How to Improve Your Cheerleading Jumps Today with these Top Practice Tips from Expert Cheer Coaching Coaches

Would you love to improve your cheerleading jumps? All it takes is practice, practice and more practice! So here are some things to remember when you are practicing:

1. The way you practice is the way you will perform! If you practice “half way” then when you perform your jumps, they will not be their best.
2. Practice in front of a mirror: This way you can see what your jumps look like.
3. Practice smiling: By doing your facials (facial expressions) in front of a mirror you will automatically smile during your jump execution.
4. Practice on the ground: There are several jumps that you can practice while sitting on the ground including the Tuck Jump and the Toe Touch. This technique will allow you to feel what it should be like in the air.
5. Practice on various surfaces: When you practice on a variety of floors including spring floors, grass and on mats, you be able to perform anywhere and you will build strength in your legs ( jumping on a spring / competition floor is much easier than jumping on grass ).

Cheerleading Formation Ideas, Tips and More!

Why do you need formations in your routines?  Well, it makes your routine more interesting.   Above is a routine that uses several formation changes - they also use variations on the "bowling pin" formation.   What do you think the routine would look like if they only stayed in the first formation?  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.
