(Little “cinni’s” forward)
Extend your arms upwards
and at a 45-degree angle
from your head with your
hands in fists.
Extend your arms downwards
and at a 45-degree angle from
your body with your hands in
fists.

shoulders so that they are
parallel with the ground.
Extend your arms from your
shoulders so that they are
parallel with the ground, like
for a T, but bend both arms
at the elbows and bring them
in toward your shoulders so
that your forearms are facing
up. Keep your hands in fists,
pulled tight into your
shoulders and don’t bring
your arms forward.
Daggers/Broken
Touchdown
(Little “cinni’s” forward)
Touchdown
(Little “cinni’s” forward)
Low Touchdown
(Big “cinni’s” forward)
Extend both arms straight up,
and bring them in line with
your body so that your arms
touch your ears.
Extend both arms straight
down, and bring them in
tight with your body. Arms
should be in line with, but
pulled slightly in front of the
legs.
Bow & Arrow
(Big “cinni” forward on
extended arm; little
“cinni” on bent arm)
Bend your elbows and bring
your arms in tight to your
body. Your elbows should be
pulled in and pointed down,
and your hands should be
just below your chin.
One arm is extended in a T
position, and one arm is in a
Broken T position. This
motion can be done as a
‘right’ or ‘left’ motion. The
arm that is in the T position
determines which motion it
is (when the right arm is in a
T, it is a Right Bow and
Arrow).
1
Punch/Torch
(Little “cinni” forward)
Extend one arm straight up
(into the Touchdown
position). The other arm is
resting on the hip, with the
hand in a fist. That elbow
should be pointing to your
side. The punch can be done
as a right punch or left
punch. The arm in the
Touchdown position
determines which move it is
(if the right arm is in a
Touchdown, it is a right
punch).
L
(Big “cinni” forward on side
arm; little “cinni” on upper
arm)
Extend one arm into
a Touchdown motion, and the
other into a T motion. This
motion can be done as a
‘right’ or ‘left’ motion. The
arm that is in the T position
determines which motion it is
(when the right arm is in a T, it
is a Right L).
Diagonal
(Big “cinni’s” forward)
One arm is extended in
a High V motion, and one
arm is in a Low V motion.
This motion can be done as a
‘right’ or ‘left’ motion. The
arm that is in the High V
position determines which
motion it is (when the right
arm is in a High V, it is a
Right Diagonal).
K
(Big “cinni” forward on
upper arm; little “cinni” on
lower arm)
Extend one arm into a High V
motion, while the other arm
holds a Low V position but is
crossed over your body. This
motion can be done as a
‘right’ or ‘left’ motion. The
arm that is in the High V
position determines which
motion it is (when the right
arm is in a High V, it is a Right
K).
Clasp
Overhead/High Clasp
Middle Clasp
Low Clasp
Bend your elbows and bring
your arms in tight to your
body. Your elbows should be
pulled in and pointed down,
and your hands should be
just below your chin. Wrap
your hands around each
other so that your right
knuckles are vertical, facing
up toward your chin, and
your left knuckles are
horizontal, pointing out and
away from your body.
Extend both arms straight up,
and bring them in line with
your body so that your arms
touch your ears. Keep your
hands wrapped around each
other, in the clasp position.
Your thumbs should be facing
behind you.
From the clasp position,
extend your arms straight
out, away from your body.
Keep your shoulders back
and your head up. Your
thumbs will be facing up
toward the ceiling, and your
fingers will be facing out in
front of you.
From the clasp position,
extend your arms straight
down (similar to a low
touchdown) and bring them
in tight with your body. Arms
should be in line with, but
pulled slightly in front of the
legs. Your thumbs will be
facing out in front of you,
and your fingers will be
facing in toward your body.
2012 Training Manual

Muscle Man
(Little “cinni’s” forward)
From the T motion, rotate
your arms so that the fingers
of your fist face upwards.
Then, bend both arms so
that your forearms are
vertical, facing up. The
fingers of your fists should
be facing in toward your
head. Do not pull your arms
in toward your chest. Keep
your head up and your
shoulders back.
Genie
Low Broken V
High Broken V
From the Blades motion, bend
your left arm in toward the
middle of your chest so that
your thumb is closest to your
body. Next, do the same with
the right arm, but rest your
right arm lightly on top of the
first one. Hands are open and
your fingers are straight and
together. The tips of your
fingers should line up with the
elbow of the opposite arm.
Keep your right fingers on top
of your left elbow. Move your
left fingers so they rest on top
of the right elbow. Keep the
positional height of your arms.
Start in the Low V position.
Then bend your elbows up
and in, bringing your fists
below your chin. Your
pinkies should be facing out.
Your elbows should point
down and away from your
body.
Start in the High V position.
Then bend your elbows down
and in, bringing your fists to
rest just below your
shoulders. Your pinkies
should be facing out, and
your elbows should continue
to point out and away from
your body.
Low V & Hips
Half V & Hips
High Broken V & Hips
Hip Low Touchdown
For this combination, bring
one arm into a Low V and
the other Hand on Hip. This
move can be done as a left
or right motion. The arm
that stays in the Low V
position will determine
which direction the move is.
For this combination, bring
one arm into a High V and the
other Hand on Hip . This move
can be done as a left or right
motion. The arm that stays in
the High V position will
determine which direction the
move is.
For this combination, bring
one arm into a High Broken
V and the other Hand on Hip.
This move can be done as a
left or right motion. The arm
that stays in the High Broken
V position will determine
which direction the move is.
From the Low Touchdown
motion, bend one arm up
and in, and bring your fist to
rest on your hip. This move
can be done as a left or right
motion. The arm that stays in
the Low Touchdown position
will determine which
direction the move is.

Daggers & Hips/Broken
Torch
For this combination, bring
one arm into a Dagger
position and the other Hand
on Hip. This move can be
done as a left or right
motion. The arm that stays
in the Dagger position will
determine which direction
the move is.
Blades
Candlesticks
This motion is similar to the T
motion, but instead of putting
your hands into fists, they
should be in blades. In the
blade position, your hands are
open and your fingers are
straight and together. Extend
your arms from your
shoulders so that they are
parallel with the ground. Keep
your hands in blades with your
palms facing down and your
pinkies facing back.
Extend both of your arms
straight out in front of you
and hold them chest level
while keeping them parallel
to the ground. Your hands
should be in fists, with the
insides facing each other so
that your thumbs are on top
and your pinkies are on
bottom. Your thumbs should
wrap around your fingers,
not rest on top of them. As
always, keep your head up,
facing forward and your
shoulders back.
W
(Little “cinni’s” forward)
Arms should go into a
position similar to the
Daggers/Broken Touchdown
motion, but instead of your
fists directly in front of your
shoulders, you should bend
your elbow so that your
forearm is pointing away
from your body at a 45
degree angle.
Tips for Cheer Motions
Sharp Moves. Your muscles should be tight and your arms should be stiff when you are hitting your motions. A
loose arm will make the motion sloppy. Don’t just put your arms into position, snap them into position!
Straight Lines. All of your lines should be straight, and this includes making sure your wrists don’t bend. Keep your
wrists tight too, and make sure they are aligned with your arms.
Thumbs Up. Never tuck your thumbs inside your fist. Instead, lay them across your fingers on the outside of the
fist.
No Shrugs. Your shoulders should be low and relaxed and your neck should be extended. Do not shrug your
shoulders up.
2012 Training Manual

Jumps
High V Approach:
1…Start with arms in a high V position and feet together and knees slightly bent.
2…Move arms inward toward each other and cross in an “X”
3…Continue to swing and lower arms
4…Bend knees; arms swing all the way down to low V position
Jump:
5…Knees still bent & begin to push up with legs; arms swing back up toward High V, T or Touchdown position
(depending on jump)
6…Lift off the ground with arms and legs in appropriate jump position (always look forward or slightly up)
Landing:
7…Land; knees bent & arms in Low V, Low Touchdown or Broken Touchdown position (depending on the jump)
8…Stand up nice & tight once your knees are steady, hands at sides, facing forward
Beginner Jumps:
Spread Eagle Jump (X Jump)
Use the High V approach. On 5 & 6, bring arms up to a high V and while doing so, lift off the ground and spread
your legs so that you create an X with your arms and legs. Knees & shoe laces should be facing forward and toes
should be pointed. Land with arms in a low V position.
Tuck
Use the High V approach. On 5 & 6, bring arms up to a high V and while doing so, use stomach muscles to pull the
legs up with thighs as close to the chest as possible, knees facing upward as if in a tucked position. Toes should be
pointed down. Land with arms in a low V position.
2012 Training Manual
5
Intermediate Jumps:
Front Hurdler
Use the High V approach. On 5 & 6, bring arms up to a T or Blades motion and while doing so, lift off the ground so
that one leg is straight forward with leg locked and toe pointed (toe touch position). The other leg bends the leg in
toe touch position from hip to knee but the knee bent and parallel to the ground. This jump can be done as a left
or right jump. The forward leg determines which direction a jump is being done (i.e. when right leg is forward, it is
considered a right hurdler). Land with arms in a broken Touchdown position.
Herkie
Use the High V approach. On 5 & 6, bring arms up to a Touchdown motion and while doing so, lift off the ground
so that one leg is in the toe touch position with leg locked and toe pointed (toe touch position). The other leg is
bent at the knee with the knee facing straight to the ground and the toe pointed. This jump can be done as a left
or right jump. The straight leg determines which direction a jump is being done (i.e. when right leg is forward, it is
considered a right herkie). Arms can also be in a punch/torch position. Arm of straight leg would be the one bent.
Land with arms in a low V position.
2012 Training Manual
6
Toe-Touch
Use the High V approach. On 5 & 6, bring arms back up to a high V and while doing so, lift off the ground similar to
the Spread Eagle/X but instead of knees & shoe laces facing forward, rotate hips to the back (think about knees &
shoe laces facing the wall behind you). Keep your back straight and bring your legs up to you. Toes should be
pointed and legs locked. Despite its name, you do not touch your toes during a toe touch, you reach out farther in
front of your legs. Arms should be in a T or Blades motion for the Toe-Touch. Land with arms in a low Touchdown
position.
Pike
Use the High V approach. On 5 & 6, bring arms up to a Touchdown or Candlesticks motion and while doing so, lift
off the ground so that both legs are straight out in front of you. Toes should be pointed and legs locked. Keep the
chest up and head up. Land with arms in a broken Touchdown position.
