“Cheerleading is about tumbling.”
By Mack | November 1, 2006
It was funny.
My friend, Jason has a way with words that is humorous. We were talking at the foodcourt in a local mall and we got to talking about coaching gymnastics which led to cheer tumbling.
He said, “Cheerleading is about tumbling. I don’t care what anyone says. Look, let’s say someone walks on the team, knows nothing about cheerleading, a gymnast; but She can throw double full. Which team do you think she’ll be on?”
I laughed through my smile, “Senior Advanced.”
“Exactly. Now, let’s say someone who’s a really good cheerleader; awesome dancer, good base, sharp positions, everything. But she can’t do a back handspring. Which team do you think she’ll be on?”
I smiled and nodded.
