VJ Knights - Blog

Wanted: Daring, Spirited and Passionate Victorians to be part of the Knights Family!

What do cheerleaders do?

1. We perform stunts - from basket tosses to building pyramids. Such stunts are unique to cheerleading, hence the sayings "Cheerleaders are angels, we are the only humans who can fly," and "Wimps lift weights, cheerleaders lift people."
2. We do gymnastics. Cartwheel, back handspring, round off, front walkover - you name it, cheerleading has it. 
3. We dance. Not just your ordinary folk dancing or feminine ballet, we have our own unique hip-hop-inspired high-energy cheer dances, injected with doses of kick-ass toe touches (highly appealing to male cheerleaders for they sure impress)! 
4. We have PTs - physical trainings. From simple crunches and push-ups to handstands and plyometrics, we aim to tone every single part of our bodies (if possible) and become super-fit. :D Yes, if you're still stereotyping cheerleaders, we are NOT weak. Far from it. 
5. We strrreeeetch. Flexibility is important in preventing injury and improving muscle coordination for Cheerleading.
6. We cheer!!! Obviously, a cheerleader has gotta cheer. And as Victorians, this is one thing we sure do excel in. And if you happen to be a guy, a wondering guy, no, pom-poms do not apply to all cheerleaders!

Hey we sound pretty much like all-rounders eh? ;)
