cheerleading round offs
I made my high school's jv cheers team this year.
We've been practicing quite a bit on tumbling and we go to a tumbling class once a week. Every girl on my team except a few can do a super great round off. My cartwheel is pretty much perfect, but my round off sucks. The thing is I can't seem to get my other leg around quick enough to land on both feet, it usually ends up turning into a retarded cartwheel lol. I just need some advice on how to get my round off down, and to get my leg over fast enough before I land. I practice a lot, and I'm not scared of trying something new to make it work, so any tips would be great thanks! Also, don't tell me to use a lot of power, because I do that and it doesn't help. :]

Maybe give some free advice about: Sports?
As soon as you push off the ground then you should have your legs together, the power part is through your arms so I really doubt it is there, but I cant see what you are doing but you might ask the coach, for seguesttions.

try it bouncing on a trampoline... like do it pushing off on two feet there.. its a little akward at first but it improved my roundoff alot (I had a good roundoff before but it game more more air) also try tying your legs together so you are forced to land together... it may be harder to get the inial push off but if will help you get the idea but
(and doing running is easier than doing it standing)

Well this is kind of hard to explain ;) but i am going to try my best. I am thinking if you can do a cartwheel then you can do a round-off so i don't think its a power issue. What I think is that you are getting your legs together to late. As soon as you push off with your right/left leg and your legs are diagonal get them together. I just did this like 5 times following this advice and it worked for me and I have good round-offs. Hope this helps you out and congratulations on making the team.
