Why you should be a cheerleader

Have you ever wanted to do the splits, a handstand walkover, or even a cartwheel well you should try out cheerleading. Hi im alexis and this is why you should be a cheerleader.

Firstly, It keeps you fit

Have you ever wanted to beat someone in a arm weasel well cheer would make you strong. Personally I train 9 hours a week this includes doing extra practices and private lessons. Cheerleading isn't just dancing dancing with pom poms and doing all different jumps and tumbling also stunting if u dont know what stunting is well ill tell you. Stunting is where you have a back base, two side bases and one front base also the flyer the flyer gets chucked into the air to do their tricks. Well when i say chucked i mean flown by the bases.

Secondly, friends.

At The start of the term I knew absolute nobody But now all 14 people in my team are my friends. You can have team bonding dinners or go to cool places. My team recently went to winnie bagoes for dinner and we had a very awesome time.

As cheerleading isnt as popular in new zealand is it is and america you have to travel further for competitions. But this isn't a bad thing is it. As you would get to experience new places. In 2 weeks time i will be in North shore auckland competing at spring carnival championships. The more I win the further i get to go. A team from my season just competed in china to represent new zealand. Have you ever represented new zealand in anything? Now you have heard all my reasons why i think you should become a cheerleader and who knows we could become great friends too.
