Our school dosent have a cheerleading squad so i wanted to start one.
We wouldn compete or anything, we would just go to our school's basketball and soccer and volleyball games and stuff.
Any advice on how t start them?
I talked to our school principal and she said it was fine as long as out outfits covered our knees... any ideas on how to do that and still make it cute?
Our school colors are orange and black
or navy and white
To get the squad started: Here's a couple things to think about and talk over with your principal:
1) Is there a teacher willing to sponsor the cheer squad and attend practices/games?
2) When and where would the squad practice?
3) Would the squad be open to anyone, or be limited to a certain number (and therefore require a tryout)?
If you have tryouts:
4) Who would judge the tryouts? Who would organize it and make up the tryout cheers, etc? [Idea: you could contact the cheerleaders at a nearby school; maybe their senior cheerleaders would be willing to make up a tryout cheer, teach it to the girls, and even judge the tryout. They might even be willing to hold a clinic to teach the new squad some cheers.]

If you have to have the skirts down to your knees, you can make no sleeve, and a little v neck top. not porno v neck, cute v neck. i dont think that will be a problem though, just make everything else look cute, like use glitter for your eyes, hair etc...get pom poms, get a teacher if you can to really get the whole club in order...this will make everyone listen to you more. also, try to get someone to teach your new squad how to cheer haha :-] and also, set up a practice schedule, game schedule, and have a tryouts date, and judging team with you.
GoOd LuCk!!!
ps
also set up a breakfast for the people trying out and have a fundraiser too for uniforms and stuff [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
