Cheerleading....A Sport?

These days, cheerleading is definitely considered to be a sport. There is no way you could possibly be a cheerleader if you are not athletically prepared. Cheerleaders ar required to do mounts where they either hold another squad member up, or actually do the climbing to the top of a pyramid, press, or shoulder stand. They must have the endurance to perform a dance routine in front of a crowd or for competitions for at least five minutes or more. They must memorize sideline cheers and performance cheers and learn the art of synchronization. And finally, they are required to do gymnastics stunts, such as dive rolls, back handsprings, and jumps like toe-touches, which require enormous strength. A typical cheerleader warm-up BEFORE practice consists of the following:

Leg stretches
Push-ups
Sit-ups
Jumping jacks
Waist stretches
Step jumps (for calf muscles)
Heel stretches
Running for 10-20 minutes

These are the usual stretching and warm-up exercises that ATHLETES must do before attempting their sport of choice. Cheerleading is no different!

Wierd Skin Fungus is more common than you may think.

If one of your cheerleaders appears to have a wierd skin infection, do not allow them to continue practicing. It is quite possible that it may be ringworm (tinea), a highly contageous skin fungus that spreads by simple touch. Fortunately it can be easily trated and dealt with. Avoid infecting your entire squad and sent the cheerleader home. For more ringworm information you may want to visit http://www.1-ringworm.com .

Healthy Diets and coaching your kids

As a cheerleading coach, you should be able to educate the kids on your cheerleading squad about healthy diets and the dangers of certain weight loss plans. As a coach yourself you should strive to set a good example with your healthy lifestyle. You may want to learn about the various weight loss diet plans. Some coaches have lost a ton of weight with a gastric bypass pill called Zetacap

Choose Your Own Songs for your cheerleading music

At cheerleading-music-mix.com you have the option of choosing particular songs that will go into your mix. If you do not specifically add songs, we will pick all of the songs that will go into your cheerleading music mix. If there are songs that you want inlcuded into the mix all you have to do is "add a song" ($50 per song) and we will include up to 6-8 counts of the song in a remixed form.

Avoid Poms at competition for cheerleading cheer

Avoid the use of pom-pons in the cheerleading cheer portion of your routine. Generally speaking, pom-pons are very "old-school". The use of poms wil not impress the judges or score extra points in most venues. Poms create problems when used in a routine because cheerleaders can never get them totally off of the mat and then they become a distraction or a safety violation.

Do an all-music routine without a cheer if possible

Do an all music routine if you are allowed to. Having to do a cheerleading cheer in the middle of your routine will drop the energy of the routine. If you still want to incorporate a cheer into the routine, cheer over a lower volume beat. Keep this type of cheer limited to two to three eight counts.
