Jumps





In cheer leading there are a few different kinds of jumps such as:
  • Toe-Touch
  • Right/Left Herky
  • Right/Left Hurdler
  • Pike
Each type of jump is different, but all the preps, landings, and endings are all the same. Jumps are done with a certain amount of counts, if you don't get the counts right, then your jump will be off and different from everyone elses'.
It is also important to focus on the height of you jump & all the little imperfections. Every little thing is critical if you're in a competition. You need to be on time with your team, and look the same way as your team. Claps have to be tight & in the right place in front of you. When you are coming down from a jump you need to snap your legs down and make it look clean.

  1. Dear Brittany,
    How do we get our jumps high? What stretches are good for jumps?
