Today's Objectives (from board)
Today I will learn about cheerleading stunts.
My job today is to practice safety.
Cheer Assignment:
Design your own cheerleading uniform.
What we did today;
-Review of material
-Demonstration of body positions for flyers (stag, lib, arabesque, heel stretch)
-Important cheerleading terms (base, flyer, spot)
-Demonstration of lunge position for thigh stand, bases and flyers
-Importance of feet placement (‘pocket’)
-Cheer Homework: Practice flyer positions above and also lunge for thigh stand. For flyer positions practice by using a chair for balance or hold onto the wall until you can hit the position without falling.
Reminder, next week we have practice on Tuesday and also on Thursday. The following practice, March 3rd will be the last time we meet. We will have a short demonstration of our cheerleading skills for parents and then have a cheer party. Information will be forthcoming.
