    ankle weights.
    they might hurt at first, so go easy in the beggining. do all the basic jumps, (toe touch, pike, herky, front hurtdeler) with them on. and do some yoga. look up yoga poses to help strengthen your ankels, the “palm tree” works wonders.
    hope this helped. i”m a cheerleader and have sprained my ankle 3 times tumbling. 🙂 good luck!

    will you answer my question? go to my profile and look for it, its about cheerleading. thanks

    trace the letters of the alphabet with your feet, as in moving/rolling your ankles into the motion of each letter. do this with each ankle.
    ankle weights in moderation help to.
    running helps.
    so does tumbling.
    toe raises.
