Pro Tip: If your squad has different practice wear or uniforms, save yourself a headache down the road and make an extra note so your kid is always in the correct outfit.
Cheerleaders are the ultimate athletes. Hours of stunting and tumbling is guaranteed to make for sore muscles. Icy Hot and Biofreeze are your best friends when it comes to aching bodies. For extreme two-a-days soreness, try ice baths with Epsom salt to cure the ache.
Be prepared to hear 'I'm starving!' before and after every workout. A strenuous practice can work up an appetite, and a cheerleader has got to eat! Pack tasty snacks like fruit and granola to help satisfy the hunger.
Pro Tip: Make sure to fuel your athletes like champions with well-rounded meals all day long to help them perform at their best.
You may not always agree with your child's coach, but trust that they know best and that every decision they make is for the benefit of the team and the athlete. If you want help understanding one of their decisions or rules, ask the coach for a quick meeting and I'm sure they will be glad to explain.
Make friends with veteran cheer parents and learn their ways! They know the ins and outs of how competitions run and can teach you how to navigate through the cheer world like a pro.
Practices can be tough, but if your athlete knows they have you cheering them on every step of the way will make it all better. Cheer them on after they conquer a new skill, and encourage them on their harder days.
