibility is very important for tumbling. Also work splits and run- so you have endurance for your cheer routines.

Answer 6

I have been a cheerleader for about 7 years now.

some good stretches is definitely wall stretches, lunges, sit ups, push ups,  handstands againsts walls.

it will all help you in some way

practice your splits and toe touches. you want them to get better before tryouts.

cheerleading is a great sport.

have fun with it
