Olympic gymnastics is the answer to your prayers. 🙂 This will take your cheerleading to a whole new level, guess that Ballet would also help you out. I am no expert on this matter so just wanna point out things that might help you.

How do I become a better flyer in cheerleading?

Question by ***123musicQT***: How do I become a better flyer in cheerleading?
Tonight was my first time ever to fly in cheer leading. Our main flyer suggested that I fly, Im normally a base, and when I did, I shook a lot, I heeled it, I frogged it, I sat, and I put all my weight on one foot. How do I brake these habits? I have to fly in the match tomorrow night after only one night of practice. I want to do good so can anyone give me any suggestions as to how I can improve my flying skills.

The first thing you should do is have confidence in your bases and yourself. Literally stand tall with your head held high, knowing that if you fall, your faithful bases will catch you. I tell flyers to pick a high spot on the wall to gaze at. This keeps your head up and your body relaxed. Secondly, you want to suck in your butt and stomach, and tighten all your muscles. For weight distribution, you need to practice feeling what shoulder width apart feels like. Your bases may be too close, which will cause you to want to lean on one foot. You can correct this by telling your bases to move closer, further apart, drop one foot, or raise one foot. You get this through practice.

Who was the Better Cheerleader: Mark Madsen or Ronny Turiaf?

Question by Nathan Nice (Flowin’ Owen): Who was the Better Cheerleader: Mark Madsen or Ronny Turiaf?
Laker fans remember Mark “Mad Dog” Madsen right?

So who was the better Cheerleader/Team Energizer?

I’m not talking about their ability on the court because its obviously Turiaf. But I’m asking about their Towel Waiving ability.

How do I become a better cheerleader ?

Question by Canadaa Chick: How do I become a better cheerleader ?
I just started cheerleading at my high school and I really suck !
Almost everyone on the team has done it before so they know what to do.

I’m pretty good at stunting (i’m a top)
I can full , basket toss ect.

But I can’t seem to get the dance down.
Also my jumps SUCK!
I am the absolute worst on the team.. they get about 1 ft. off the ground.

Tips and techniques to become a better cheerleader PLEASE! 🙂

Answer by Remy
As far as the dance goes..Just keep practicing it slow..making sure each 8 count is perfect slow then try an 8 count with music…Do that for the whole dance..For jumps make sure for a toe touch you do not drop your chest this will help you get higher..roll your hips under too..stretch every night this will actually overtime help your jumps and flexibility. One exercise You can do for a toe touch is pick a wall..standing up place both hands on it lift your leg across your body and swing it to a high angle..do this for 10 on each leg for a week..then 15..for a week..then 20 etc etc. For hurkies…hurrdlers. Simply sit in the position of the jump and stretch as far as you can. Think about pointing your toes and not dropping your chest. Make sure your prep is tight because that makes the jump look much cleaner..practice doing T jumps very tight..Practice facials in the mirror. Last thing for jumps wit against a wall laying down spread your legs in a v try to hold for 30 secs..next week a min

Hope this helps : )

I am going to try to find a video and copy the link of the exersice I told you about.

I have only seen one case of an over weight ugly girl being a cheer leader when I was in high school. She was the football coache’s daughter.

What can I do to be a better cheerleader?

Question by beccaa ox `: What can I do to be a better cheerleader?
I just tryed out for the middle school squad this year, and i was the only first-timer who made it. my coach said at the beginning of the year that i had a lot of talent, i just need a few lessons and practice. im very good, i can do every jump half decent, i am close to doing full splits, and i can do the dances flawlessly. Stunting is a bit tougher, and im just a front in the stunt groups. i go to the high school next year and i want to be a cheerleadre there too, but its way harder and im afraid i wont make it since i dont have enough experiance, plus i really dont want to stay a front for the rest of my cheer life. what should i do to improve my cheering? any specific stretches or websites? any information at all would help! im not doing this for popularity, i really like cheerleading.

what should i do to be better at cheerleading?

Question by Annoymous: what should i do to be better at cheerleading?
Cheerleading tryouts at my school are in April and i don’t realy think i’m that good like i should. I asked the cheerleading captain from another school to help but she’s so mean and stuck up all she and friends do is laugh at me when i do something wrong . I want to make the tryouts but i’m realy shy. I need to work on my voice, jumps, motions, and about everything else. Please give me tips on what i should do!

Best answer:

Answer by stephd829
Dont be shy! You wont look stupid because everyone else is doing the same thing. Just try your best and practice alot. Do you take gymnastics? That might help if you know how to do back handsprings, or even just cartwheels, roundoffs and splits. Good luck!!
