Editorial Reviews

Review

Kids at the middle school level on up - even those not yet on a squad - will benefit from this colorful book, which provides real cheers, jumps and chants to accompany step-by-step instructions and photos by a professional cheerleader. This is more than a book: the kit includes two pom-poms. Not appropriate for a library; but a perfect home book choice. -- Midwest Book Review

4.0 out of 5 stars Good For Beginners:, August 29, 2000

JANICE L HETTLER (New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Cheerleading Book (Paperback)

This book is great for those just starting cheerleading; but for more advanced girls, I'd skip it. It's appropriate for middle school-aged kids. There are clear photos that explain how to do the most basic steps; but when you get to some more difficult jumps, you're pretty much on your own. This book would be good as a companion to formal cheerleading instruction w/ a coach. If you get it, start slowly w/ the stretching and gradually work your way up to the real cheers. And, although this book doesn't mention it, PRACTICE YOUR SPLITS! Another thing this book left out is pyramid formations, but I guess you really can't do those @ home! All in all, it was a good book, and you won't be dissapointed.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Cheerleading Book, February 18, 2001

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The Cheerleading Book (Paperback)

This book wasn't so helpful. I was going into my first year of cheerleading, and I really needed some tips. All this helped my with was stretching! There is no explanations: just pictures of cheerleaders, and the pictures aren't even in color. I don't recommend this book to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent cheerleading book!, July 24, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Cheerleading Book (Paperback)

This book shows motions, jumps, and cool cheer routines. This book is a great supplement to any cheerleaders library of cheerleading books.

This book also comes with pom pons, so you can practice using pom pons when cheering.
