Tumbling

A back handspring is the first "flip" a cheerleader works on in tumbling. Tumbling is a huge part of a cheer leading routine, and it is a good thing to have when trying out for a team. There are many different skills a cheerleader can have. There is a back handspring, a back tuck, a layout, a full, and many more. Accomplishing new skills takes a lot of time and hard work.

This is a diagram of what a back handspring is and how you should be when doing one.

What Keeps me interested in Cheering

My friend was the first one to introduce cheer leading to me. That was 6 years ago and I still love cheering today. It is my favorite sport because it is something that you have to work hard at, if you want to win. When you do win a competition, it is the best feeling in the world because you know that all of your hard work has payed off. I have made many friends through cheering and learned so much. It has taught me how to be determined and how to work with a team. In order for a routine to work the way it is supposed to everyone has to give 100% In a cheering routine there are jumps, stunts, dance, and tumbling. My favorite part of cheering is tumbling, but it takes a lot of hard work to be able to perform a new skill. 

Introduction

My Name is Emily and I am a High School student in Maine. I was on Varsity for the competition cheering team at my school last season. I have been cheering for 6 years, and it is my favorite sport. I have learned a lot through cheer leading and I think that it is a good sport for everyone to try. In my Blog, I am going to talk about what cheer leading is, and about different cheer leading teams.

Competition cheer leading is a sport that takes strength, coordination, and teamwork. It is a sport for both boys and girls of all ages. In competition cheering, teams compete with 3 minute routines in front of judges. Teams are split into different divisions determined by age or skill level. The cheerleaders are scored on their jumps, dance, tumbling, stunts, synchronization, and overall affect. The team with the highest score wins the competition. Competition cheer leading is a fun and challenging sport for girls and boys of all ages.
