Cheerleading/starting again

Expert: Nicole - 7/6/2007


Question
I'm going into eighth grade and haven't done cheerleading since forth grade. I'm starting again, and I'm hoping to be a flyer, do you think 98 pounds is too much? And, what should I learn over the summer to be a good cheerleader? How should I learn it?

Answer
No 98 pounds is not too much. Over the summer, you should practice your flexibility, practice your tumbling skills, and just practice the cheers, or dances you have to learn(if any). You could take classes if you wanted to, if they were offered in your area. Let me know how it goes!

Expertise

I can answer all kinds of cheerleading questions. Either it be cheers, motions, chants, tumbling, stunting, try-out advice or just asking for advice, I can answer it all. I cheered since 1st grade all the way until my senior year at high school. In high school we had boys and girls on our squad so I am familiar with all types of cheerleading. I now have completed college and have my own squad. I hope you come to me for all of your cheerleading questions.

Experience

Ihave a lot of experience. I have cheered for 12 years.

Education/Credentials
I have finished college.
