ok! i have an answer to your question. You have to make sure to lay stiff like a board but sit up just like you are lying in a lounge chair. put your arms out as if your doing a trust fall. your bases will catch your body and your backspots arms will link through yours to catch you. It is difficult at first but then you’ll get the hang of it. Sometimes it helps to just watch another flyer do it and then you can copy her motions. Hope it helps and nail that cradel!

What is the proper way for a cheerleader to stand in between cheers? Arms/hands/legs?

Question by Jim S: What is the proper way for a cheerleader to stand in between cheers? Arms/hands/legs?
My friend has this bet with another friend of his about how a cheerleader is supposed to stand in between cheers (as far as where their arms/hands/legs are supposed to be) at a sporting event (in particular high school or college). I told them, I’d ask the question online and try to settle the bet. If you can be as specific as possible, I’d appreciate it, as $ 20 is on the line. Thanks!

Both should stand facing the game/action with their backs straight (no slouching) and a girl should be in “cheer position” with feet (mostly) together and hands fisted/on hips, a guy can be a little more relaxed. Clapping is okay but you know, digging at your butt or checking out your fingernails would not have been accepted at IWU in Indiana
