Well I found that if you lie on your back, with arms and legs in a straight line and snap them up to touch that helps.

@everyone get a life 95% of y'all ain't cheerleaders y'all probably watch these videos everyday and call yourselfs a cheerleader so all y'all get ur facts straight

I really want to make freshman cheer but I have not cheered before. Anytips on how to make school cheer?

[GwenShaddow]

@MissDanamonster Yeah... exactly. Your an 11 year old. Different people have different opinions on what IS advanced. Also, it can go either way with the arm position. I mostly see people reaching for their toes. Not a high V. That would look completely stupid and unprofessional..... Also you skipped 5... so I don't think people should be listening to you. Next time get your facts straight before criticizing someone else.

[MissDanamonster]

First of all, no. That is not an "advanced cheer move." Second your arms do not go forward and try to touch your toes; they go up in a high "v" position. Thirdly. you try to keep your back as straight as phisically possible. Fourth, where is your ponytail? Sixthly, you shouldn't be wearing a hoodie or a zipper while doing jumps/stunts. And lastly, all this is coming from an ELEVEN YEAR OLD!!! C'mon, you can't call yourself a cheer coach if you don't know things as simple as a pike.

go you need to help me in person

[LLDancer28]

Except for your legs are supposed to come up to your arms, not your arms and head down to your legs. They should meet in the middle.

Advanced? I'm not trying to be mean, but I learned these when I was 5 in upward cheerleading....

@ForeverOurWorld If you build up leg and core strength it really helps . A good exercise to get higher toe touches is to lie on your back with your arms above your head , and then use your core muscles to snap in to a straddle , and go back down , then repeat several times. It really helped me improve my toe touches :) Also , most coaches care more about motion technique than height , so as long as your techinque is good , you'll do fine .Good Luck at Tryouts, and remember to keep smiling ! <3
