Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Lucy Spain on behalf of Expert Village here to talk about cheer leading competitions. Now that we set out whole routines, we want to make sure that we practice it as much as possible. So the first thing you want to do is practice it within your normal practices it's going to be tiring to do the routine. So you want to make sure that you give yourself some time to rest and the go back to it. A great way to practice your competition routine is at games and half time shows. When you are practicing it at a half time show or a game in front of your school, you want to make sure that you measure the gym and tape off the boundaries cause once you learned your competition rules you are going to find out what your space is. If you step in even one inch out of your boundaries in competition, this is going to cost you points. So it's really important to go ahead and practice that especially when you are landing tumbles and stunts. You really need to make sure you are solid; you are not going to fall out of boundaries. It's also important to do a full out with your spirits so when you take the floor you need to do it with authority. You need to practice taking it with spirit and make sure you practice setting yourself quietly with your head down getting ready for the routine to start. You should also practice full out in your uniforms that you will be wearing to competition with your hair and everything ready the same way it's going to be in competition just so you can get a feeling for it as real as possible."
