CHEER IS PASSION CHEER AT BIG AIR

~ CHEERLEADING ~

You might already know this but one of my many favorite things to do is CHEERLEADING!
I do Cheerleading at Big Air gymnasium and my team name is Zeal I go on Mondays at 6:00 to 8;00 and Saturdays 1:00 to 3:00
I love big air because

  • The coaches are so nice 
  • The gymnasium is so big 
  • Going to comps ( I have one in July )
  • They make really good routines 
  • I do it with my friends 
  • The team is so nice 
  • you can learn new things like Basic gymnastic skills, tumbling,s stunts, dance routines, friendship, learn how to teach other people things that you learn, teamwork 

But most importantly you have fun 

First you start of at the start of the year learning basic training than when you get to further on in the year you start learning the routines  


Learning your basic training

Learning you basic training is when you first start you come in and do 10 laps around the gym floor because the gym floor is lined with tap its created lines and in those lines we do warm ups then we all line up to do warm ups in the first line and we do about 5 or so lines then you get into windows position and the front row turns around and stretching we do a good 20 minutes on stretching.

The Routines
The routines are choreographed with music dance, stunts, sassiness, tumble after you learn the routine you will go to many advents and preform the routine in front of harsh judges. because of my level some of the things we know are illegal because what level I am in I am in youth level 2 you can preform in many different places like the ASB sport centre and over sea's in America because Cheerleading is more common over there


Overall I LOVE Cheerleading!

~ Reflection
Its been about four weeks now, and this school is AMAZING
I found the task system interesting I have never had anything like this before it is hard in some places and some times you can get a bit behind but its good it teaches you many things like on time and to use you're time wisely overall I really like it! but apart from the fact you can get really stressed because you've got so much to do!
Some challenges for me have been getting in to librarian and getting to know everybody in the class but I think I am doing well because everybody is so nice.

Anything I would change I don't think I would change anything, maybe just the year 7&8 classes doing more together.
