It's perfectly OK to play ball with the guys. And no they won't all consider you the "friend type" rather than the "girlfriend type". The ones you play ball with might consider you "one of the guys" for a while, but eventually they will notice the girly girl side of you. (I played football with guys in high school)

I have been a cheerleader for 8 years and plan to be for 3 more.\nFor me, Cheerleading is not hard just challenging...\nIf you have a good team it is really easy to do hard stunts\nBut if your team doesnt get along it is hard to do hard things that require teamwork.\nI am a flyer usually but i am working to become a base because I want to be able to be useful in stunts as I get older and younger girls come on the teams.

**** ALL OF YOU WHO SAY ITS NOT A SPORT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im not a slut and nethier are most of my teamates we bust our butts harder than most people that are in sports my age and you havent even seen how bad you can hurt yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!\nCompetition is DEFINATLY a sport its acctually the most deadly one and you can only do it through high school (in a gym) or college! I half agree with the first answer if u are a little football cheerleader and ur not very good than it's not really a sport but if its 4 ur school u had to be good 2 make it (unless ur team suks then its not a sport)

RIGHT HERE! I have ONE female friend. And because I have a boyfriend AND a job I have one male friend....my boyfriend. Girl its been like that for me since the seventh grade. Girls for whatever reason do not like me. I dont know why either. I'm the nicest person I know for real. I try to talk to females but they just dont like me for some reason. It drives me crazy!

what people do you know that hates cheerleaders really? other then the wannabees, You girls are loved dearly stop stressing about others and what they say do or think they have small brains.  focus on what you do, believe, and love. you are young now so this is to be expected lots of drama when you get older you will lol about it those people that you feel that hate don't even know nor will they about how hard all cheeleaders have to work to be the best you all can be, I say forget them and as mention keep on keeping on being the cheerleader that you are.

I have no problem with gurls playing pick-up or even high school, but they cant compete with guy as the levels move up. If watched so much football. Very few guys that want to play can actually make it. Even biologically womens bodies are built to do less work then a mans.For some of the best and strongest athlets get hurt playing it would just be that much harder for a girl. If you have the determination to do it go for it, but just be warned its going to be tough. If you can accomplish it then more props to you, you would be a huge inspiration to many girls

ok im a gurl...\nand at 1st depending on how well i know a guy i will find out if we have something in common,( sports, games anything ) then once i know a guy for longer i will talk more about what girl want to know from guy, that you wouldent normally just ask, then i would just talk to a guys as if you were my best friend

I agree with you. I'm a guy cheerleader and at first i thought it would be easy. I was wrong!! I think it is one of the hardest things i do, and i have an all new respect for it. Well good luck with cheerleading and don't listen to those people who don't know any better.

"If you think you can handle me?"\n\nGet over yourself. You are  not a great girl. Great girls are great because they're humble. They are great, but they don't act like it.

I totally agree as long as an equal substitute is available for women. I prefer to play sports with the girls and save other activities for the boys ;0) My man plays on his softball team and I play on mine and when we want to play together we join a co-ed but it would be dumb to try to get on a men only team!@! Hints the name MEN'S TEAM!!!!!! Some women just have "penis envy" Dont hold it agains the rest of us!

Your friends should support you, and if they don't, they aren't real friends and forget them.\n\nAnyway!\n\nYou need stunts like back handsprings, front handsprings, front and back tucks, cartwheels and round offs, aerials...\nYou need jumps like herkies, toe touches (doubles too) or spread eagles, pikes...\nAsk current and/or previous cheerleaders what is expected, and also check with the coach for any questions you have.\n\nBefore you do anything I am about to tell you, STRETCH. Stretch after as well, we don't want injury, or you definitely won't make the team!\nTo get that find a good gymnastics place in your area. Start working once a week in a class, and move up. Tell them your goals and they will help you along.\nIf you aren't running, START. You need to be able to run AT LEAST a mile without getting tired. Start out just running around the block if you want. Move up to 1/2 mile, mile, mile and 1/2. Pace yourself, we have a while to work, and make sure you always have water, don't wear yourself out. \nYou need strong arms to support people, start lifting some weights. 2-3 pound weight is good, 10 15 reps every other day, you'll start to add muscle. Do push ups too. \nStrengthen your core, sit ups and crunches, those will help your stunts and jumps.\n\nFor the actual TRYOUTS...\nBe fit, on time and enthusiastic. Be prepared and alert to follow instructions.\nKeep a positive attitude. Always have a smile on your face! \nListen to your captain/instructor.\nDon't be late for ANYTHING.\nBe sure to stretch real good before and after tryouts. Don't attempt moves unless you already know them or have trained for them. It will cause injury and annoy other team mates. \n\nGood luck!

Tips on Making Your Motions Sharp and Snappy.\nWhat makes a good Cheerleader into a great Cheerleader? Why do some people make it at tryouts and others don't? When you're watching that awesome squad on TV, what makes them stand out and look like a picture of perfection? Well, mostly these questions can be answered with "they know the basics." Sure, a terrific jump or stunt might wow a crowd, but when you're careless or lazy in your fundamental Cheerleading skills like motions, you're sure to lose points on any judging sheet. \n\nMotions are one of the basic foundations of Cheerleading and a essential skill all Cheerleaders should master and more importantly keep mastered. So, whether you're a beginning Cheerleader just learning or an experienced one whose picked up some sloppy habits, get back to the basics, follow these tips and put the magic in your motions. \n\nSponsored Links\nCheerleading Secrets\nBe Successful as a Cheerleader Make the Squad Every Time\nCheerleadingSecrets.Net\n\nKids Cheerleading classes\nJoin our team - 7 Tampa locations!

It means your arms should be stiff and your muscles tight. Your transitions should be smooth, snappy and quick. You should punch your motions out with a lot of strength. \nNever bend your wrists - Your wrists should never be bent, cocked or out of alignment with your arms. \nElbows - If you're in an extended motion, your elbows should be locked. \nArm placement - Your arms should always be slightly in front of you and level. Know exactly where the spot is to hit a motion and don't settle for anything else than that spot. Again, keep your arms stiff and muscles tight. Don't let your arms bounce or jiggle. \nShoulders - Your shoulders should be relaxed and not raised up like in a shrug. \nFists - Know in what direction your fist should be facing (Examples: In a High V your thumbs should be facing towards the crowd. In a Touchdown your thumbs should be facing away from the crowd). Always keep your thumb outside your fist. Here's a good link for fist directions on some of the most common motions. If ever in doubt, ask your coach. \nTransition -Take the shortest distance to the next motion and wait until the last second to make it. Move quickly and precisely. \nSynchronize your motions - Your motions should correspond with the syllables of the words in your cheer/chant or the count of your dance routines and stunts. \nThe clap or clasp motion - This simple motion is often overlooked. Your hands should be under your chin, your elbows in tightly and your fingers close together. It should look clean and neat. \nKeep. \nExercises to Improve Your Motions: \n\nArm Strengthening - Do arm strengthening exercises like push ups and weight lifting. They offer some great ways to improve the strength in your arms and shoulders. Good motions are made with strong arms. \nHit your motions quickly - Then hold it for about 30 seconds as tight as you can. One tip in the forum also mentions tightening your butt muscles when you do this. As that will tighten your other muscles. \nWork in front of a mirror or video yourself - Stand in front of a mirror and watch as you hit your motions. Look for arm position, fist position and any extra unnecessary movements. Then close your eyes and hit the motion again. Open your eyes and look in the mirror to see how you did. \nEven when practicing other things, be sure you're completing your motions. Don't get lazy and halfway do them. Always complete each motion to the end. \nPractice with your squad - Coordinate your motions and make sure you're doing them in unison. \nMost motions have an opposite or reverse corresponding motio
