A Rest Position is what your team should do between cheers / chants and while you are watching the game (yes you want to watch the game so you know what is going on and when to do the appropriate chants ). You want every cheerleader to do the same motion; this way your team looks clean and professional. Below is a common Rest Position that you can do standing up at a football game.
