How do i do a cheer scorpion?

How do i know which leg to do my scorpion for cheer on?

• I can do my right splits but i cant do my left split, so which leg to i keep down and which do i pull up?

• Answer:

  Do whichever leg you can lib on, or whatever leg your coach requires. Some teams think the right is the "correct leg" to lib on, and do all their elite libs on that side. My high school team allowed us to do whatever side we wanted, so I chose left because I was more flexible on the right side so it allowed me to do scales or heel stretches better. In college, the right leg was the default side to lib on, but my ability to lib on the left was helpful in pyramid building. Try to learn to do both sides well, it will help you in the long run, but ask your coach what she wants you to do for now.
