Hey guys, its Timmi and Kendall sorry we haven't been posting recently we have been busy with school and promise to try and post more often. But we have a problem we are running out of things to say so if you guys have any ideas please let us know. Thanks so much :)

There isn't just sideline cheerleading, there is also competitive cheerleading. Competitive cheer is exactly how it sounds. Different cheer teams come together to compete against each other. There are 3 rounds to competitive cheer. The first round is only a routine/cheer. Round 2 includes tumbling. And the last round is stunting.

How to Make a Bow

You will need ribbon....

 

Cut your ribbon to 18 inches then fold in half

 

Crease the ribbon real good with your finger

This will be the center of your bow

 

Criss cross the ribbon like so

 

Then you will bring the criss cross part up to meet the top

 

 

Then you will pinch the bow ....you may have to fold it back and forth (think accordion)

 

 

I usually just take a piece of ribbon tie a knot in it and tie it in the middle, but I have been making bows for awhile, if you're new you might want to try a trash tie it will hold your bow for you

 

 

 

 

 

I use a pony tail holder, but you could use a barrette or alligator clip

 

I wrap the ends of the knotted ribbon around the holder and hot glue

 

 

Here is the end result.....don't worry if it doesn't look perfect I'm sure the special girl you made it for will think its beautiful!

These are examples of cheer uniforms, there are many types of cheer uniforms. Some uniforms have skirts with slits in them, some skirts have one cut out triangle on the side, and some skirt don't have cut outs or slits. There are many types of shells, way too many to describe. Usually under your shell there is a crop ( a tight crop shirt with long sleeves and a turtle neck.).

These are arm stretches. They are also VERY IMPORTANT to prevent pulling a muscle. During these stretches pull your arm until you feel a strech in your shoulder or upper arm. Do both stretches with BOTH arms.

 

These are wrist stretches. It is VERY IMPORTANT to stretch your wrist. This is because you could pull a muscle very easily in your wrist if you don`t stretch. On the last picture rotate your wrist in a circular motion while in this position.
