Hi, my name is Jacob, and I am a cheerleader. I was a competitive gymnast for 7 years when I decided to switch to cheerleading. I joined East Lakes Eagles; we practice two times a week and cheer at football games on Saturday. We cheer for East Lake Mighty mites football team. My favorite cheer is ‘yell,’ and my favorite tumbling run is round off back handspring back tuck.
Towards the end of the football season, we compete in three competitions. My position is a base and I help hold up the flyer during stunting. This year we placed first, third and second. Also received a trophy for best choreography and all-around Grand Champion. Our coaches create the best routines for us and we have so much fun competing against other teams.
After East Lake cheer was over, I tried out for One Elite Allstars and got in! As you all know I was the only boy but that does not matter. My friends and I have a wonderful time together and we try our best to achieve zero deductions. Cheer is fun, maybe you should try it
