High School Kind of Cheer?

[cheer_kinda]

Hi, my school is a charter school and we do not have football, so naturally we don't have a real cheerleading team (also because we don't have funding). This year we started a "spirit squad" of sorts, but it's basically a small cheer team. I have a few questions:

1. Tips on how to not be embarrassed? Kids can be mean.
2. Is it normal to cheer at volleyball games?
3. What's a normal number of cheerleaders to send to a game? We have 14 total.

Thanks!

I think a spirit squad is a great idea!
1. Tips on not being embarrassed- use crowd pleasing things! Work on cheers that are fun and precise, you could try some stunting if you have the proper coach. Stunting is always really impressive so try to work on some cool skills. If you have any tumblers make sure to highlight them have them do a back tuck or back handspring on the sidelines!
2.I think it’s completely normal to cheer at girls volleyball games our school does!
3.I would send all of your team to games. Normally everyone in the group comes and supports your team!
Tip- I would definitely do some funding to get real uniforms that are cute and look real. Uniforms make you feel like a team!
