hey, im a cheerleader too and i had the same problem. try to stretch as much as you can... even when your just watching tv or something just sit in a middle split. when your jumping, try to lift through your upper body..if you dont think too much about your legs going high, they will just do it on their own

hey hun! a good way would be to go yoga!! it *def* helps! it will make you more flexiable which will make you be able to jump higher! <3

I used to be a cheerleader and I know that flexiblity REALLY helps your jumps! Make sure you stretch good before you practice and keep working on getting more and more flexible. We never used a trampoline in cheer but we do in dance for our leaps and I know it really helps! Keep practicing! good luck

Im a cheerleader and im 13 my jumps are really high wat i do iz practice ona trampoline its not my trampoline its my friends next door so i would recommend that and stretch your legs a lot b 4 u do jumps so your muscles arnt so tight n they can get higher. Also when u do them make sure u try n jump really high like use all the muscles in your legs!!! Hope i helped

I was a cheerleader 2 years ago and I had the same problem. The way I got better was practicing my jumps on the trampoline and by putting ankle weights on.
The ankle weights give resistance which builds your muscles up as u work on the jumps. This will make your verticle jump better making it easier to do your cheering jumps.
The trampoline just makes you in more control and helps build your muscles.
Or you could put on weights while jumping on the trampoline...

ok i also cheerlead.. im really flexable but i weigh a lot so its harder to jump but anyways.. you need to warmup a lot b4 you jump.. and practice.. if you still cant do it then you just have to work hard and become more flexible!

hope i helped!

well im a cheerleader and i used to have horrible jumps .. you have to stretch!! and once your middle split is decent then try doing "t-jumps" that will increase your height in the jump .. remember to keep you back straight and don't reach for your toes and bend over (bad move) .. a good pointer is to look at something in a far distance upwards and just stare at it and your jump should be higher .. if you have a trampoline you can practice there as well - and dont forget to point your toes! GOOD LUCK! xoxo

leg and hip strength!!!, work on a trampoline, work with weights on your ankles, make sure you are jumping the correct way (off of your toes) and keeping your chest up, work on your flexibility in both splits and pikes, even stretch out your ankles ~ by doing hip strength (such as lying on your back in a straddle and bringing your legs together repeatedly) you will be able to do snap your legs together faster in order to finish the jump before you land, and of course leg strength will give you more power in general (lunges, calf raises, roll backs (start standing, roll back, and jump up -- repeat), etc.....) hope i helped!

just keep practicing and ask one of ur team mates how they do it and ask them to help u .but keep practicing. GOOD LUCK

Cheerleading, my one obsession lol. I have a trampoline and i practice my jumps on there and then practice them on the ground it makes my jumps so much better.

well if you have a trampoline going out on that and jumping would probably improve you're performance
