advice

i am new to my high schools cheerleading squad. most of the girls are really good at their round offs, i can do mine but it sucks. i can get my feet together to land at the same time, but my problem is that when i land my feet down, my arm is still on the ground, just like they are after doing a cartwheel. what i need to learn to do is when i land to pull my body up so im not bent over still like kind of so i can fly backwards, and also how to pull my hands off the ground before i actually land, because when i try to pull my hands away i lose my balance or get scared that i will fall on my head. sorry if this is confusing, but any tips?! thanks so much!

Okay.. let me try to explain this.. haha
Alright question one. Before you go on your hands, are you flipping yourself facing the way your coming?
Two. Are you running hard enough? Running hard will just make you land on your feet.
Three. You might not be strong enough. You need to PUSH off the ground once your hands hit. They should only be on the ground for like not even a second. If thats it, Start lifting. Thats what youll have to do. Or just do them A LOT.
Have a girl that is good at them, tell you what your doing. Do it, then have her correct you. Shell probably say you need to get stronger.
I Hope I Helped and when you like leep or whatever to go down on your hands you like twist yourself to where when you put your hands down, your fingers should be ALMOST pointing to the way you came. Look at steps a b c and d
