Cheerleading For Beginners

Cheerleading is a demanding sport that requires more than just memorizing cheers and doing flips. It teaches students confidence and perseverance that can carry them in all aspects of their life. The physical strength needed to perform stunts and tumbling routines also helps children develop coordination, body awareness, and core stability. Cheerleaders are encouraged to be creative with their movements and add in jumps, gymnastics moves, and even cartwheels to create a unique routine. This can also help them build up their confidence and self-esteem.

Basic Cheer Motions

Whether your child is a beginner or has been cheering for years, there are some basic cheer motions that should be mastered to prepare them for more advanced stunts and routines. This includes executing high Vs, low Vs, T motions, and hand placements. Mastering these motions will allow them to perform a smooth and sharp routine.

Jumps

The foundation of every cheer routine is a jump section. It is important for beginners to learn the correct jumping technique and understand how to follow a count. They should start with a simple jump such as a T jump and work their way up to tuck, hurdler, and Herkie jumps.

It is also important for beginners to know how to manage stress during practices, performances, and competitions. This can be done by incorporating relaxation techniques and utilizing mindfulness. It is also important to stay hydrated during training sessions and competitions to maintain optimal performance.
