Football Games?

Well football games are FUN! The worst thing about them is cheering at home games; those are a bummer. Although they can really be fun sometimes. Away games are probably the most fun; cause the bus ride home ;) we sing, we dance, we eat and thats just a ton of fun. This year the varsity football team was division champs; pretty cool. The JV football team was pretty good this year; i was surprised. During half time us cheerleaders do a performance for the fans, its the worst when it's rainy out. Thats all.

competition

Competition is a time when all cheerleaders start to worry that their mounts wont work, their jumps wont be good enough, they wont be loud enough, there wont be enough tumbling and that they wont have enough spirit. Warm-up and practice time is the worst everyone gets crabby if things don't go right. Then you go to the gym and wait to be called on deck. Once your called on deck you walk and wait for the team ahead of you to finish. Staring at the crowd as you walk up is very nerve wrecking. The judges stare at you and you know you have to make a good impression. Once your finished performing you feel so much better, and you don't have to worry about being nervous. After awhile of waiting its time for awards. Awards make me crap my pants, not literally. When you find out the results you will either be happy, sad or mad. In the end you know you did good and thats all that matters.

About Cheerleading

Cheerleading is for both girls and boys to enjoy themselves. To me cheerleading is only a sport when it comes to competitions. Cheering at a game is just for practice and fun. My favorite part about cheering is doing mounts. I am a flyer which means I'm the person who goes in the air. Also this past year i started to base people which means i put people up in the air as well. In cheerleading it takes a lot of effort and energy. You have to be dedicated to what your doing and believe in yourself. For an example you have to be dedicated so that when your stunting you don't injure anyone by dropping them. You have to believe in yourself so that at competition you have confidence instead of none. Tumbling is a huge part of cheeleading. Although not every cheerleader can tumble its best to have at least one person on the team who can. Your score at competitions will increase if you have advanced tumbling. Overall cheerleading can be exhilarating if you are dedicated and believe in yourself. Anyone can do it you just have to have your mind set to it.
