Cheerleading

No, the Detroit Lions do not have cheerleaders. Mr. Ford does not like the idea of cheerleaders. He prefers to keep the game a family event atmosphere and thinks that cheerleaders would lead to drunken-male atmosphere that will create a lot of fights and destroy his reputation.

Back in the early to mid 1970's while the Lions played in Detroit (Briggs Stadium), they did in fact have cheerleaders - 7 ladies to be exact. We were paid per game and cheered at the home games only, as they did not allow us to travel to the away games. When the Lions moved out of Detroit to the Pontiac, MI Silverdome, the squad was disbanded. There was a time the Detroit Lions did have professional cheerleaders!

Cheer Extreme Allstars was created in 1993.

I guess it depends on where you live. At my middle school in North Carolina, only 7th and 8th graders were allowed to be on the team. However, there were parks & rec. options as well.

None. The NCAA does not recognize football championships, however Alabama has a whole slew of AP and Coaches poll championships the last being in 1992. At least 7 times (61, 64, 65, 73, 78, 79, 92)

No! Cheerleading is for boys too. In fact, most cheer gyms request boys on their team. They are quick learners. They are excellent tumblers and can throw girls really high. Never feel afraid to cheer if your a boy!!!!!

I'm not sure exactly how much they make but it must be a lot because the teams have to pay a competition fee and then they have 500+ cheerleaders and their family/friends spending money at the vendors

It's all up your personal opinion.

My opinion basketball is way better because cheerleading way too girly for me (I'm a tomboy, hate girly stuff...eew...) Basketball there is a lot more action and running around. You need to have good strength, power and good shots for the ball to get into the hoop. It's epic.

But if you prefer cheerleading, then that's fine because it's up to you. My sister prefers cheerleading because you need to be flexible and you need to be able to fly and flip your body around in the air while you rely on other girls to try and catch you. It's like their your safety net. So if you think you can manage all of that then cheerleading is for you. But if not, basketball.

YOUR OPINION OK IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK..

Umm a chant?

No. just make sure when you are up in the air to suck up and really help your bases by pushing off their shoulders and you will be fine. have fun! :)

I'm a base and i doubt it. We have a fly-er who is about 125 and she pulls her weight up very well. If you really want to fly, and you're that weight, don't worry about it, just make sure to help your bases out!

if its for a school team then teachers and faculty from the school usually volunteer to sponsor the team . but allstar teams dont usually have sponsors , they only have certified coaches that now technique and are familiar with safety. hope i helped ! (:

Make sure to have shorts, a sports bra, a tee shirt, any braces or tape that you need, and always have your hair up. Be sure to make yourself LOOK like a cheerleader because the judges will notice you.

BIG MONEY!!! they even have cage dancers in the new stadium so they have building blocks now.

1st of all you start to practise back-bends and then you do a back-bend near a wall and kick off to practise then after awhile you should no how!! I t worked for me!!

http://handstandsaroundtheworld.com/home/how_to_do_a_handstand

A handstand is a seemingly simple skill that takes a long time to master. The best way to learn how to do a handstand is to first build your arm and core strength up. You can do this a number of ways. For arms I would suggest push ups and plank holds. For core, I would suggest hollow body holds and crunches. Once your strength is where it needs to be to hold yourself up, you will be ready to try a handstand against a wall. Start in a squatted position almost against the wall. Then walk your feet up (with stomach facing wall) until you reach a handstand position and hold it as long as you can. Once you have this down and can hold it for more than 30 seconds, you are ready to try a real handstand! At the beginning, try some lever hops. These are done by lifting your back leg as you lower your hands and then performing a small "hop" with your other foot when your hands touch the floor, so that for a short moment you are only on your hands. Don't worry about bringing your feet together on a lever hop. These are just used to get the feeling of all of your weight being on your hands. Once you have those down, try to bring your feet a little closer together each time until they are all the way together in your handstand. After that, work on fixing the form of your handstand by getting your shoulders directly over your hands and pushing your feet up towards to ceiling.

Princeton graduate Thomas Peebles introduced the idea of organized crowds cheering at football games to the University of Minnesota. However, it was not until 1898 that University of Minnesota student Johnny Campbell directed a crowd in cheering "Rah, Rah, Rah! Sku-u-mar, Hoo-Rah! Hoo-Rah! Varsity! Varsity! Varsity, Minn-e-So-Tah!", making Campbell the very first cheerleader and November 2, 1898 the official birth date of organized cheerleading.

Drumline is so a sport. Those other athletes who disagree are fooling themselves. On average a drummer in a drumline has 7 pages of music with 1000's of notes to memorize. On top of that they also have about 50 pages of drill and on field forms to memorize. Also, the drumline is responsible for keeping the tempo steady for the whole band while keeping ever note they play together, clean, and crisp like a granny smith apple. There was a study about the difference between the heart rate and blood pressure of a pro basketball player versus a drumline member, on the field marching a full show with a set of tenors on. The basketball players heart rate was significantly higher than that of the drumline members. This is proof that it takes more mental and physical stamina. I played basketball myself for 8 years, soccer for 4 years, and drumline for 7 years. I've never been so exhausted then when coming off the field after doing a marching band performance as a tenor player.

Generally pom pons do not need to be cleaned. If your squad shares poms and you are worried about spreading germs, you can always Lysol them 24 hours before they need to be used. Make sure if you do this, though, that you give them plenty of space to air out. If it's actual dirt on the poms, a wet rag down the streamers will work just fine.

We are still researching. All I know is that cheerleading was not created by a female, but a male. The male called his squad yell-leaders. The reason he called his squad that is because they had a mega-phone and they would yell out quotes. This was then in the 1930s when yell-leaders were created by a male. Yell-leaders did not do any back-flips, or the splits. They yelled. Duhh. So cheerleaders are very, very, verry different. This is all I got. I hope you learned a lot about yell-leaders.

Weightlifting and aeroics are by far the best. Cheerleaders need to be strong in order to do gymnastics and stunt. Aerobics is great for conditioning your heart to get through a routine without being out of breath, plus you will become stronger. You can't go wrong with cardio and weight training. you can also do cartwheels and stretches. it helps you not disconnect any muscles. hope i answered your question

well, in some cases it can be. some of these costs include: competition fees, busing, uniforms (the skirt, the top, the undershirt, the underwear [they go over your underpants], socks, sneakers, and hair scrunchies), gym time, and even clothes for practicing. cheerleading can also be very time consuming, some teams having it seven days a week, competitions and games. competitions can be very stressful, also. For example, most times you have to be there at around 8 am. it also takes a while for registration, mat time, and the actual performance, and then the awards. most of the time, there is about an hour in between registration and the beginning of the competition, mat time and the actual performance, plus watching the other teams and divisions, waiting for scores, and the awards ceremony. but in the end, it is very rewarding and worth the effort.
