How to Make a Cheerleading Squad Better

Cheerleading squads fail for a variety of reasons. The squad may suffer from disorganization or a lack of commitment from squad members. Another common problem involves a lack of training. To make your cheerleading squad better and excel, incorporate these techniques.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Organize your cheerleading squad. Set some guidelines for your cheerleading squad. You should decide on the number of team members, participant's ages and skill levels. Set regular mandatory practice sessions and organize the squad by picking captains.

2. Hold competitive tryouts. If you want a better cheerleading squad, you should select the best possible team members. Hold clinics before the tryout to work with the participants on their cheers and stunts.

3. Bring in outside help. If your cheerleading squad's struggling in certain areas, bring in extra help to train the team. You may want to hire a choreographer or a stunt coach to improve your team's skills.

4. Teach your cheerleading squad difficult moves. You'll get a reputation for being the best squad around if you challenge yourselves. Work with your flyers and other stunt team members to complete jumps and throws that showcase your team's skills.

Tips & Warnings

• Require that team members abide by team rules. They should keep their uniforms clean and pressed. Also, makeup and hair should be impeccable. Hand out a set of rules before you start practices.
• You should also encourage your squad to keep their energy up. Nothing is more appealing than a high energy squad with projecting voices and lots of smiles.
