Question
My daughter takes cheerleading.  The coach told me to help my daughter practice her scorpion at home.  He said she is not using the right hand holding position to hold her leg up. That she keeps forgetting how to do this part of it. I know nothing about cheer.  I have tried to look up pics. of the scorpion on the net, but none of them show the close up of the hands (how they are holding onto the foot).  My daughter is 6 years old and takes from an all star gym.

Answer
I have one photo of me and one of my partners putting up a scorp after a basketball game. Its not exactly a closeup of her hands but its one of the better ones i found (i also searched the net real quick) i think if you open it up and zoom some you can get a pretty good idea, if you would like me to email it to you you can drop me a line at wvucheerjr@yahoo.com
