Sideline cheerleading is mainly for football and basketball, so sideline season would be football and basketball season. In sideline cheer, you generally learn a large amount of different cheers/chants that you have to call out. This is basically to just get the school, and fans excited and full of spirit & make them want to support your team. It will also help to get the football/basketball players full of energy knowing that they have a crowd that's supporting them. In sideline season, you go to a cheerleading summer camp where you learn a whole bunch of new cheers, techniques, and skills to carry on and take back home with you. You also learn a bunch of new stunts and things. Sideline season is usually the season where everyone first comes together and gets to know each other & gets the chance to see how their team is, so they can develop a trusting relationship with them. I was on sideline seasons for two years & I have to say it was really fun.
Competitive Cheer is completely different from sideline cheer. Sideline cheer is no where near as strict as competitive. Competitive cheer consists of 3 rounds.- chants
- skills
- stunting
the first round is basically just a chant & cheer. The second round is mainly focused on skills such as splits, jumps, and flips. & the last round is focused on stunting.
Competitive cheer is very critical. You get point deductions for the smallest things, that's why practicing & trying your hardest is the best option.
When I did competitive cheer we got point deductions for the stupidest things. There are so many things that you have to know, did you know there is such thing as an illegal cartwheel? Who knew a cartwheel of all things has only a certain way of doing it.
