Question
Im a first time cheerleader and i cant rember any of the cheers.Is that really bad ' and what can i do to rember them?

Hi Kimmy!
No this isn't bad. It's normal for first time cheerleaders to have trouble remembering cheers and chants after just learning them. It takes alot of practice just to get used how to learn cheers. Trust me, It will get easier though! In the meantime, you could practice the cheers with a friend who is also a cheerleader. If it is still difficult to remember the cheers, I would suggest bringing a video camera to the practices where you learn the cheers. This way you can video tape your instructors performing the cheers and practice your cheers at home!
Hope this helps!
