Our First Cheerleading Practice

Hello everyone! Today was our very first cheerleading practice. My whole family (minus Lexi) got involved, and our friends also decided to join. Mom came and took pictures of the practice, so you can see what we did. Briana and I joined Cheer Squad A, and Melodie, Samantha, Hazel and Charlotte are a part of Dance Squad A. The little girls are on the Cheer/Dance Pre-Squad. We all had a lot of fun at our first practice. Here's what we did.

Charlotte and Melodie went early this morning to help set up the sign-up table and register people. Mom took a photo of them waiting for people to arrive.

Here is a picture of our friends warming up. Ella, Elizabeth, Ariana, Ariel and Anna warmed up together, while the older girls warmed up separately.

Mom went to watch Ariana in the Cheer/Dance Pre-Squad. Here, Ariana and Anna are working on doing cartwheels in sync.

Elizabeth, Ariel and Ella were working on being in sync, too. They all have on matching pants.

The Pre-Squad is learning a new cheer.

 "Go, go Lightning!"

"Go go, go Lightning!"

"Goooooo...

Lightning!" 

Aren't they cute.

Mom then came over and watched Cheer Squad A and Dance Squad A. Because the Dance Squad coach is out of town, we were combined for the first rehearsal. We were working on how a cheer would be for a game.

Still getting the basics. We would have pom-poms, but we still haven't gotten our uniforms yet.

The coach said this would be a cheer about the team colors. The Lightning's colors are blue, yellow and white. I wonder what our uniforms will look like?

I can't wait until we learn the words to go with this cheer. Go Lightning!

Coach had us divide into two so we could see how pyramids would work. It was hard to get two girls in the air, but Coach helped us get the basics. I love being a flyer!

We all can't wait for the season to start so we can learn more cheers and get uniforms and pom-poms. I love getting to cheer with my family and friends.

Do you do cheer, or any sport?
