get your legs and arms stronger so you can do really good strong toe touches and high kicks and high v’s and stuff 🙂
annnd
stretch a lot. that way you’ll become much more flexible! 🙂
GOOD LUCK.
STRETCH!! stretching helps your jumps tumbling, and endurance
tight motions will make you stand out and facials in your dance
make sure you hair and makeup is neat because it gives of a good first impression
to make your jumps higher do leg kicks with weights on
good luck!
You can work on stretching for flexibility and exercising for strength and endurance. You can also work on jumps, motions, and tumbling drills. (All of which can be found here: http://aescougarcheer.com/Cheer101/basics.htm )
Good luck!
as for moves:
1) you need to learn the dance (if you have to learn one). flat out. the best dancers usually make the best cheerleaders. dances arent that hard as long as you have precise movements and youre on beat.
2) learn the basic arm positions… aka: high V, low V, T, broken T, i call it a football punch but its when you have your one fist on your hip and the other one is straight up in the air and your elbow is by your ear. those are the ones they will probably have you learn anyhow.
3) and as for jumps, youve gotta nail your toe touch. the other jumps are kind of like icing on the cake because in cheerleading, you dont use many other jumps but the toe touch. btw, its the hardest. youve got to STRETCH a lottt.
along the lines of getting “fit,” you just need to stretch a bunchh and take a jog every once in a while. or take like an hour long walk. it doesnt take much. butttt if youre gonna be a base (in stunts) then you might wanna start lifting a bit now. it will help you later when doing them.
good luck! 🙂
p.s. remember: SMILE! 😀
