The Cheerleaders

attending. He and I were very close therefore, when he tried out for the football team that’s when I left my first clique to hang out with his group of friend which were considered the jocks. Oddly enough that’s when I met my best friend, she was a cheerleader, and convinced me to try out for the junior varsity cheer team. Considering how shy I was at the time, my mom thought it would be a great idea…

energy you need to learn your routines, practice them and successfully execute them during a large, long competition. Cheerleaders need to maintain a healthy body weight, and eat a certain number of calories from specific kinds of foods to sustain energy levels. The sport of cheerleading involves tumbling, dance, Stunts, strength skills and requires significant athleticism. A cheerleader may be on her feet for the entire routine, which can often last several minutes, the routines are high speed…

start of all star cheer. UCA is bound to the safe practice and instruction of cheerleading. They started summer camps and clinics in 1975. Ever summer since camps have been located at college campuses all over. In conclusion UCA cheerleaders are leaders! " We are cheerleaders. We're the most spirited, the most energetic, the most fun and contrary to belief pretty darn organized" (Goto 64). The Universal Dance Association has expanded over the years, but not nearly as UCA. UDA is built on more…

varsity cheer team. While the last week in September we started trying out. I swear that whole week I felt sick and could not eat anything unless I wanted it to come right back up! After school we went straight to practice until 5:30. The older cheerleaders took this to heart and got so mad at us when we started joking around. While we was sitting in this little class room about to sweat to death we wait until our coaches tell us what to do. Everyone looked up to these coaches for some reason…

was formed cheerleaders did more than just perform sexy dance routines. Cheerleaders incorporated their difficult stunts and tumbling maneuvers into short routines that took great amounts of energy. Nancy Hogshead-Maker stated that “cheerleading must have the same focus on competition, same criteria for winning/losing, and same head-to-head competition that other sports do to be considered a sport (“Is Cheerleading a Sport, Probably Not,” 2009, para. 3).” After NCA was formed, cheerleaders began…

Varsity suggests this is how cheerleading started. Women weren’t permitted to cheer until 1923. In 1948, Lawrence Herkimer held the first cheerleading clinic and he created the ¨herkie jump¨ that modern cheerleaders today are still familiar with. Cheerleading was happening in almost every high school and elementary school in the 1960’s. Jeff Webb founded the Universal Cheerleading Association, also known as, UCA. UCA taught more elaborate skills, essentially…

even think cheer isn’t a sport but I would beg to differ. Cheerleaders have a high chance of getting just as sweaty, tired, and hurt as you can in other sports. Cheerleaders can’t be afraid to perform in front of people because we have to be loud and proud of our team. Practice gets tough when you have to do painstaking stretches, many difficult jumps, then, depending on the day, stunts or cheers. To begin cheer practice, all us cheerleaders get changed, head to the auxiliary gym, then start…

waiting for the perfect moment. As she’s getting in her zone I sit back and relax, I don’t know how but I could just tell she was ready. Now I’ve been in the cheer industry for a while, I’ve seen plenty of cheerleaders come and go. They see me as just a cheer mat but I see them as amazing cheerleaders, I would give anything to have legs and arms so I could tumble around. Now don’t get me wrong I love what I do but sometimes I get a little jealous. Alright back to Molly, she looks back behind…

The character I would prefer to be is Penn Web For many Different reasons.First I would rather be Penn Web since throughout a massive portion of the story Crash always seeks to cause Penn Web misery and this type of behavior is something I detest."All last year we tormented Webb". This quote shows that Crash had no problem causing pain to Webb. The Second reason I would rather be Penn Web then Crash Coogan is that Penn Web shows some admirable traits for example like positivity. Even though…

Alyssa Roenigk, a senior writer for ESPN, presented an argumentative article, “Sorry, Cheerleading is not a Sport,” which opened a pivotal argument on cheerleading being classified as a sport. Roenigk states that all cheerleaders are athletes, but cheerleading should not be considered a sport. Why is this? Roenigk claims that sports teams are made to compete, to go against another team to win, not to entertain the crowd. Although Roenigk tries to persuade her audience that cheerleading does not…
