CHEERLEADING FAQ’S

Why do Upward Cheerleaders not cheer for a specific flag football team each week?
Cheers are meant to encourage all players. Squads rotate the teams they cheer for throughout the season.

Does my daughter have to go through tryouts to make the squad?
No. Upward Cheerleading squads are determined by age.

Why does Upward Cheerleading not incorporate stunting and tumbling as part of its cheerleading program?
Upward Sports would like to ensure your child’s safety by only allowing activities that the participant and the coach are comfortable doing. Therefore, Upward Cheerleading does not offer any tumbling or stunting tricks in hopes to prevent any injuries and to keep all children’s safety first.

How do I fluff the cheerleader poms?
Place one pom in front of you with the baton handle parallel to your legs. Begin with the strands on one side of the baton first, and then move to the other side. Starting with the first strand, firmly pull one pom strand to the right and the next pom strand to the left. Continue alternating left and right until you finish all of the strands on one side. (To save time, you can pull the strands in opposite directions at the same time.) Turn pom over and repeat with the other side. Periodically shake the pom to loosen strands. Repeat this sequence with the second pom.

What are this season's colors?
If your child will be cheering at Upward Flag Football games, the 10-11 season’s colors are green and gold. This color scheme is similar to that of the Green Bay Packers.
