Newbie :D Looking for some positive reinforcement tips/tricks to keep a tiny team (ages 4-6) interested for the full hour.

I've been reading around the board/asking for advice for surviving long choreography sessions. This is my first time attending real structured choreography sessions. I have 3 days that are 4 hours long. Our team mom is providing food for lunch, but I'm guessing it would probably be good to bring...

I have just come back from a cheer camp, it went for 2 days. We did lots of things like stunting, tumbling, jumps, dance, motions and conditioning. Anyway, we did an exercise in conditioning where you lie on your back and lift your legs off the ground in small kicks and you don't let them touch...

does anyone have any tips for teaching a flyer how to do a kick single?

I recently joined my high school cheerleading team for something to do during my senior year. I'm a total newbie to cheer but my coach has high hopes for me she says. I guess my jumps were pretty good for my first week of practice and this week I learned my cartwheel, round off and both front...

I'm going into my senior year and my coach has switched me from a base to a backspot. I backspotted on my team my freshman year, but I was on a different team with girls who were shorter than me basing. I know basic technique (it's also been a few years, so some of that has to come back to me)...

My CP injured her hamstring last cheer season. She struggled through the last few weeks and then had several weeks to rest it. While resting it, she seemed so much better. She started back to practices full force in June but only 1 practice a week, and 2 classes. She was doing very well...

This year I joined a new gym, and I'm flying. I have a really good bow and arrow and heelstretch on my left leg, but they fly on their right leg (at least for libs) and I would really like to improve my flexibility for my heel stretch and bow and arrow. I am stretching everyday but it's not...

hi, I'm new here. I'm trying out for cheer in a few weeks and my parents want to know everything about cheering in college before they let me commit. I may have a lot of questions but they're just very protective of me. If anyone could answer some it would really help :) I guess for starters...

I have my back-handspring, but I am working on perfecting it. I am about to get started on back tucks after I get my round off back handspring, and toe touch back handspring. Also any tips for those skills?

I need somr pointers

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone had any tips or tricks on getting a back handspring. I'm currently working on it, and when I get a bit better I will post a video here to see if anyone has any corrections for me. Thanks for your input! :)

I'm starting to make a stunt group mix for a team I coach. I'm still learning the program but I'm really enjoying it. I'm on mat leave next year, so if I get good at making mixes, I may possibly do some small time mixing for teams in my area. I'm just wondering if anybody has some tips for a...

I have to throw my sbhs in the opening of our routine. I can throw it by myself but once we add it into the routine, sometimes it hits, but sometimes it doesn't. What can I do to make it more consistant? Are there drills I can do to change this? On a different note, I am in the front for jumps...

I have been working on getting my double for a little while now, and I always get stuck around 1 and 3/4 twists, instead of 2 complete twists. I wanted to know if anybody has any really good tips, a good resource to use, or drills that I could do to help me complete the twists. Thank you!

I've been stuck on a half forever. I get half with no problem every time, and sometimes i even get 3/4 but i cannot figure out how to get the full twist in! Am i not spinning fast enough? I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.
