Perhaps it’s a pretty good deal that life isn’t fair – Sioux Falls Argus Leader

Or in high school, when you didn’t make the basketball team or the cheerleading squad … or, you did make the team and in the championship game, the referees were terrible and you were sure they had called “an unfair game.” All you could say was “It’s …

I am a new cheerleader coach and need ideas for a highschool pep rally something good?

Question by ladydamp: I am a new cheerleader coach and need ideas for a highschool pep rally something good?
I have never plan a pep rally before being this is the first pep rally the school has had in the last past 2 years due to the gym being destroy by the hurricanes in Florida. I would like this one to be nice and something the kids, adminstrator will remember. And just maybe we will have more if this one turns out good

Try doing a “Black Out”. Everybody wears black to school on Friday. Everyone comes into the gym like it is a normal pep-rally. nobody knows why they wore black. Then the lights flicker out to the sound of thunder, a guy over the speakers: “hhhhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere……come the (tigers, or bulldogs, or cyclones, or whatever). “we ready” or some other pump you up music blasts over the speakers as the anouncer anounces the players. While this is happening, the strobe light is flashing, and the cheerleaders are doing flips in the dark (nothing hard, of course, this is the best part, it looks really cool). You could make a runway of (white) christmas lights for the players to come out one by one if you want. You can sell or give away glow in the dark gel-stick lights before hand. My school had one, and it was definitely the best pep-rally i have ever been to. And all of us football players and of course the students, got realy pumped up.

Always smiling, Super stretcher, Highest flyer, Best base, Flirtiest facials, Loudest, Neatest uniform, Brings the best snacks, Biggest fund raiser, Most inspiring, Most improved, Most motivated, Most creative, Most spirited, Squad Clown, Best all around, Best newcomer, Best returning cheerleader, Team motivator, Best back handspring, Tightest Tuck, Highest Herkie, Strongest….

Think these through carefully, don’t give anyone a superlative they’d be embarassed about, ie if you’re going to give out “Brings the best snacks” be sure it goes to someone with fantastic body image. Don’t hesitate to repeat awards. It is validating to recieve the same award as sombody else, especially for the shy ones, it makes them feel like they fit in.

What are some good flexibility stretches for cheerleading before tryouts?

Question by lynnnie-bo-binnie: What are some good flexibility stretches for cheerleading before tryouts?
I’ve got a little less than a month before tryouts for JV cheer. I NEED to get a great toe touch jump, as well as splits. How can I prepare?

You need to try and strecth every day, and you will have these in no time!

for toe touches:

do leg lifts. sit in a straddle and put one hand in front and the other in back. raise one leg at a time a few inches from the ground then back down without touching to floor. do about fifteen on each side then try the middle with both legs.

sitting to touch: lay on your back in your straddle and a high v. then at the same time, bring your legs up and your chest up into your toe touch position and come back down. this gives you the feeling of doing a toe touch and will increase height.

butterfly stretch: (you probably know what this is) lol

splits: have a mat or something (I use a suitcase LOL) like a foot off the ground to help stretching

both knees bent: put one foot on top of mat in a ninety degree angle and the other behind you in a ninety degree angle. try to make a mini split with you hips and push on your forward knee with your hands. hold for 30 sec. on each side and keep your hips forward!

one leg straight: have one foot on the mat and one foot behind you in a 90 degree angle. lean back so only your heel is on the mat. try to sit on your back leg a little and touch the mat with your hands. hold for 30 sec. on each side.

both legs straight: stand up with one leg on mat and other behind. the back foot can be turned out if needed (mine always is). try to touch the mat and hold for 30 sec. on each side.

middle splits:

wall sit: sit with your butt against the wall and your back on the floor. put your legs on the wall and go into a straddle. hold for 30 sec.

SPLIT TIME!! :): go into your splits, in between two objects if you need to. try to keep both legs straight and go down farther each time.
for middle split, try to go down as far as you can and put your elbows on the floor.

i really hoped this helped and good luck on tryouts!
