    Cheer Toe Touch!
    Hey! I'm new to this school, and I made friends with all the cheerleaders.
    They wanted me to try out, but I have to wait until next year.
    I'm new to all this cheer stuff and I really want to make the team next year.
    All I really need help with is my toetouch. I've been trying it out. And I can't get that high of the ground, my legs aren't pointed, and my legs don't lock when I land.
    Does anyone have any adivce for me?
    Thanks youu:D

    Practice makes perfect my dear. My daughter is on the varsity cheer team and she practiced for a year before she got picked.

    Toe touches are easy peasy once you get it. Do you have your back handspring yet?

    Why don't you get your cheer friends to help you?

    I did a lot of yoga when I cheerleaded. It helped me be more in tune with my body and better control it.

    It helped me, maybe it can help you.

    As J_9 said practice makes perfect.
