Rating: Summary: The Ultimate Guide to Cheerleading Review: I came from not knowing anything about cheerleading, and read this book. Now I know enough to coach a team, doing twisting dismounts and 2 and a half high pyramids. It's absolutely awesome, and the price is so cheap (I spend 20 pounds on mine, this is nothing)
Rating: Summary: Cheerleading and Dance Competitions Review: I found this book to be very informative and helpful for those involved in cheer and dance competitions. As one of the founders of the Florida Cheer & Dance Association (www.floridacheer.com), I get many questions relating to cheerleading, coaching, and competing at local events in Florida. Anyone who is involved in high school, recreational, all star, or individual cheerleading competitions will benefit from reading this book. Whether it be pom, stunt, junior, senior, or pee wee, this book explains it all. Even jazz, funk, hip hop, or others involved in dance competitions, all competitive dancers can learn from reading this book. It is also helpful for Co-ed, varsity, and college cheerleaders. I will be recommending this book to all cheerleaders that attend our Florida Cheerleading Camps and Clinics. This book was recommended by a forum member on our website at www.floridacheer.com (home of the Sunshine Cup and the Florida State Championship for cheer and dance) This book is required reading for all FCDA (Florida Cheer & Dance Association)staff.
Rating: Summary: Well Done! Review: I have found that over the years I have had a difficult time trying to find good books on cheerleading. However, I came across this new source and I thought it produced a great deal of useful information, especially for the novice cheerleader. The chapter on stunting was very well done, but I was hoping to find a lot more information on choreography and advanced dance movements. As a varsity cheerleading squad we like to incorporate as much of the dance movements in our routine as we do the gymnastic movements, so I feel that both are very important in order to produce an excellent performance!
Rating: Summary: Good Tips!!! Review: I think this is an excellent scource!!! Especially for the aspiring cheerleader. I have been on a Varsity cheerleading squad in Califorina for the past three years, and even though we are highly advanced this book still provided us with helpful tips unlike other scources on the market today.
Rating: Summary: WELL WORTH THE MONEY...GREAT FOR COACHES Review: I've cheered most of my life, and was recently asked to coach a new All Stars team...this book was a HUGE help in getting everything organized for parent meeting & try-outs. I love the fact that it is directed towards both cheerleaders & coaches. The tips through out the book are great! I have recommending to all my cheerleaders that they pick up a copy of this book...it's great!

Rating: Summary: Love this book!!! Review: This book is a great resource for learning all there is to know about cheerleading. I come from a town that has never had cheerleaders until my squad was formed a year ago. Our captain saw the book and picked it up thinking it might help us. It was excellent in learning all the basics and then on to more advanced stunts and jumps. It also helped us figure out how to run try-outs and things. The instructions were fabulous on teaching us everything properly. I now own a copy of the book and urge anyone in cheerleading or interested in it to buy a copy. It is the best resource to learn more that I have found.
Rating: Summary: Great book! Review: This is a great all-inclusive book! There are so many out-of- date cheerleading books on the market that I jumped on this one. So many books cover basic motions, jumps etc, that I was hoping this would offer a little more. It does! This book went beyond the basics to include info about organizing tryouts, starting your own squad etc. Even though I am a cheerleading coach, I think this book would definitely be helpful for aspiring or current cheerleaders. I was most impressed with the stunts. That is the distinguishing factor of this book. I know of no other book that contains so many partner stunts with step by step, how-to details. From elevators to scales and scorpions this covers all the major stunts. Many of them are collegiate level/one base-one flyer style, even though they teach the standard, all-girl stunt groups(1st,2nd 3rd base and flyer)also.
