Cheerleading

soffes!! ah-mazing brand of shorts. otherwise known as booty-shorts; but that nickname is only for the girls who roll the elastic waistband at the top a zillion times. But most girls just roll it once. (:

well so far the highest basket toss I've seen is the flyer going at least 15 feet high =)

The highest basket toss (at college level) is around 30 feet high.

the highest basket toss recorded on the Guiness World Records is 5.1m from (Stormz) All Star Cheerleaders, NZ!!

Cheerleading began in 1898 Johnny Campbell had the bright idea to organize a six-member group of yell-leaders to raise spirit. The first all-star cheer team was 1983 by Hilda McDaniel and did you know women were allowed to cheer only in 1923?

it all depends if your school has a competition squad, football and wrestling, baksketball or if you do not have basketball or wrestling you could try to write a persasuive letter to your coach or priniple or someone to get one cause it is really fun!

To be a Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader you have to be determined, strong, willing, bubbly, loud, energetic, have to have spirit, work out, honest, and caring.

It's not easy being a cheerleader all the time. Yes, it's nice and it's nice to get attention but you have to watch what you eat, work out, wake up early and go to practice, condition like know tomorrow, you have to hold girls that are your weight or a little bit smaller, you have to get along with everyone on your team, when compitions come you have to work extra hard. Practice for hours, condition, make sure your uniform looks good, whiten your teeth. It's expensive being a cheerleader but it's a Passion and a desire. Cheer leading is fun but hard work.

Baseball requires a lot more thinking and skill than track because you work with and rely on a team to win. Baseball requires learning more skill sets than track and allows a merely good athlete to do well. Track, once you learn the basics, depends more on athletic ability and athletic training than skill.

No. As collegiate athletes/club members they can not be paid. That being said, good cheerleaders at the top schools like U Kentucky are on full cheer scholarships. Other than that, the only money that cheerleaders receive (legally) is from their school/NCAA is for travel expenses and that is minimal. When they cheer for a team that makes tournament, they get a little bit more for a travel allowance as the team proceeds to the next round in each tournament.

In order to do a toe touch, the body uses at least four muscles or muscle groups. The calf muscles, hamstrings, gluteus maximus and erector spinae muscles are used.

It depends, I mean you can go without, but I usually wear underwear with them. If its something like plain spandex(nike pros for example) I've gone without and its fine but it depends on the spankies or briefs, and its up to you.

There is some debate to whether middle school, high school, and youth league cheerleading are sports because of limited routines, and low level of skill. College cheerleaders usually are not considered a sport, even though most feel they should be. College cheerleaders are under the category of 'athletics', but aren't considered a sport, merely entertainment or marketing. All-star cheerleading (gyms that don't have a school for a sponser) is considered a sport but if you're still not sure: Ruling Reasons: * Cheerleading has it's own governing body, the USASF (United States All-star Federartion) for All-Star cheerleaders, and the UCA (Universal Cheerleading Association) for school cheerleaders. * Cheerleading is competitive, hosting competitions all over the country. From States, to Nationals, to The Cheerleading Worlds held in Walt Disney World, Florida. * ESPN considers All-Star cheering a sport and covers Worlds every year. Statistical Reasons: * 22,900: Number of children who went to emergency rooms with cheerleading injuries in 2002 * According to the National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injuries, female cheerleaders make up a whopping 50% of the catastrophic head, neck and spine injuries that are suffered specifically by female athletes. * Approximately 25,000 cheerleaders ended up in the emergency room in 2007, and the number does continually rise. Not all of these visits are serious, some are minor. * According to injury statistics reported to the National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research for the period between 1982 and 2002, the majority of catastrophic injuries to females were from cheerleading. (Most cheerleading injuries happen to females, in part because females are the ones who get thrown up in the air and because there are more female than male cheerleaders.) * Each year, more females are severely injured in cheerleading than athletes in any other sport (National Center for Catastrophic Sports Injury Research). Athletic Reasons: * Cheerleaders work just as hard as any other athlete in practices. They condition too. * With more advanced stunts, cheerleading gets harder and harder. It isn't easy to hold someone standing on one leg above your head, or toss them up in the air, have them do a flip, and catch them. * A lot of cheerleading is tumbling, or gymnastics style moves. * On higher levels, cheerleading is pretty extreme. The stunts, complex pyramids, and advanced tumbling, not only are risky, but very strenous to the body But, the true test is what the athletes have to say. Even though they know how dangerous the sport, most athletes wouldn't give it up. Cheerleading builds confidence, and sportsmanship. Cheerleaders do things every day that most people will never do,and they do them with smiles on their faces, and bows in their hair. Cheerleading is considered a sport by all who do it, and all who see it.

A scorpion is quite hard to do because you need to do a lot of stretching and you need to be very flexible. You need to have good leg and back flexibility. Since fliers always fly on their right leg, you must learn how to do a scorpion on your left leg. Grab your left ankle with your left hand and start to pull your leg up as if doing a scale. Once your left arm is straight, reach across with your right arm and grab your ankle. You will then be in a scorpion

The body's natural temperature increases.

You sweat.

The heart rate increases.

Muscles ache.

We lose glucose.

The heart pumps more oxygen and blood around the body.

You do different stretches like touching one toe at a time and having someone pull you down to your toes.

Do middle splits every day, holding them for at least two minutes. Also, stretch in a straddle, down to both sides and the middle. Do your toe touches and all other jumps daily.

My opinion to learn alot of cheerleading moves, is the gym where you have free space and no one near you for no concentration. the more you go to the gym and practice in gymnastics the more you learn the cheerleading moves likeBack handspringBack walkoverroundoffvaldezfront flipback flipback exstintion rollthat's wat i think you should do to learn the moves

The Cowboys Cheerleaders are always performing during Dallas Cowboys games at AT&T Stadium, which sometimes makes it hazardous for them. For instance, during a nationally televised contest on Thanksgiving Day in 2011, Melissa Kellerman -- then a fourth-year veteran Cheerleader -- was knocked over on the sidelines by Cowboys tight end Jason Witten after he caught a pass. She did not see him coming because she had her back to him at the time. She was unhurt, but perhaps a little embarrassed by the incident.

Smile big and sell every move.

You need:

Comfortable clothes:

Shorts, a T-shirt, stretch pants, a stretchy skort (or skirt with shorts under it), a sports bra, or cheerleading uniform (if you have one) and sneakers.

If you have long hair, put it in a ponytail. Headbands are good if your hair is short.

You might to throw a gym bag on that list, too. Y'know, for keeping a change of clothes in for after practice, your hairbrush, etc.

If you're on a REAL team, you will need pom-poms. You will probably have to buy them yourself, as well as your uniform.

So, that's about all.

Oh, and you might want a car to get to practice. :)

To come up with a cheer for a cheer team its not as hard as it seems, all you have to do is be creative. For example use words that rhyme or express your team like we are the best so we cant be beat or lets pretend your mascot is warriors you could say we are the warriors we are the best and we're gonna rock it harder then the rest. Hope this helps:)

a bow-n-arrow, is a cheerleading lib, where you have ot be very flexable. You pull your leg up next to your head and stick your hand through the front of your leg!!

Erica Englebert weighs 95-97 lbs.

There is no particular height that a flyer should be in order to fly in a stunt. The most important thing that a flyer needs is skill. A flyer should not be afraid to go up in stunts, they should be tight and have good balance. Without these, it is very diffucult to have good stunt. Although there is no exact height to be a flyer, they are typically short and very light.

we wear special cheerleading sneakers. we do this because we all need to look exactly the same, and they are special sneakers because the bottom is perfectly flat and hard. this is helpful for the bases because the sneakers don't bend and hurt the hands. as for tumblers, they offer good support as well as lightweight to make it easier to tumble and land.

its because they are busty and very sexy looking
