text: cheerleading tips?   1) be peppy!! have a loud voice, and don't be afraid to act/say silly things! 2) be flexable! make sure you can do basic jumps such as straddle, wolfe, and tuck. you may also need to know how to do a round-off, backhandspring, back tuck, or a split. 3) memorize things well! you may want to talk to previous cheerleaders and learn a few cheers so you can have a head start. memorizing all the arm/leg movements and words can be hard all at one time. you might also want to make up your own cheers to help you memory, but make them challenging! 4) be time flexable! make sure you can make it to all the games, and all the practices. missing too many may result in being kicked off the team. 5) be strong! if you aren't the lightest person on the team, you will have to spot others. make sure you are able to stay in a spot that is requiring lots of strength for awhile. push ups and pull ups will take care of that! good luck!
