I was just wondering. Is it possible to be a cheerleader if you're not flexible?

i dunno if it will make u feel bad but i think cheerleading is about FLEXIBILITY...

i think you would need to be for all those flips or whatever cheerleaders do.

It is possible to be a cheerleader if you aren't flexible. It doesn't hinder you from doing cheers, dances, or stunts...but i mean it's a big plus if you are flexible. you prob should work on it, cuz your jumps get better. and you won't hurt yourself in any of the stunts. Try stretching just for 30 min a day..it'll help you alot.
This might need to go in the sports forum

^^
agreed, it's not actually necessary but it helps a lot in being able to do more things and with more ease and whatnot.

Im a cheeerleader but im not flexible.so yeah it's possible..

well u dont have to b if u want to b a freshman cheerleader BUT now for JV&Varisty backhandspring is a MUST .. im tryin to learn coz ima freshman cheer so im tryin to do the backhandspring durin summer -- take classes or something

yea. you just cant do anything but say the cheers. kinda boring if you ask me.

ya of course youd just have to stick to mounting

It's possible, but it's not going to be as fun. I mean, you don't have to do splits or anything, but you should atleast have some flexibility.

cheerleaders are hot.

sure

why not?

Dont know, dont care. then again I aint a big fan of em NE wayz

the more you do it the more flexible you will get

no you dont. I knew this girl who had no flex whatsoever...wasn`t the best cheerleader, but oh well. Plus it`s not all flexibility you can be like peppy or w/e...that`s all I got im no cheerleader sorry

i think you do have to be pretty flexible.. most of my friends that are cheerleaders are flexible and do gymnastics.. i wudnt kno im a bball/vballl/track kinda person

Yeah to be a cheerleader, you should know how to be flexible all the time because there's a lot of cartwheels, backhand spring blah blahs... you know what I mean. Yeah, so it's like a hard thing if you are not flexible. I am not flexible at all, but I used to. Back then, I exercised a lot, but these days -- barely. Always staying home and just dancing haha... yeah anyways, are you a cheerleader right now?

Yea you dont need to be flexible, but it does help if your the flyer so you can do scale`s, healstreche`s etc. But no im not that flexible myself and im a cheerleader. Also it might help with your jump`s and stuff. But your bigest concern is being stiff and locked all the time.
