Cheerleading

Eww! They shouldn't!

Depending on the team, piercings may or not be allowed. Many teams that participate in stunting, will require you to remove any piercings before participating. Other teams that do not do any stunting, will allow you to have piercings. If you are trying out for a team with traditional values, they may look down at peircings. No, all peircing must be removed while participating. you can have them you must take them out when actually cheering. It is a UCA(universal cheer association) rule!!!

World Wide there are 6 to 8 sports that fall under the heading of GYMNASTICS. The Gymnastic Sport trained and Competed World Wide that does stunts with Partners or groups of 3 or 4 is called ACROBATIC GYMNASTICS. So for more information Search for "Acrobatic Gymnastics" or by the previous sport name of "Sports Acrobatics" A more direct answer to your question that has JUST become available is these new HOW TO VIDEOS on some basic dual/trio/4's stunt gymnastic skills. These are available from USA-Gymnastics http://usa-gymnastics.org/acro/video/ anti-gravityzone.com

1. Stretch out your middle splits

2. Do 50 crunches

3. Do 15 leg kicks on each leg (stand up straight with your arms in a T and kick one leg straight up to your side as high as you can to stretch out)

4. Do 25 sit ups.

These drills will help a lot because you are stretching out your legs and strengthening them with the leg kicks and you are strengthening you tummy muscles (which you need a lot of for pretty toe touches) with the crunches and sit ups. I hope these help!

Make sure you also stretch, and get a hard tummy, and my sisters cheer coach told me that jumping 50 times per day(real jumps, not little sissy hop jumps!) you can get much higher! you always want elevation and a good landing!

I had this problem too but I found that I was not sitting back all of the way, if you don't sit back you will tend to jump up instead of back. If you have a very flexible back this is very common. You can also do drills like jumping back onto a mat with a hollow back because you might be arching your back too much. If you work on your back strength this may help too. I hope this helped!

The bases (the people catching/holding up the flier/'person in the air') and the spotter (the person making sure that the flier doesn't fall and crack her head open) catch the flier.

cheerleading sports mainly constist of football, basketball, comp. cheerleading, sometimes soccer and wrestiling.....pretty much any sport can have cheerleaders for them.......... CHEERLEADING IS A SPORT, YOU DONT SEE FOOTBALL IN THE OLIMPICS AND THAT IS A SPORT SO HA!!!!

From me being a Cheerleader myself you do not have to know how to do a Kart Wheel to be on a squad or to do Cheerleading. Some people only cheer instead of doing all of the flips. Actually I dont think you even really use a Kart Wheel in Cheerleading I never have. So if you are trying out for a squad and you cant do a Kart Wheel dont stress out most likely they wont even ask you if you can do one or not!

well you gotta give her reasons like here is what i did:

1. all my friends are on it

2. people say i would do great in cheer

3. it's a sport

4. i can do it through collage

5. it's only $300.00 ( for where i live)

you get the point but keep throwing ideas out to her and get the friends who do cheerleading to get their moms to talk to your mom about it.

First if you are allowed to wear shorts you can wear a pad so it doesn't bleed everywhere. But if its during competition wear a tampon or you can ask your parent or coach for advice. You may feel awkward but just know everyone goes through it!

It is possible that you could be injured in cheerleading because of there not being mats. There should always be mats or a springboard floor in cheerleading, for the athletes to practice on. If at your gym there are not, I suggest you remove your daughter from the squad immediately

There are usually 36 Cheerleaders, but the 2010-2011 squad has 34 members.

An estimated 3.2 billion have interest in football around the world. Sports like Cricket and Rugby are a distant 2nd and 3rd respectively.

Manchester united has 360 million supporters in Asia alone. its pretty obvious there is more than a billion supporters globally.

In cheer leading, a front hurdler can be done by facing the knee up with the second leg in a bent position in the direction of the audience. The arms are to be placed in a touchdown motion and the persons toes need to be pointed. The cheerleader must jump with their knees together.

take a tumbling class. get better at your skills so you can try out. there are a bunch of articles that tell you what you need to know for tryouts. also, find out what your school's requirements are. if you're homeschooled, maybe you have a cover school and you could start one there.

the dictionary definition for these words are: stunts-- a performance displaying a person's skill or dexterity, as in athletics; feat: an acrobatic stunt.tumbling-- the act, practice, or art of performing acrobatic tumbles, usually on a mat or the ground. stunts are like in cheerleading when you see a girl getting thrown up in the air or people holding a girl in the air, that's a stunt. tumbling is considered things like cartwheel, front roll, round-off, back-handspring, back tuck, full, x-out, front tuck, front-handspring, etc.

uswally around 15-25

That would be the Dallas Cowboys. The original cheerleading squad started back in 1960, then called the CowBelles & Beaux due to having female and male high school students in the squad. In 1969, the name was changed to the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders after it became an all-female squad. in 1972, the squad's age requirement was raised to women over 18 years old, and the uniforms were redesigned to the basics of what you see today. This new-look squad first appeared in 1972, and has been a staple ever since.

It's all a matter of opinion. All of the gymnast I've met that have done any kind of football training say that it does not even come close to compare to gymnastics training. You would have to do both to agree or disagree.

Saying that a gymnast can't do anything on a football field... makes no sense. Of course they couldn't, that's not their sport. Like the same way football players could not do triple back flips, they're not made for that. The point of the saying is that in general, gymnastics is a harder sport.

go to youtube and just look up slow cheer mixes and record it with your phone or something, then send it to your email and save it:)!
