How to train for cheerleading?

What should i do to train as a flyer in cheerleading?

  • i have cheered for 3 years now and im 13 and im 5'1/2 96 pounds and ive never been a flyer always a base becuase there is 8 year olds on my team but next year i will be going into high school and the coach said i will definitely be a flyer so what can i do to prepare like as in balence and flexability i already know the counts because im a base soo yeah duh lol.

    I'm surprised that you didn't think of the obvious to train with. Buy yourself a trampoline for the back yard. And also sign up for trampoline classes at a community center this summer. They will teach you how to jump and then do tumbles and twists and such as you progress. It's important to get this instruction, so that you don't land wrong and sprain or pull something out of whack. Much less break your neck. Many people buy trampolines just of exercise at home for the summer when you can be outside. And it's fun too. Congrats on the progress you've already made to go on to advanced cheerleading next year. I'm sure you'll be a star!

You need to do a lot of different types of crunches. Maybe even some pilates. It's very important to have a strong core so you can keep your balance. Especially if you'll be going up in Liberty.

I wouldnt do anything on the trampoline because it'll get you in the habit of bouncing an extra time before you load in but if your coach doesnt care then i guess thats fine but our coach doesnt like it. do lots and lots of crunches!!!! that will help SOOOOOOOO much!!!! Good luck and have fun!!

get a "mayflyer" its this balamce thing that you sand on and pull your tricks so you can do it in the air.. its actually just like being in the air except your closer to the ground. it also depends on what level you are. levels 4, 5, and 6 need to different things than level 1 and 2. good luck!
