Understanding the Sport of Cheerleading!
Hello NCS Parents,
It has come to our attention that we have many first year cheerleaders this season, do you know what first year cheerleaders mean? First year parents! We hope that this comprehensive guide will be one of many installments that will help you to better understand and allow you to actively participate in our competitive sport.
Basic Rules for Stunting:
1. No one should talk while stunting except the Coach or Third Base (Back spotter)
2. The Third Base (Back Spotter) is the most important person in all stunts. They are in control of the stunt.
3. The Third Base (Back Spotter) calls everything while stunting. (What stunt is being performed, when to start, when to break, when to cradle, etc.)
4. Every stunt should be done to a count so that everyone has the same timing.
5. Everyone should know what position they are and what their job will be during the stunt. (They should realize that each position is important.)
Flyer (Top Person, Climber, Mounter, Partner)
Things a Flyer needs to know how to do.
--Flyer should know how to fall.
--Flyer should not let their feet go more than shoulder width apart.
--Primary beginning drill for a flyer is the step/lock technique.
--Flyer must know when, where and how to place her hands, feet, and other body parts on the bases and be able to maintain balance.
--Flyer should not bottom out but hold her weight in her arms.
--For shoulder level stunts, Hang Drills help the flyer to understand weight control and not "bottoming out". [Hang drill is wehre the flyer puts her hands on the shoulders of 2 basses. The back spotter has her hands on the weist of the flyer. The flyer jumps up and hold her legs bent in the air and distributes all of her weight into her arms. **As progression occurs, flyer needs to understand and master body alignment**
--Flyer should always keep their shoulders and hips square as though their body is in a "Cylinder" (Cylinder Concept) that prevents their body from falling out of alignment, and falling out of the stunt
Base (Bottom Person, Primary, Secondary)
Things Bases should know...
--Bases should know how to catch.
--Bases should stand no further apart than the width of the flyer''s shoulders.
--Bases need to control their hips in order to maintain stability and balance.
--Bases should bend their knees and distribute their weight over their knees, ankles and toes to keep their back straight.
--Bases should not lean forward when the flyer loads into hands or when catching.
--Bases should not back up while stunting.
[A good beginning drill for the bases is pretending the stunt without the flyer. Often the back spotter can be the "Pretend Flyer" by using hands as the flyer and press down.]
Dismounts: (Step Off, Shove Wrap or Pencil Drop & Cradle)
Step Off:
A.) This is where the basses have hand to hand contact with the flyer to assist on the dismount.
B.) Flyer must keep body aligned and tight.
C.) Bases and Back Spotter must help to absorb the flyer''s weight on the dismount.
Shove Wraps:
A.) The back spot and the 2 primary bases bend their knees and push the flyer''s feet together.
B.) The flyer stays locked as her feet come together and drops straight down.
C.) The flyer should get her arms either clasp overhead or straight forward for this dismount.
D.) The bases and back spotter bear hug the flyer on the way down.
Cradles:
