Cheering. Jamie Popp

The hard sport of cheering is as exciting as a panther running. Low V's, high V's, and smiles. No matter if its hard as a rock, get your motions as tight as possible. There might be tears, there might be pain. But just keep continuing, no matter if you feel like an elephant in the room.

When you do your jumps, you have to be high like a balloon. Also you have to be tight and strechy like a rubber band. When you do your toe touch, jump high and proud like a tiger lunging for its pray. Amile like you've never smiled before. Sure, you may be nervous in front of the crowds of people watching you closely, but show them you're not afraid to show your team practice. Let them see the best toe touch you can do. They all will watch in awe. Keep your legs straight, spread them when you jump, and land with both feet on the ground, and stay there like a flag pole, as you do in all of your jumps. No matter what type of herkey you do, the leg you are not sticking in front of you, tuck the other leg behind you. When you do your pike, turn to the right, jump up and put both legs straight out with your head down and arms in fists and straight out.

When you do your tumble(s), for example, a back hand spring, stand as still as a board and as straight as one too, jump up, flip back, put your hands on the ground and land on both feet with your hands by your side.If you want to do your front hand spring, you do the same step as the back hand spring, only you jump up, flip forward and land straight up. Your back tuck will be fast like a roller coaster, but tight.Tuck you arms in when you jump back.

When you are trying out, you have to have your hair tied up tight and out of your face. Not a hair can be in your face. You have to have a ponytail in your hair, and be sure it will not fall out, because you will not have time to put it back into a ponytail. Once you step onto the fresh cut grass, you will start getting nervous. So be prepared to be surprised about how well you are.

That is the exciting world of cheering. Yeah, it is strict, but all at the same time, it is really fun to feel the rush when you are jumping around and screaming. Watching the games home or away, football or basketball, you will have fun no matter what. That is gurattened.
