Is wildcat all-stars the best cheerleading team ever?

Probally not... but It is hard to tell the best cheerleading team ever. And there are many wildcats. World's is a competition in Georgia and cheerleaders come from all over the world for it. I guess if a team won first place at that competition then they would be the best. Stingray Allstars is a very good cheerleading team. So is Fame Allstars they got 6th place at World's and American Cheerleader Magazine said they were 11th cheerleading team in the Country, which is amazing :)

How do you teach yourself how to do cheer jumps that are good for middle school cheerleading and any stretches that would help me do the jumps better?

I'm in middle school too:) Since teaching jumps is hard to describe, just search on youtube "how to do a toe touch, etc"

Anyway, stretches...

1) Stand with your arms in T position and your legs together. Keeping your body in this position, lift one leg to the side and try to reach your toe above your finger tips. Do this ten times to each leg. (This helps with a toe touch)

2) Sit in a toe touch position and put your hands in front of your crotch, and straighten your arms. Lift one leg as high as you can, while keeping your arms in the same position. (even getting 1 or two inches off the ground is good!) Do this ten times on each leg. For me, it stretches the sides of my thighs, and improves toe touches.

3) You probably know this one. Sit in a pike position and try to reach your toes. This one stretches my knees and back.

4) Try doing handstands against a wall, or going for a walk. Anything that improves strength also improves jumps!

It's going to take a while to get great jumps, but do these exercises every morning and night, or just when your watching tv will help.
