- Straddles & Splits
  Straddles and splits are cheerleading moves that require a lot of practice.
  Splits- Place hands at the sides, separate legs and slide down until the hands touch the floor.
  If a cheerleader cannot go all the way down, have her go as far as possible.
  The back knee should be facing down and the front knee should be facing up.
  Hands should be on the floor and the chest should be straight and facing forward.
  Straddles- Lean forward, place both hands on the ground and slide legs out.
  Knees should be facing up.
  As a cheerleader progresses, put elbows on the ground and slide all the way down.
  Make sure that when you are performing these skills to push yourself to gain flexibility, but not to a point where it hurts.
  Hold each stretch for a minimum of 10 seconds.
