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

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.

As a current cheer coach, first and foremost I would have to tell you to be ready.  Know your routine backwards and forwards, and keep your movements sharp.\n\nBe loud, but not shrill....use your diaphragm.\n\nBe enthusiastic and don't stop smiling.  Most of all have a good time.\n\nGood luck

Use cardboard, clay, or sugar cubs.  Cardoard would be the easiest.

Use large rubberbands, or bungie cords, and strap them between 2 upright poles. Use a hinge and a peace of wood to make the throwing arm.  You can find all of the parts at a home depot and just kind of wing it.

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.

This is how to do it, I have done it 1 month ago in school.\n\nMaterials Needed:\n1)Plastic Soda/Water/Juice Bottle.\n2)Liquid, you have to fing the correct combination of liquids to use, and see which liftoff was the best and try to be creative, don't blow yourself or your house up, though.(we did at school)\n3) I believe it is a pumper, you could search it online as "water bottler rocket launcher" on Yahoo. I THINK it's around $60:)\n4) materials you want to decorate your rocket with(leave the inside empty)\n\n\nInstructions:\n1)Decorate your bottle, don't make it too heavy though.\n2)Find the best liquids that mix to make the rocket's liftoff better, or buy it from someone(remember to buy it legally).\n3)Mix the liquids, be safe and don't blow up anything.\n4)Insert the liquid in the hollow bottle, and immediately insert the top(the side you drink with) in the whole, make sure the launcher you buy fits the size of your bottle.\n5)Push the red(or any other color button), the rocket might start to shake, that it OKAY.\n6)Let an ADULT, hold the string, and count down.\n7)The string is jerked, and the rocket is lifted off.\n\nRemember, these instructions might vary from launcher to launcher, and to be safe when mixing liqiuds, mix safe liquids like orange juice and apple juice!\n\nAnd be safe..............

Composure, presence of mind and perseverance is most needed for a cheerleader. Here are some regular Cheerleading tips to help you get there. Practice on your voice, a good cheerleading team is known to have a sharp and audible voice across the audience and the judges. Learn to smile and appear calm from the external, appear as though you are enjoying the show and this can work in your favor.\n\nAnother important Cheerleading tip is to be well dressed, dressed comfortably and neatly combed for the event. If you fail to perform a certain stunt, do not get hassled and affect the remainder of the performances. Like in gymnastics, there is a section called recovery that judges use in case a performer fails but recovers gracefully and performs the other steps well.\n\nClick the link below for more information...\nhttp://www1.webng.com/sportsrecreation/Cheerleading-Tips.html

a fancy dress party as a cheerleader?????

The above way is one way to do it.  One of our flyers is about 90 pounds, and we figured out an easier way to get more height out of her basket toss.  The two bases each grab their left wrist to make a right angle, and then grab the other bases wrist, to make a square.  The front spot holds underneath the hands, just like in a normal basket toss.  Now, the backspot counts off, 1, 2 - on 2, the backspot puts the flyer in the "basket" and the flyer stays their until ready to "fire".  Flyer should have their hands on the bases shoulders, elbows out, and shoulders square.  The backspot then grabs the back of the flyers ankles and counts off 1,2 - on two, everyone bounces once, and then throws the flyer in the air.  This gets more height because it allows the flyer to push off better instead of relying on the bases to throw her up in the air right away.\n\nEasy stunts for small girls could include small pyramids or small lifts without a backspot.  Take two bases and a flyer.  Set up one base in a pocket (deep lunge) and another across from her in a prep stance (bent knees, straight back, hands together with palms facing up.)  With both hands on the bases shoulders, the flyer sets one foot in the pocket and bounces into the other bases prep stance.  The base with the prep stance lifts and turns the flyers foot so the the base is now perpendicular with the pocket base and the the flyer now has one foot down in the pocket and one foot up in a prep sideways.  This looks good is you have two of them facing opposite directions.
