Cheerleading

Very possible. But you may be pushed off the squad by girls who can tumble. But, if you have the splits, backbends, roundoffs, cartwheels, motions, and high kicks down you will be o.k.

Gloria Steinem is an American feminist, journalist, and social and political activist who became nationally recognized as a leader of, and media spokeswoman for, the women's liberation movement in the late 1960s and 1970s. She is thus considered one of the mothers of second-wave feminism.

She was the founder of a feminist women's magazine called Ms, and also reported and wrote free-lance articles for various publications (including the NY Times) about sexism and gender stereotypes. Attractive, articulate, and photogenic, Ms. Steinem became a frequent commentator on women's issues for TV and magazines. She has remained a passionate advocate for women's rights and a spokeswoman for the empowerment of women and girls world-wide.

Well there is more to "lifting" a cheerleader than you think, first off it is calledstunting and there are many different ways to stunt. but most of the time there is a group of three 2 bases, 1 back spot, and 1 flyer . if you want to lift the cheer leader up you will most likely be the base and it is actually quite simple,
if you place the foot parallel in the palms of your hand while you are in a squat position and not yet have your arms extended it is called a squish and that is a prep for being lifted.
than you should dip once or twice than pop up to a half or extension ( an extension is higher)
be sure your legs are locked along with your arms
your finger should be firmly placed along the toes and heel of the foot.
do NOT arch your back and do NOT drop your flyer

It depends on what kind of squad you are on. Any competetion squad, has to do some stunting in their routine, as a requirement.

A layout is a tumbling skill level that a higher skill but not uncommon. It could be described as a backtuck (back flip) with your entire body straight. It is usually done after a roundoff backhandspring or just a roundoff. How to do a layout is a skill learned after often years of training and working extremely hard and really to do one you have to have the skills of a backhandspring and a backtuck and it requires the strength and power to be able to flip your body around with grace and percision. For a visual of a "layout" you can go on YouTube and search "standing layout" or "roundoff backhandspring layout" and if you really want to see some cool skill levels search on YouTube "Cheersport Atlanta Tumbling" and there are a couple of videos of a tumbling contest held at Cheersport National Championships in Atlanta (its the worlds largest competition) and they are really talented athletes. Hope my answer was helpful!

Yes, my high school does have a cheerleading squad.

about 1 to 2 weeks :)

i love cheerleading!!! I personally think it is the best sport EVER!!! I have been cheering since i was 5. it is a really great sport and i think it has really become more popular over the years. it is a great sport to become involved in. you make new friends, learn a cheer, learn a dance, put people up in stunts, and learn to flip. it also helps you get in shape. i lost 15 lbs after the season. it is also really fun and not all that "were better than you and more cool and like popular" it is an actual sport that peope take very seriously. so in all this is why i like cheerleading # # # # # # # #

in order to excel in cheerleading on a varsity team, a full is essential. some other cool passes are like, a front walk over (or front-tuck) to a round off, back handspring tuck (or again, full!). mix the tumbling you have around. round-off backhandspring to a layout, are popular too.

The Baltimore Colts had the first cheerleading squad in the NFL.

There are many reasons why someone should give you a scholarship. You could have done something very helpful or have a dream.

Yes, arena football cheerleaders do in fact get paid. However, they do not get paid much. They average about $50.00 per game.

Depends on what kind you buy. Cheapest would be like 25 dollars.

A physical exercise. you jump up and and have your legs sticking up to the sides and touch your toe a toe touch is a move in cheerleading when you jump in the air and you spread your legs A toe touch is a type of jump frequently used in cheerleading. To properly do a toe touch, you must jump, throw your legs up and to the side, and reach for your toes with your hands. DO NOT LEAN FORWARD! Leaning forward is not a toe touch. You back must be straight. The toe touch, is the most popular move in cheerleading. As many people join cheerleading, that is the first thing they learn. You have to be kind of flexible to do because if you jump up in the air and spread your legs to far you might pull a muscle. So fnow I'm going to tell you how you do a toe touch step bye step. 1. you jump up in the air 2. in the process of you in the air you spread your legs & touch your toes 3. the right hand touches the right foot, & the left hand touches the left foot you actually don't touch your toes; just so you know. you just reach for them. and, if you want to know the truth .. it's not called "spreading your legs", it's called straddling. spreading your legs sounds so disgusting. a toe touch is when someone jumps in the air and does a straddle. ( This is pretty much just doing the spilts in th air) Hope that helps!!!

well, little sally walker goes: little sally walker, walkin' down the street (clap clap) she didn't know what to do so she stopped in front of me (dancing) she said, "hey girl do your thang, do your thang, switch. hey girl do your thang, do your thang, switch. repeat.

you use your leg muscles alot and your arm muscles. you use your leg muscles alot and your arm muscles.

Many people think it is fun! However people think it's stupid! But, that isn't what Cheerleading is. Cheerleading is fun, not stupid! Cheerleading is fun because you get to meet new people, have school spirit, compete in competitions, learn a lot of cheers and dances and stunts and jumps. And though some cheerleaders just do it for the attention and outfits, most like to do it for themselves and just the joy of cheerleading itself.

Hope this helped!

Just as any anything else, cheerleading has quite a history behind it. In ancient times spectators cheered for runners in races held during the first ever Olympic Games in ancient Greece. In the 1860's students in Great Britain began cheering at competitive sporting events and soon the idea spread to the United States. At Princeton in New Jersey, in 1865 the first pep club was formed and they created the first-known cheer:

"Tah rah rah Tiger Tiger Tiger Sis sis sis Boom boom boom Aaaahhhhh! Princton! Princeton! Princeton!"(Kuch 9)

The history of organized cheerleading started in 1898. The University of Minnesota was having a pitiful football season. One fan decided to write a letter to the Ariel, "The Official Paper of The University of Minnesota," and complain. He wrote "Everyone's been crying, 'Keep up your spirits, and we will have a winning team bye and bye.' I say give us a winning team and our spirits will take care of themselves." (Froiland 13)

Everyone agreed that something had to be done and soon a meeting was called of all University of Minnesota students and faculty before the game with Madison Wisconsin. One of the University's professors presented a brilliant scientific thesis on fan support. He stated that the collective stimuli of several hundred students focused on sending positive energy in the team's direction would help the team win. The professor concluded with a rousing cry: "Go to Madison! Go to Madison! Apply the summation of stimuli!" (Froiland 13)

The game came and went, and the Gophers got killed 28-0. The cheer didn't work. It just didn't roll off of the tongue the right way. Something different had to be done to get the Gopher fans riled up. This is where Jack Campbell, a then first-year medical student, stepped in and he became the first ever cheerleader. Someone needs to lead the yells with organized cheering, he explained. And there needed to be variety, not just "He's all right" and "They're all right." So, the next game, Campbell led the crowd in a cheer that marked history:

"Rah Rah Rah! Ski-U-Mah Hoo-Rah Hoo-Rah! Varsity! Varsity! Minn-e-so-tah!" (Fecteau 18)

Thus, cheerleading in the United States was born.

Cheerleading, believe it or not, was dominated by men in its early years. However, when large numbers of young men went off to fight in World War II, the tables turned. More than 90 percent of cheerleaders were female from that point on. (Fecteau 18)

The evolution of cheerleading to a sport, again led by The University of Minnesota, started in the 1920's with the inclusion of gymnastics and tumbling routines. This helped cheerleaders to become known for their athletic ability. The 1930's brought on the growth of showmanship in cheerleading, and cheerleading became more entertaining to watch. Widespread use of the megaphone started in the 1900's and the famous pom pon was introduced in the 1950's by Lawrence Herkimer. (Fecteau 22)

Herkimer has done so much for cheerleading in the United States. He founded the National Cheerleading Association at Southern Methodist University after the holding of the first and second cheerleading clinics in 1946 and 1947. He also taught at the first cheerleading camp at Sam Houston College. The first year fifty two girls attended and by the next year the size of the camp had grown to 350. Herkimer had no idea that he would end up with 20,000 girls attending cheerleading camp in the summertime. Herkimer also was the inventor of a very popular cheerleading jump which was named "the herkie" after him. (Villarreal 18)

It depends on how fast you learn and how often you practice. It also depends on your skill level.
