Chelsea Donaldson answered “How do you keep your arm movements straight and exact?” She said:
A lot of cheerleading motions do not feel natural until you've been doing them for a while. Often, motion positions can feel correct, but aren't. When hitting any motion, you want there to be a straight line from the middle of the knuckle on the back o... Continue reading »

Chelsea Donaldson answered “How to do a front walkover” She said:
Practice standing up from a bridge without the walkover. You've probably lost some flexibility, but don't worry, it's easy to get back.
The closer you can walk your hands to your feet in your bridge (i.e. the more flexible you are), the easier it wil... Continue reading »

Chelsea Donaldson answered “I am coaching 4-6 year olds for the first time. How many cheers can they remember? Should we play games at practice or just cheer?” She said:
I think games are a great idea, but I usually save them for the end of practice (They always leave feeling positive and excited to come back). I like to play "Coach says" with lower levels because it is a fun way to learn the basics. It's just like "Si... Continue reading »

Chelsea Donaldson answered “DO YOU HAVFE TO BE ABLE TO DO A TOE TOUCH TO ORDER TO MAKE IT IN VARISY CHEER?” She said:
The coach will most likely let everyone know at a meeting or at tryouts if there are any absolute requirements (i.e. "We won't accept anyone on Varsity without a toe touch"). Most programs do an overall tryout score and take the highest scoring athlete... Continue reading »

Chelsea Donaldson answered “im a coach for the first time, i have girls for 5 to 7 years old. how simple should i keep it?” She said:
That's tough to say. It really depends on the group. I had girls ages 5 - 10 (which is too big a gap, if you ask me) and the 5 yr olds were barely grasping the material while the 8 + crowd was bored.
Keep it very simple to start, and see how it goes. I... Continue reading »December 07, 2009 -

Chelsea Donaldson answered “What does the "x" in a cheer mean?? I thought either a pause or clap?” She said:
It can mean any of those things.
Go x Go Big Red x x x
Something like this ^ could be pauses, could be clapping ON the pauses, or could be clapping on the words with no pauses.
You don't have to do a cheer the way that someone else intended. See ... Continue reading »November 25, 2009 -
Chelsea Donaldson answered “Is a two step pyramid illegal?” She said:
With shoulder stands, it's called a 2-2-1, and it's legal in college (and maybe high-level all-stars?). The rule for high school is that a base must have at least one foot on the floor/ground at all times. Since the bases for the third level have their... Continue reading »
