9th Grade Cheerleaders Cheer Their Hearts Out

Submitted by tiffanie.miley on

Most people think that the life of a cheerleader is easy. The ninth grade cheerleaders at Springville Junior High practice 24/7. So how do they do it all? Well listen up and I will explain how they do it all.

 The cheerleaders have to practice a lot to get all the routines right. According to Jacqueline Bradford, ninth-grade cheerleader, this may take some girls two days, but for others it might take two weeks. “It all depends on the person,” Jacqueline said. So if students started cheering in seventh grade, the routines might be easier for the students when they hit ninth grade because they are all the same. Most girls on the cheer team practice for one hour and 30 minutes every day so they get the routines perfect.

“I signed up for cheer because it was the last year before it got all technical,” Danica Pace, another ninth-grade cheerleader, said. According to Colbi Casper, ninth-grade cheerleader, cheer is a good activity for hanging out with your friends and having a good time. Also, some of them signed up because they were interested in the sport. Everybody on the cheer team seems to enjoy it. So, if students seem interested in cheering at football games, hanging out with friends, and having fun, they too could sign up for cheer.
