Petaluma High School Cheerleading
At Petaluma High School we believe that everyone who wants to cheer and has a positive, can do attitude should cheer. Even with no prior cheer experience, if you are eggar to learn, we can teach you! When determining team placements we evaluate in five areas of cheerleading. See below for details!

Showmanship/AttitudeShowmanship/Attitude is one of the most important areas we consider. We look at how you treat your teammates, coaches, and all other members of the community. We take note of your attitude at practices and events and as far as performance wise, we look at the energy you project when you are performing.

StuntingWe do a lot of stunting at PHS Cheer! We start with the absolute basics and work on safety and consistency before progressing to more challenging stunts. The cheer coaches at PHS are AACCA certified and are up to date on all of the latest stunting trends and updated rules.

TumblingIf you have never tumbled before, no problem! We will start you with the basics and move you along as appropriate. We have had cheerleaders come in never having done a forward roll and leave doing back handsprings.
|
Choreography/ MotionsFor this element we look at how you pick up on material and execute it. We will teach you all of the cheer motions you need to know and where to place them. Practicing these in the mirror is always our biggest advice to perfecting motions!

JumpsHave you ever heard of a herkie?! It's okay, a lot of cheerleaders who've come through this program never had before joining! We will teach you first how to do a jump and then we will help you improve your jumps throughout the season.
