Let’s start from the very beginning? How did you get into cheerleading?
B: I wanted to be a cheerleader because I was always a cheerer. Before I was a cheerleader I yelled from the stands. I finally decided to tryout and become a part of something great. I love the excitement of competitions and the speaker yelling, XPA all stars 1st place!
G: When I was younger I wanted to be a cheerleader mostly because my babysitter and role model was a cheerleader but not only that, when I went to high school football games or basketball games when I was little and saw the cheerleaders do their dance there was something unique about the way they acted towards each other they weren't just friends they were cheer sisters and I wanted superstar girls like that to be my friends as well.
What qualities does it take to be a cheerleader?
G: Cheerleading takes an extreme amount of physical work as well as practice. Most cheerleaders practice an average of 8 hours a week. Cheerleaders have to be in top physical condition. In addition, they are advised to take a variety of dance classes including jazz, hip hop, and ballet.
I’d like you to share one of those funny stories that happen during the competitions.
G: Well, it’s not really a competition story. The 9th grade boys make fun of me and all the others for being cheerleaders. They find it stupid. I told them to watch our routine cause we were amazing. So they did come to see us dance. Our dance routine was superb, the jumps were done perfectly. At the end, we got into our end poses, which were really beautiful. But suddenly one girl doing the scorpion move fell over on top of the girl doing the splits! She couldn't get up, either! The other one in the scorpion position lost her balance and almost fell on top of them both. All the basketball players were laughing, and started making fun of us even more!
B: I was standing on the track at a game and when everyone else turned right I turned left! Another time the same game I couldn't hear anything because of the fans shouting so I started yelling the wrong cheer and everyone started laughing!
