Hi, my name is Lucy Spain on behalf of Expert Village. Here to talk about an introduction
to cheer leading. Now we are ready to learn the materials that we have in our tryouts.
Now the things we are going to learn are a cheer, a dance, a couple of jumps; usually
about 2 sometimes you will get an option of 3 and you can pick your 2. We're also going
to be stunting and tumbling. Now it's really important when you are learning these materials
to pay attention to whoever is leading. It may be a coach or a former classmate. Either
way you need to be quite and respectful. You also have to remember there could be a up
to 150 girls in a gym wanting to learn this routine. Now if you are smart, you are going
to make your way up to the front where you can definitely see whoever is teaching the
motions. It's really important to stay up front if everybody is obviously not going
to be up there at once so you need to make sure you take turns. If someone taps you on
the shoulder asking if they can have a turn, it's also important to learn from the people
who is standing in front of you. If you see a couple of girls who are on the squad before
and they are doing really well, you want to make sure that you are standing directly behind
them so you can copy their motions whatever they are doing. It's going to be a lot easier
that way than if you are standing behind and crowded. Be confident, speak up if you miss
something, don't be afraid to raise your hand say "can you please repeat that", especially
with the dance. Because when there is music going on and we are learning counts, it's
going to be a little more difficult to pay attention but this is your time so don't be
afraid to ask. This is a learning experience for everyone who is there so just go ahead
and do your best make sure you pay attention. Also it's okay to keep a notebook by your
side if you want to write down the words of the cheer that you can refer to later to go
over them, that's important as well.
