Admit it, when you are doing your homework, you can’t help but check your phone to look at your twitter timeline. Oh, and your best friend just uploaded 97 new photos from cheer camp on Facebook. Social media is addicting, and we are all guilty when it comes to checking it constantly. Why not put your addiction to good use and use social media to benefit your squad?
Having a squad Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, can be beneficial to your squad members, the student body, and the community. It’s a great way to show the world what your squad is doing, whether it’s preparing for the first game, working on that new stunt for nationals, or putting on a pep rally at the local nursing home. It’s also a great way to let squad members know what to they should be prepared for at the next practice, what to wear to the game, and to get them pumped up in general! I love following other squad’s twitters to see what they are up to, and getting ideas from them!
Social media is also great for letting the community know you have events coming up that they can participate in. If you are hosting a cheerleading clinic, chances are your followers will be interested and will be able to spread the word through social media!
The person behind it all needs to be someone outgoing that is capable of posting content regularly that the followers will enjoy. It is important to build up the follower base to get your word out. Just think, the more followers you have, the more successful your events will be! Be sure to interact with your followers and keep them interested.
