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!

I know exactley what you are saying I get girls and guys who come into my gym ALL the time that have this problume, most of the time it is a bad habbit that you started when you were probally trying to learn them on your own. What I do is lay a mat down folded up hard one, and put your hands on it when your going over, make sure your popping off your hand through your sholders. Make sure your arms are tight, and to be able to keep your legs together, put something in them like a bean bag a small pretty flatt one and make the goal to be to be able to keep it in there the whole time. One of the people below me said to see if you are running enough. That is another big mistake really the only time you run in round offs is when you are connecting them to make a tumbling pass. If you have a good solid round off you should be able to do one without running at all. Another thing is after you are comming out of your round off try re-bounding it which it jumping up with the extra power, try and keep your arms tight and in-line with your shoulders and keep your elbows straight. Sorry this is probally really long and confusing. But it is hard to explain while typing and not being able to show you. But if you need more help or anything or are confussed by what Im telling you then feel free to pm me. Good luck!
