Why you should join a cheerleading team..

In my opinion, every little girl should try out for cheerleading. Cheerleading is an awesome sport to become involved with. It teaches you how to be part of a team. When you are a cheerleader you have to perform stunts. These stunts usually involve four people. You have two bases, which are girls who are strong and can lift another girl together. And you have a backspot to ensure that the flyer(which is the girl that is being tossed in the air) does not fall and has back support. These four people all have a job and have to work together to perform the stunt safely. Cheerleading is soo much fun but it also teaches young girls so much. Another thing that cheerleading teaches girls is discipline. If you are late to a practice you are going to have to do alot to make it up to the coach no matter who the coach is. You have to keep good grades or you will be kicked off the team. Cheerleading is very demanding. When you try out for the team you have to be able to do certain types of tumbling or "flips". You have to have experience with gymnastics and be able to perform in front of large crowds. Cheerleading can give low self esteem girls confidence. Because once they are performing a well rehearsed routine with a team of girls that has become her best friends then she can feel good about being in front of a crowd. Cheerleading can be a very positive sport to get involved with. It will not only encourage girls to keep their grades up but it will get them more involved with being a team player and give them confidence. Cheerleading is awesome. You get to go on trips all over to perform your routines. You also get to be in all the pep rallies at your school. You also get to go to the football games at home and away to cheer on your school football team. It is a great way to meet people.
