Practice Practice Practice!!!!

Doing Cheerleading Motions Correctly

  • Keep your arms stiff and your muscles tight.

  • Your transitions should be smooth, snappy and quick.

  • You should punch your motions out with a lot of strength.

  • Your wrists should never be bent, cocked or out of alignment with your arms.

  • If you're in an extended motion, your elbows should be locked.

  • Your arms should always be slightly in front of you and level. Don't let your arms bounce or jiggle.

  • Know in what direction your fist should be facing. Keep your thumbs outside your fist.

  • Take the shortest distance to the next motion and wait until the last second to make it. Move quickly and precisely.

  • Your motions should correspond with the syllables of the words in your cheer/chant or the count of your dance routines and stunts.

  • Practice so much that the correct position and movement too becomes a habit.
