Begin by listing goals and objectives based upon age and ability.\n\nIf there are common stances and stunts that everyone will need to perform, begin by teaching that to everyone.  Then expand by listing their physical skill range and ability by individual.\n\nSet goals for each in accordance with age and ability.  Challenge everyone in the program to do something new before exiting the program.\n\nMost cheerleading programs are 5 days to 1 week in duration.  It will be important to organize the information for each participant in such a way as to enable you to appoint a skill or stunt in accordance with a progressive ability chart.  In other words, it may be safer to teach stretches before teaching splits.  Their physical well-being will be left to you to provide for.  That is a very serious responsibility.  Injuries sustained should be seen to immediately.  First Aid protocol needs to be established and adhered to.  \n\nMeals, if provided, or snacks should be healthy and suitable to build strong bones and muscle.  \n\nTo write a proposal for a cheerleading program:\n\nObjective:  To establish a cheerleading program for girls ages 5 to 12.\n\nGoals:  To enable each participant to learn new skills and proficiencies within the field of cheerleading.  New cheers, as well as, formations are placed.\n\nDay 1:  Each participant will demonstrate abilities.  Ability level will be accessed based upon fluidity of movement and agility.  New cheers will be distributed for memorization.  The postures will be established on Day 2.\n\nDay 2:  Assemble each person into groups of same or similar skill ability.  Focus on one cheer per group for this exercise.  Allow opportunity to practice informally, then formally.  Show them how it is to look either in photograph form or video.  Give them instructions on performing the next level of skill or stunt so that they may practice it at their leisure before dismissing.\n\nDay 3:  Assemble and divide.  Repeat Day 2 as needed.\n\n...\n\nDay 5:  Assemble.  Practice and perform skills and stunts in accordance with age and ability levels.  Focus on upcoming exhibition for parents, coaches, and players.  Invite anyone who is involved with sport activities in which cheerleading will be appropriate (always include principals...whether they actually attend or not).  Congratulate, distribute awards in a formal setting, and pat yourself on the back for a job well done.

Don't Do It! lol Just kidding. It will be hard work, but remember the girls are only 8. A lot of coaches forget that fact and then get frustrated when the kids don't understand. Relate to them, and build a personal relationship. Ask them about their day, their favorite color, a pet. This will get them to trust you sooner, knowing that you honestly care. Listen to them when they tell you something, and take it into full consideration. If the don't particulary like a postion you are playing them tell them you understand but at the moment they need to do it for the team. Rotate them all in different postions, and most of all  HAVE FUN!

im assuming you were on the team last year?\n\nyou have more experience than these newer girls. im sure that counts towards something. i wouldnt worry too much about it.\n\njust make sure you can do elite stuff (scorpions, heel stretches, fold downs) maybe even go to a cheer gym to practice there. this will guarantee you as a top.\n\nand even if you arn't a top, so what? you can base or backspot. its good to try something different. \n\njust because you arn't a top for partner stunting dosn't mean you can't be a top for basket tosses. \n\njust keep working on your skills and try not to sweat it too much. if you really love cheerleading it shouldn't matter to you all that much. \n\n:)

The best athletes train every day... \n\nI suggest that you train with other girls.\n\nYou can pursue two or three girls a day on this week, changing the strategy and tactics\n\nInvite some for dinner; others for the cinema; others to know your collection of stamps...\n\nWith this training, you become secure (less shy). Then...\n\nGood luck

Girls that do sports growing up tend to be a whole lot of really good things:\n\nFitter\nMore coordinated\nSocialized\nHappier!\nMotivated\nAmbitious\n\nHappily, there are great opportunities now in youth sports for girls.  Not long ago, those were hard to find.\n\nI would encourage any parent to get their daughters involved, just so that they can discover what they like.  The rewards can be fantastic.

I'll give you tips for preparing and for tryouts.\n\nBe fit, on time and enthusiastic. Be prepared and alert to follow instructions. As k cheerleaders on the team for tips.\nFind a good gymnastics center in your area, and have skills such as back-hand-springs, aerials, front tucks, back tucks...\nUnless you are really tiny and are going to be a flyer, you need to get some muscle and lift some weights at least 3 times a week. Your going to be lifting PEOPLE and WEIGHT for every stunt. \nHave a solid jump.\nRUN. Fun a few miles every week. Start off at 1/2 a mile and work your way up. You need to train yourself or else you will get exhausted real fast. \nStrengthen your core. 50 sit ups a day will improve jumps and stunting.\nKeep a positive attitude. Always have a smile on your face! \nListen to your captain/instructor.\nDon't be late for ANYTHING.\nPractice 5 times a week.\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.

Ok here are a few things to try.. First off..try getting straight up fulls.. do this will lots of spotters to build confidence.. Tell your girls to suck it up..and if they get scared be scared stiff :).\n\nDo things in the competition..that will work with halfs or fulls..for example..having three halfs..have them go up on Go, fight, Win.. If they get the fulls ..change it to fulls. If they do not then keep them at halfs.. If they get one full put it in the center..with the other two on the sides.\n\nAlso you can make nice variations to the plain half.. Try having the girls lift one leg up, stagging the half..this is a simple move..and could be used as an easy transition.\n\nAnother Idea is having three half one infont of the other.. Have the front half go down to a thigh stand..and the back half go up to a full.. on a certain count. you could also have the two halfs to rotate on teh outside..or have the whole stunt rotate.\n\nVary your formations a lot..but keep them clean! The smallest change can keep the judges from getting bored with the routine. For example!\n\nIf you have a shape like this * * * * *\n* * * \nYou can start standing..then have the front kneel..then get back up..than move to a new formation like a diamond or triangle..but do not make girls move all the way across to the other side..make it the LEAST amount of movement possible! this is the hard part.\n\nAlso you said many of the girls were new.. Try to keep the more confident cheerleaders in the front..this will relieve some stress to the others..for they have someone to keep an eye on. Their goal should be though..not to look at anyone else. \n\nYou can make simple dance moves look great by adding ripples or levels! \n\n\nI hope that helps :)\nbyebye

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! Cheer & tumble ages 4 & up $20mo\nExtremeYouthSports.com\n\nCheerleading Moves\nGreat deals on Cheerleading Moves Shop on eBay and Save!\nwww.eBay.com\nTips on Motions: \n\nSharp 'n Snappy - We've probably all heard this before when referring to motions, but what does it truly mean. 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

One good resource is to find a local pick-up game that accepts women, and then ask the players if there are any local leagues.  Try http://www.hoopsfinder.com.

My cheer team went to Nationals in March, and the best  thing besides being 100% prepared and completely confident in every move, jump, and stunt is to practice in front of an audience.  \n\nFind out how large the floor you'll be performing on is, and measure the outline with tape on the gym floor or wherever you practice.  Go over how you will enter and exit the floor again and again.\n\nInvite everyone you know to watch your squad perform.  We had more experienced cheerleaders and coaches from other teams critique us, and we performed three times.  The bigger the audience, the more you will be prepared for the competition.\n\n\nMake sure to practice your facials, especially in front of an audience! Sometimes when you're nervous, you think that you are smiling but you aren't.\n\nMake sure to be full of spirit, because that's one of the things that the judges will look for!\n\nHave lots of fun, good luck!
