okay. there are many jumps. but the hardest one to get is your toetouch. toetouches are very simple. people say to roll your hips out. and a way to easily do that is when you jump, sit into your jump, like sitting on a chair. then your hips will roll automatically and get very high and good. (remember to point your toes!!!!)
and splits..all u do is STRETCH STRETCH STRETCH!! everyday. and before you know it, you got them!!
splits help your jumps also :]
i'm a cheerleader and this advice helped me! i hope it helped u!!!
if u need anymore help..just contact me!

To do good jumps, you need to develop strength and power in your legs. There are many exercises you can do to strengthen your legs, but the best one is simply jumping! Bend your knees and jump up as high as you can; land it, and do it again, 20 or 30 times in a row. (Be sure not to bounce into the jumps - land each one and then do another). The higher you can jump, the more time you'll have in the air to get your legs up into the position you want.
Besides jumping high, you also need power to snap your legs quickly into position. A good drill for toe touches: standing straight, kick one leg up at an angle, as high and as quickly as you can. Do 20 or 30 repetitions on each leg. Be sure your knee is pointing up to the ceiling, and not sideways toward the wall.
Stretching daily will definitely help you get your splits. Go down as far as you can and hold it for 5 minutes. Each minute, take a deep breath, and as you let it out, go down a little further. If you like to watch TV, you could do this every time a commercial comes on.

Splits help. Even if you can't do them you can still have really good jumps. But you should be flexible because being flexible in cheerleading is very very good. When you wake up, do the splits each way and just stretch out. Hold it maybe for 10 seconds. Do the same before bed. Repet every day and night. You should be getting more and more flexible. To help with jumps you should do some of the trampoline. You can get high enough to have good form on the trampoline. Then when your form is right, keep practicing them on the ground! Practice makes perfect, seriously. You'll need strong legs and a stomach for good jumps so the more you do the better.

streatching daily definately helps. And practice the jumps daily also. Theres this stretch u need a partner for . You and your partner face each other and you put your hands on their shoulders the grab your waist and you jump. your partner lifts you up and you push down on their shoulders as you do the jump. This should help your jumps get higher. hope I helped.

the best way to get better is yes, to stretch daily. but don't overstretch and hurt yourself.
try this:
each day, get into the right splits and hold for a minute or so, just as far as you can go without it hurting, like to your limit. after that minute, take a break for a few seconds, then get back into the splits and push farther, so that it doesn't exactly hurt, but it pulls a little, and hold that for 30 seconds. then repeat with the left leg and the middle.
that'll help with your jumps.
you might be sore for a while after you first start out, so maybe try to hold for 30 seconds, then push for 15 or something.
Hope I Helped. <3
