"6
tips to help your backtucks"
1.) Higher Jump - Work plyometrics
to make your jump higher. Go
here for instruction
2.) Work your technique - Make sure
you are throwing it correctly. Have a certified instructor on hand to
assist you with your tumbling and make sure you are taking your back tuck
up and not straight back (which most people tend to do).
3.) Faster pull - Do ab exercises
by doing quick motions and less of squeezing and holding. This will
increase your power in pulling your tuck.
4.) Over rotate- Try to over
rotate. Many times the cheerleader will open up too early and stop his/her
rotation.
5.) Try this - get a panel mat and
fold it up (make sure you have a spotter). Now throw your backtuck off of
the panel mat. Once that is comfortable and you can throw it by yourself.
Unfold the mat so that you are standing on less panels. Do this until you
do not need that panel mat anymore!
6.) Backtuck game(s) - get a group
of your friends and make sure they can each do a backtuck successfully
Game 1: stand on a line. Then throw your backtuck. See who landing closest
to the line. The key is to take the backtuck straight up and land back on
the line.

Game 2: stand in a circle and throw you backtucks in a ripple,
until some does not land it cleanly.
NOTE: Make sure you have spotters on hand for safety reasons.
