Cheerleading Formations

Have you incorporated lots of formation changes in your routines?  Do you need some tips?  Well, here are some things to consider when choosing your formations:

 

1. How many team members do you have?

2. How many formations do you want in 1 chant / cheer or dance?

3. Order your formations so that the change or transition between formations will be as invisible as possible.

4. Remember, formations are seen from all sides.

5. Think about the placement of each cheerleader.  For example, keep stunt groups together, stronger dancers in the front, etc.

6. To make your formation even more exciting, add level changes.  For example, in a Bowling Pin formation, have the cheerleaders in the first few rows on their knees.

Stretching for Cheerleaders

Stretching is a very important part of your conditioning.  It can improve your jumps, help to prevent injuries, as well as improve your flexibility.  Here are some tips to remember when stretching:

 

 

Stretching Tips:

• Always warm up first.
• Stretch BEFORE your full practice.  A good warm up will make all the difference in your performance.
• Stretching AFTER your practice is extremely important too.  Hold your stretches LONGER during your cool down as this is the time you gain flexibility in your muscles.
• Stretch to the point of mild discomfort, not pain.
• Hold each stretch for 15 to 20 seconds.
• Repeat each stretch 2 to 5 times, trying to stretch a little further each time.
• Do not bounce while you are stretching.
