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.

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.

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.

I loved the book! I have been on the varsity squad since my freshmen year, and now I am in 11th grade. About a couple of days ago we had practice and our coach let us have a peek, because we are going to camp in a couple of weeks!!! I recemend this book to who ever wants to be cheerleader or is a cheerleader.

This book was really awewsome. If you are just trying out for cheerleading it is soooooo helpful. its teaches you jumps, chants and cheers. Most people think of cheerleaders as ditzy, but if they were a cheerleader they would understand it is not that easy. Next to basketball and track/x-country it is the best sport. If you are a cheerleader or considering tryingout i really recommend it!

I have been cheerleading for several years and just starting coaching. Being a first time coach I figured that this book would have given me new ideas and reminded me of things that I forgot, but I learned nothing from this tiny book. When I say tiny, I mean 119 small pages of just space being taken up by really boring material. If you already know the basic motions, don't buy it. If you done a couple chants before, these chants are just unoriginal and just not exciting. We are cheerleaders! We're not suppose to put people to sleep. They give you examples of some cheers with motions, but its so boring. The jumps that they show you in here, you could figure out for yourself. BUT if you are a beginner and you want to know how to do some stuff, go for it, but don't try out with this material. You'll put the coaches and the team to sleep. This is no good. Anybody could have whipped this book together in an hour. Lame, lame, lame.

Dear readers,

I think that if you want to be a cheerleader you need to get up & go for it. There is so many people who want to be cheerleaders,thats why you've got to try your best. This book helps you with cheers, chants, warm ups, motions,last but not least jumps. When you get your don't over do it with the streches or jumps. It is so important that you practice until at least 3 times a week. Until you got everything it takes to become an awesome cheerleader. I recommend this book to young cheerleaders. REMEMBER KEEP YOU MOVES TIGHT! thats important.

This book has great pictures, it tells you exactally how to do the jump, or the cheer, or the stunt. I would recomend this book to anyone who is a cheerleader, or is even thinking about becoming one.

This book was a great reference for my daughters who are interested in trying out for cheerleading. The week long cheerleading try-out camp at school is pretty intense and with this book at least they will be able to learn some basics.

This book teaches everything you need to know. I receantly joined a cheerleading team and the advisor let me borrow the book to read. It really taught me alot of must-to-know's.
