How to get a better toe touch
Ok, so my cheerleading season ended for this year and I really want my toe touch to look good for next season which starts in like December so I have about 8 months to improve my toe touch. This is what I really need. I want to get my legs up higher, roll my hips (which I have no idea what that means so if someone could explain it that would be great :D), get my legs straighter, and get good hight in my toe touch. So if someone could please answer this question I would so totally appreciate it :D. Thanks

ive been doing the exactly same thing as you for ages =)remember keep your chest up when doing a toe touch..-point you toes and try to get you legs as far out as possible!-obviously keep splitiing =)... espesially box... and jus sit there in a toe touch position... back stright and everything itll help you posture.. which will help your height =)-generally practise practise practise! the more you jump the better youll get!-make your motions sharp and dont punch out.. it can throw you off a bit.- my squad used to lift us up when we jump (for example, id hold onto you waist and help bring you up when you jump).. its the same kind of height priniple as a trampoline.. but you dont bounce! hehe- dont hold your breath hile jumping... my coach always tells us off for that although im nto sure why.. so yeah dont hold your breath! =D-more practise
-more practis
oh anda lil bit more practise =)
and you totally have a legendary jump =)

I used to be a cheerleader, so I know how hard this can be. On thing they told us to do to work on our toe touches is to try jumping off things & doing them. I would always jump off the steps or the big rocks in my yard. Or if you have a trampoline it's a good way to practice, too.
As for the rolling your hips thing, you basically kind of try to point your toes or knees towards the wall behind you. It's a little confusing, but if you practice you'll get it. Try working on them one step at a time, though. Like first practice on the rolling your hips part, then practice on height. It'll be much easier that way.
