High School School Cheer Prep?

[DonnaM]

CP is trying out for a sideline/game day team for fall. She’s always done competitive rec or All Star. Is there anything she should specifically work on before the clinics/try outs?

*Crowdleading and projection on the sidelines. Not just doing the cheers but perfoming them with spirit/smiling. Giving off the energy that makes people want to cheer with you.

*Hitting strong/tight motions that pop. A little different than some of the motion work in all star that is a bit faster and slightly rushed.

Most all star cheerleaders have the stunting and tumbling covered, but usually need some practice in these areas unless they've cheered for school before.

Mainly what @oncecoolcoachnowmom said. Also something she should work on if she's never cheered formally is her voice when doing a standard cheer. Learning to yell from your diaphragm is really important.

She had her first clinic last night, and really enjoyed it. It seems like Game Day might be a really good fit for her.

Yes, yelling, rather than sounding sing-songy if that makes sense.
