Cheerleading: Bases for easy stunts
Hi guys!Today im going to tell you about cheerleading stunts. This week im going to tell you the people needed for stunts. Lets not waste time and get started!
Athletes included:
Bases:
Bases are the people under the flyer
They hold the flyer and their responsible for keeping the flyer in the air also safe at all times. There are a few recognized styles of stunting: Coed, all-girl and hybrid. There are no gender requirements for being a base. Girls and boys can be bases
Flyer:
The one in the air
This is the person which is in the air in a stunt. Flyers are needed to control their weight by keeping their body straight and tight. When the flyer is in the air the bases have to hold their shoe and the back base has to hold their ankles. The flyer must keep a steady focus and must stay tight but if they dont they have a greater chance of falling to the ground. Flyers should be healthy. A strong core and a good sense of balance are the key things needed to be a flyer. Flyers may have extreme flexibility.
Thats all I have for this week. Next week I will talk about stunts that are advanced and hard. See you next week!

How to be a good flyer in cheerleading
Its another week of cheerleading skills and today im going to tell you about what it takes to be an awesome flyer in cheerleading. Lets get started!
*Make sure your body is tight and squeeze
The last thing you want to do is fall because your body is all over the place. A tight body gives you a good look and appearance
* Never ever look down!
It only makes you even more scared. If you also focus on something you will have better balance
*Make sure you hold your own weight
This makes it easier to hold your own weight
*Make sure you give a huge smile :)
Make sure you give a huge smile to your coach even though your unsure. If you dont you might lose your spot!
*Have good motions
Judges want you to have good motions not sloppy motions
*Avoid drawing attention when you fall
Just go along and you wont lose that much points
That's all for this week but there will be another one next week
Bye!

Cheerleading: Jumps
Hi! its Lyncy and today I'm going to talk about jumps. Jumps are one of the most important parts of a cheerleading routine because it can give you points. There is very easy jumps which is easy to learn but doesn't give you that much points. There is also hard jumps that is hard to learn and master but gives you earn a lot of points in competitions.
Basic jumps:
* T jump
* Tuck jump
* Spread eagle/ Star jump
Hard jumps:
* Pike
* Toe touch
* Herkie
Basic:
T jump
This jump is probably the most simple jump. All you have to do is to jump completely straight with your arms in a T position. This jump is probably the first jump that you will learn and master
Basic:
Spread Eagle/ X
You simply prep, swing and jump with your arms in a high V and your legs spread apart. Just jump off the ground and it will look like an X
Basic:
Tuck jump
A jump in which the cheerleader uses her/his stomach muscles to pull the legs up with thighs as close to the chest. Knees facing upward as if in a tucked position.
Hard:
Toe touch
In this jump the legs are straddled and straight. Toes pointed, Knees are back and your hands in a fist in a T position. You do not touch your toes in this jump. Keep your back straight and bring your legs up to you.
Hard:
Pike jump
This jump is difficult for people because you will need good flexibility for this to b mastered. Both legs are straight, Knees locked and hands are in a folded position. This motion is also called candlesticks. This position/jump is often performed in a ninety degree angle
Hard:
Hurdler
The straight leg is either forward with arms in a candle stick or out to the side with arms in a T. The knee faces the crowd in a side hurdler or facing the ground in a front hurdler.
Thats all the jumps that I'm learning and know about. There is so many more jumps that you can learn in cheerleading but thats all you should right now. Bye!
