being a good cheerleader isnt about weight or being pretty its about being flexible for example you HAVE to be able to do the splits,back bend,cart wheel,and pyrimids.

How to become a cheerleader
It made me
confidence
 "It changed me."
How I did it: I had a dance background. i started off joining competitive cheer during my 8th grade year. During that year i learned the trade of Real cheerleading. i got tumbling skills and stunting skills. As well as the feel for the sport. When 8th grade ended i tried out for the highschool team. i got on and from there i cheerleaded in highschool. Lessons & tips: You dont have to have extensive dance or cheer background (Though the dancers and pre cheerers got almost guaranteed spots on the team..) You have to work hard, have a good attitude and be willing to try whatever things/ new things the coach tells you. pratice makes perfect. Believe in yourself. Always push yourself harder [dont be stupid though]. get into dance, especially jazz and ballet (ballet is the base of all kinetic sports). Support your teammates. prepare. Be reliable. cheer is about hard work. Never give up. cheerleading is such a reachable goal, for anyone. right coaches, HARD WORK, perserverence, determination and good spirits will get you anywhere. You just have to never give up!
Resources: -Join Dance: ballet, jazz, hiphop -Join an all star cheerteam (If its an allstar like i was on it will REALLY get you ready.) -Take extra tumbling classes! (use tiger paws if your wrists are bad. but they inhibit some dance/ stunting) -Read up on cheer!! - PRATICE.

For as long as I can remember I’ve always believed I was destined to be a cheerleader.No not some snobby blonde girls that go around being idots, I mean REAL cheerleading.The cheerleading the requires tumbling,stunts,jumps,dance, and cheers. I’m not new to cheerleading. I was a sideline cheerleader for 3 years ,what I am really hoping for is a spot on my schools COMPETITVE varsity cheer team. I also really want a be a flyer! I have a year 2 get ready. If I work on tumbling and flexibility I think I can DO IT!!!!!

Why do I want to be a cheerleader? Because when high school comes, I want to be involved in the school more. (im in 8th grade) my training schedule which I’ve been doing the last few weeks::
Sunday: Gymnastics, 3 mile run, & 50 sit ups
Monday: Practice Splits, 50 sit ups & Flexibility
Tuesday: Gymnastic Center & 50 sit ups
Wednesday: 3 mile run & 50 Sit ups
Thursday: Yoga & 50 Sit ups
Friday: 50 sit ups, Squats & Weight lifting
Saturday: Practice Cartwheels, 50 sit ups, & 3 mile run
“For a varsity level, you should have cupies, full-reload-full, double-downs, 180 ups, and a liberty (minimum). If a solid liberty is achieved, then arabesques, bow ‘n arrows, scorpions, and heelstretches should be tried.”

I want to be a cheerleader for a collegiate team. LSU to be exact, the problem is i’ve never cheered before in my life. I would not call myself flexilbe and i can’t even do a cartwheel. The good news is i have two years to prepare, because i will be attending a community college for the next two years until i transfer from there to LSU. I have a few ideas of my own, like taking yoga and strecthing to work on my flexiblity. I will also be enrolling in a cheer gym to work on tumbling, flips and other cheer related strenths. However if there is anything you think i shoould do to better prepare myself please let me know.
