TO BE THE BEST YOU HAVE TO WORK TO BE THE BEST. ANY CHEERLEADER OR THOSE HOPING TO BE AN EHS CHEERLEADER NEED TO BE PREPARING FOR THE UPCOMING TRYOUTS AND COMPETITION SEASON.
TO MAKE THE EHS TEAM YOU WILL BE EVALUATED ON THE FOLLOWING:
CHARACTER , ATTITUDE, ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY
CHEERLEADING COMPONENTS; MOTIONS, JUMPS, KNOWLEDGE OF DANCES, CHANTS AND CHEERS, PROJECTION AND SIDELINE STUNTING ABILITY; BASIC TUMBLING
COMPETITION CHEERLEADERS WILL BE REQUIRED TO HAVE ADVANCED TUMBLING SKILLS:
STANDING TUMBLING: STANDING TUCK OR CARTWHEEL TUCK,
RUNNING TUMBLING: RO TWO TO TUCK, ROUND OFF BHS TUCK. WHAT YOU HAVE THE DAY OF TRYOUTS, NOT WHAT YOU ARE WORKING TOWARDS. IF YOU HAVE BASIC TUMBLING SUCH AS RO BHS, STANDING BHS, RO MULTIPLE BHS; CONTINUE ADVANCING YOUR SKILLS SO THAT WHEN YO
U TRYOUT YOU HAVE THE ADVANCE SKILLS READY TO BE EVALUATED. (ADVANCED EQUALS TUCK, LAYOUT OR FULL).
TUMBLING ONE SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE IN A TUMBLING CLASS AS WELL AS A JUMP CLASS AT ANY LOCAL CHEER OR GYMNASTIC FACILITY. THE ONLY WAY TO ADVANCE YOUR SKILLS IS TO CONTINUE LEARNING.
CARDIO THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT IN YOUR STAMINA (A 2:30 MINUTE ROUTINE MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A LOT BUT WHEN YOU ADD JUMPING, STUNTING AND DANCING STAMINA IS NEEDED).
STRENGTH TRAINING: THIS STARTS WITH CORE WORK. A STRONG CORE WILL HELP ELIMINATE INJURIES. THIS IS FLYERS AND BASES. UPPER AND LOWER BODY STRENGTHENING IS NEXT. IF YOU ARE MEMBERS WITH A GYM, START INCORPORATING THIS INTO YOUR WORKOUTS. YOU CAN ALSO LOOK UP STRENGTH TRAINING FOR CHEERLEADERS ON YOUTUBE. EVERY WORK OUT COUNTS
WELLNESS: THIS IS WITH MENTAL WELLNESS AND NUTRITIONAL WELLNESS. FUEL YOUR BODY WITH POSITIVITY AND GOOD NUTRITION. JUNK IN = JUNK OUT.
YOU CAN'T EXPECT TO BE A CHAMPION 2 WEEKS BEFORE A COMPETITION.... YOU HAVE TO PREPARE FOR MONTHS BEFORE THIS CAN HAPPEN. TRAIN LIKE A CHAMPION.
