People play pool after leaving school. People play darts after leaving school. Besides cheerleading camp, tell me where all the cheerleading parks are. Cheerleading is not an enduring activity. It's like asking a CEO how he likes recess.

Baltimore: Last Stand of the Cheer-Hunk \n(pic. not available here)  \nTitans cheer-hunk Lonnie will have to be shirtless somewhere else.    \nThe Tennessee Titans, one of the two NFL teams to offer cheer-hunks as well as cheer-babes -- Baltimore is the other -- have just decided to eliminate male cheerleaders. Supposedly this is owing to "liability concerns," because the men were tossing the women into the air during stunt routines. But don't the male cheerleaders toss the female cheerleaders into the air at every college game in the country, without litigation? How come every college in the country can handle this maneuver but the Tennessee Titans can't? \n\nTuesday Morning Quarterback has mixed reactions to the news from Nashville. Being a traditionalist, I think it's incredibly important to uphold the tradition of gawking at buff, half-naked cheer-babes. So as long as the women's squads are not threatened, the cheer institution is safe. But consider the NFL's ever-growing contingent of female fans: surely they have an equal right to gawk at ripped cheer-hunks. And what about nontraditional male fans? You might counter that women and nontraditional men have the players themselves to gawk at. But the players are, distressingly, fully clothed. \n\nHere is the Titans' 2003 cheerleading unit. Kiss the guys goodbye. \n\nAnd to think this could happen when the president of the United States, George W. Bush, is a former college male cheerleader.

I think that the key part of "cheerleader" is "leader."  You are part of a group and must learn the drills to do your part.  You are also most visible at games, etc. and can set a good role model for others by being cheerful, friendly and respectful.  One squad always kneals as a group when a player is down injured and cheers when he gets up (whether from the home team or visitors).  Do you have an opportunity to make visiting cheerleaders welcome, even though your schools are strong rivals?  You can help teach good sportsmanship and how to be good sports, regardless of the score.  Cheerleading squads can be cliquish and part of the in crowd.  The most beautiful girl in my high school class was a cheerleader and the friendliest girl to everyone in our class, where she was also an officer.  We lost her suddenly to lukemia right after our football season (we didn't know) and she is still sorely missed many years later.  In short, be yourself.

Cheerleading in Australia.  It is not a big thing generally in Australia.  At the bigger games - games supported by corporations - yes we have cheerleaders.  It's not a career thing here.  It is one of those things we seem to be copying from the USA. On this basis it is not something most Australia are wrapped it. On the basis that it can be nice to look at while the team is taking a break, it is accepted and enjoyed. Naturally if you have a family member in the squad you probably are very into it.

Hey hey hey hey.......now wait a minute. I was cheerleader captain in high school and I turned out ok!!! I don't even squeal. (that has to mean something.....right??)\n\nNot sure what you are hearing, but perhaps it is just a generalization. Don't make me have to come over there and smack you with my pom poms!!

Yes definitely!\n\nImagine a football player having to run a play, while reciting a cheer, staying in step with the player next to him (or her), then at the correct moment have three to four players lift him up.  Cheerleaders do it.\n\nA high school cheerleader will, in most cases, memorize the names of all of the football and basketball players in order to do personalized cheers...on top of the pages of generic cheers they must learn.  A football player does have plays to remember, but he doesn't have to worry about the basketball team.\n\nIf you take five football players, five basketball players and five cheerleaders and required them to score a touchdown, score a basket and put someone in a half, (a half is where the flyer is lifted to sholder height of the bases) the cheerleaders will win.  There is a specific way the flyer has to jump into the hands of the bases or it's not going to go up.  Throwing a football can be done most anyway you hold it.  It may not go far, and it may not spiral, but it will go.  A basketball does not have to roll off the fingertips to score, but it will go into the basket.\n\nI broke my finger playing football as a child.  I ripped the tendon in my shoulder while playing centerfield as a teen.  I didn't injure myself playing basketball, but I did play on a league as a teen.  I have never been able to do anything above a thigh stand in cheerleading.  So, I am familiar with all sports as a participant.\n\nCheerleading is definitely a sport.  Like football, there are "plays" to remember and execute.  Like basketball, there is timing.  Like running, there is endurance.  The only difference is the participants have perfect hair the entire time.

I don't think a lot of people realize how competitive and athletic cheerleading has become.  I think back to when I was in high school and all the cheerleaders did back then was dance a little and kick a little and shake their pom-poms and lead cheers and look all cute and perky.\n\n"Rah rah ree, kick 'em in the knee!\n Rah rah razz, kick 'em in the other knee!"\n\nIn fact, in my high school, and I'm sure in most others at the time - this was about 25 years ago now - cheerleaders were voted on by the student body, so it was as much a popularity contest as it was anything else.\n\nI look at the junior high and high school cheerleader squads nowadays, and I'm seeing all sorts of flips and throws and athletic stunts that they would have thought to be absolutely insane back when I was that age.  \n\nAs far as what to do to explain to people what cheerleading is now as opposed to how they remember it?  Perhaps when you have your sign-up nights, you could arrange to have some videos running that show competitions and what the girls will be expected to do, or have some visual of that nature, maybe even a demo or two by your current squad, so that the parents and the girls can see how cheerleading has evolved into the sport it is now, rather than the primping and giggling that it used to be.

okay, so I'm a bit confused.  You are just on a cheerleading all star team, not for a school, right?  Squad is called Cheer Invasion, and a team called Senior Silver. That is where I get confused.  You need to say the cheer that you come out to so we can get an idea of where you would want the wording...\nsorry!

YES, YES, BROOKE, OF COURSE YOU CAN. Don't let these people get you down, who, more  than likely have never done cheerleading in their life! Varsity requires many stunts such as back handsprings, do not despair, JV does not require it. In some schools, maybe, but not normally.\n\nPractice really hard and don't give up! Have fun!

Don't cheer unless you want to do well in the sport.  You will be bruised & sore.  Every cheerleader gets kicked in the face at least once... it takes a lot of strength.  It's not a giggle fest like some people think.

Im on the cheer team, and it's not as hard as it sounds. Don't let other people scare you.\n\nIf they have open gym type things, or open practices go to them! (They will teach you the basics so you get an idea of what you will be doing/how to do it) They will benefit you greatly! If the team your trying out for dosn't have them, look up a local gymnastics cheer gym/club, call them up and ask if they have anything where beginners can come and learn the ropes before tryouts.\n\nIf you don't check out something like that, then work on your flexibility now. Practice jumps (if you know the techniques..if you don't & you know someone on the team ask them to show you what to do...this is where those open practices come in handy!)\n\nWork on getting fit. You don't have to be in amazing shape to make cheer because they will get you in shape once your on the team, but it dosn't hurt to start getting your stamina/strength up now.\n\nIn tryouts, learn the dance & cheer and perfect it as much as possible. Even if you screw up in tryouts, just keep going. Don't stand there doing nothing, this will show the judges/coaches that you won't freeze on the mat during a competition or something & that you are resourceful. Do facials, or at the very least just smile! Make it look like you want to be there.\n\nKeep a positive attitude no matter what, and try your best. \n\nIf you can tumble or have cheer/dance experience this will help you in tryouts, but it's not neccisarry. I had no experience what so ever, and so did many people who made the team with me so no worries if you don't.\n\nIf you are interested in learning to tumble, once again call up those local gymnastics gyms and ask about open gyms/practices where you can go and learn. Being able to tumble will give you an advantage, but once again it is not neccisarry, so if your not comfortable flipping then don't sweat it!\n\nHonestly, if your really ambitious and show the judges/coaches that you truely want to be there and want to make cheer a part of your life then you should have no problem! No one is amazing their first time, so if you mess up don't worry. They will take into consideration you have no experience. Do your best & everything will work out!\n\nGood Luck :)
