What streches should you do to prefect your toe touches?
Lots of stradle streches! Do lots of those squats where you squat down so that both your legs are bent at 90 degree angles and press them down. Do lots of center splits, too.
Work on your core and leg strength! to do a toetouch correctly, you have to be able to use your abs to make yourself sit into the jump. you need your leg strength to pull them up. Don't forget to point your toes!
Last research I read (printed in 2009) Cheer over a *time period had something like 67 catastrophic injuries. That may include more than ones that caused death such as paralysis Gymnastics was #2 and it has been statistically shown to be the toughest sport in the world sooooo if the toughest got 9 and cheer got 67 there is something seriously wrong with the picture. Another interesting fact was TRACK was ranked #3 with only 7 injuries soooo if Gymnastic training can keep the injury rate nearly as low as Track..... yet cheer is at 67.... what a huge ugly mark that is on Cheer. IMHEO cheer is foolishly taught and performed. *I forget the time period.... I think it was like a 5 year run IMHEO - In My Humble EDUCATED Opinioun anti-gravityzone.com

Um I am not sure but I am on a level 2 and we are doing tick-tocks but we are really advanced in stunts. Our cheer coach says we will get bonus points for doing them so.. I would say they are legal in lvl 2 but usually don't start till lvl 3? Yep that sounds right. (:
Cheerleading, as we know it today, was initiated in 1898 by Johnny Campbell, an undergraduate at the University of Minnesota, who stood before the crowd at a football game and directed them in a famous and still used yell. "Rah, Rah, Rah! Sku-u-mar, Hoo-Rah! Hoo-Rah! Varsity! Varsity! Varsity, Minn-e-So-Tah!". And so cheerleading officially began on November 2, 1898. Whether you are a cheerleader, a yell leader, a songleader or a spiritleader (variations on the term "cheerleader"), or whether you are on an all female, an all male, or a combination male/female squad, you are striving towards one goal. That goal is to effectively lead a crowd in support of an athletic team and to generate spirit and pride within a school or community. Today cheerleading enjoys a reputation of being an important leadership force on practically every high school and college campus in America. All of this is because of a man in Minnesota who couldn't stand sitting in the bleachers. He had to be in front of them! Thank you Johnny Campbell!!

What are good standing tuck drills?
Part of my problem was that my core wasn't strong enough so I couldn't pull them quick enough. lay down on your back and hold on to a person's feet (or a wall pillar) and pull your hips towards your head in the tuck position. back down. up. down. It worked for me. And hey stronger abs are always a plus!!!!

On some teams, like the Bills, they get paid for non-charity appearances and they get commissions on merchandise, but they do not get paid for the games.
Cheerleaders do not get paid for rehearsals or for charity appearances.
it is actually a jump that you put the leg that is facing the wall in back of you straight and the other facing the person you can show it to bents. if you know how to do a stretch for a split(which is putting one leg underneath your butt and the other leg straight in front of you) just jump and hit that postion.

There is no set ideal weight for a fourteen year old cheerleader. However, cheerleaders must be in good health. The height of the cheerleader should decide the healthy weight. Let's just say the average height of a fourteen year old is about 5'1" therefore, a healthy weight and a normal BMI would be around 100 lbs or 18.9. Cheerleaders all come in different sizes though.
