• i'm trying out for cheerleading ( h.s ) ( im a freshman ) what are the BASIC moves i should be able to do ?? ( ex: cartwheels..., etc. ) *** should i know a random cheer too? ...show more

• Answer:

  Jumps: toetouch hurdler (L&R) hurkey (L&R (if your school does those)) pike Tumbling: roundoff backhandspring Motions: high V T low V R&L V R&L punch broken T the difference between a clap and a clasp (they really nag you about this one! lol) you will also need these skills: loud voice smile! act like you're having fun, even if you're not you shouldn't have to know a random cheer because at tryouts, they'll probably teach you one but I don't know; other schools might not do that so heres a cheer: Lets go! Lets go (school mascot)! C'mon (school mascot), lets go! Its pretty simple but lets see if you can get the motions right! Let-(high V) s(broken T) go(low V) lets go(clasp) (school mascot)(T) C'mon(clasp) (school mascot) (clasp) lets go(right punch) **when you do the last motion, bend you legs and then clean with you arms by your side because during the cheer, your legs will be apart. Hope I helped! PS in the video below, she does a clap the wrong way. when you clap, your hands are strait. when you clasp, your hands fold together the way she shows you. if you need extra help, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySZozkgNwhU
