Date: 30 Nov 2008

Time: 9am - 3pm

Location: Ulu Pandan Community Center:

To the Singapore cheerleading community,

PAYM(People's Association Youth Movement) will be holding an event on the 30 of Nov 2008 at Ulu Pandan CC. The event will be graced by Minister Vivian Balakrishnan, MP de Souza and MP Liang Eng Hwa and is organised to promote sports in the youths of today.

Wildcards would like to extend our warmest welcome to any cheerleader, regardless of age, size, squad or level of skill, etc to take part in this event and take this oppitunity to build bonds between squads, and perhaps pick up/teach/show off a technique or two.

The event will start off with a performance by Wildcards to welcome the Ministers to the CC at 9Am, held at the central stage area set up for the event.

The focus will then move to the area reserved for us where there'll be a mini workshop/stunting session conducted by our coaches and residential instructors, as well as guest instructors invited for the event. This mini workshop will be very much self motivated, where one can proceed at their own pace, from people with no experience learning their first thigh stands, to old birds tossing up their cupies

This workshop session will last till 3pm. We strongly encourage you peeps to come on time so that you won't miss out all the fun =)

Who should attend: Cheerleaders of all levels, those who want to find out more about cheerleading, and those interested to join us !

Coaches
Chaang Ru
Zhi Liang

Residential Instructors
Xing Wei (X-Wonder)
KC
Graham
Vincent Fok

Guest Instructors

Next year's cheer music

2008-10-28T12:32:00.008+08:00

Hey, i have 4 music files for you guys to choose and choreograph yourselves. They are all around 1:20 on average. I'll be helping you for the last routine, the 1 minute music. So next year's entire routine should look a little like this:
routine 1:20 min (Jumps, pyramid, stunting, dance, anything els eyou want to put in)
cheer 20sec (You decide yourselves)
routine 1:00 min (Dynamic routine including dances and quick stunting)

e-mail me if you want to listen to the files.
The one i'll be helping you on would be more on quick stunts and dynamic routine. If we have enuff bases then a bit of partner stunting. Basicly 11 bases & 2 spotters(Both boys and girls) and 5 flyers should be able to pull off quite good stunts.

Oh yeah, for next year's cheerleading camp, i'll be changing it to a workshop. I'll try to bring in some good cheerleaders to help you guys. and also invite the other houses. Like maybe 4 people per house, cuz we don't have so many mats. Either we have some cheerleaders to help you guys out, or you have to teach the other houses. Just teach them some simpler ones, cuz we cannot afford for the mats to be missing all the time. lol.
Eh i invite you all be blog authout no one want meh!

If we have a meet up around november(not clashing with any O level exam dates) or so, anyone want to come? Those graduating must come meet up also. Give me a date you all would like to meet up on. We must discuss next year's training and leaders and also celebrate EOY haha. Gimme suggestions on:
Date :
Time :
Venue :
Activity :

Eg. My suggestion
Date : 6th nov
Time : 4:30 pm
Venue : Pasir ris park
Activity : BBQ at pasir ris park (4.30pm meet up so we have time to take stunting photo before the sun sets. Bring your own stuff. The BBQ meat i can bring, no worries, it's halal), Discuss next year's training, stunting for photo (it's a cheerleading tradition)

But provided the pitch could be booked. If all the dates got someone else book already, we eat lunch at macdonalds then go there la. Of course if it's macdonalds you pay it yourselves. LOL

Just post it in the tag board or e-mail it to me.

Cheerleading video

2008-09-16T15:58:00.008+08:00

Hi!

Here was how we did

Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evJo22T_Na8
(Btw, just a side note, I think the last part was the most sychronized, 'BOOM' fall down together. Only got some buttocks in the air but STILL!! ha ha. Stare carefully it's AZIM AND ZHENG XIU DDD: I like to laugh when i see this you know. Brings back BLAZING memories, if you know what i mean by blazing. Heh those who came over to the field near my house. Largely i see us stoning but it's cool, its cool =D. Post up what you think! For those who have not gotten my author invites send me an e-mail or IM windwhistler4@yahoo.com.sg)

We'll do EVEN BETTER next year ok?
I'll come back to help you get more sycronized and teach you more interesting stunts after I've learnt them myself ^^
Thank you so much for your commitment!
They're all recognized! I know we've trained in the rain and blazing sun, LITERALLY! So what if we're just a secondary team? Our stunts may not be as high but we did put in effort and we train just as hard as any open category team. I'm proud of your achievement and we shall work towards getting better and better! Don't bother anyone saying that we're JUST a secondary school team. DON'T CARE ABOUT THEM! We did our best and we put in our entire soul into this so be PROUD of what you've done! The School may not have actually recognized our commitment to a large extent, but I'm sure they will for years to come. Remember that you are the FIRST team to start what we call competitive cheerleading. NOT dancing! We're not doing cheer dance! We are doing CHEERLEADING! But we must not forget the true meaning of Cheerleading, it's about TEAM SPIRIT! No matter how high the stunt or jump, we are ONE TEAM and you have to remember that!

I know some people would still like to continue on with this sport as a team, so I may consider starting an alumni Coral Elites cheerleading squad for cheerleaders(and other house teams actually) after you have learnt all your basics of cheer stunting from your own JC, Poly or other open category team. It's just a team who meet up to perform for coral now and then.

Thank you Belle for Taking the video for us!!

(Oh btw, the music for next year's routine is OUT ALREADY! e-mail me if you want them!)

Hi!

2008-09-11T20:49:00.004+08:00

Hi!

Long time no post.
Anyways, Pls send me an e-mail sohfia@ymail.com or windwhistler4@yahoo.com.sg if you wanna post in this blog.

For next year, I'm planning to organize a cheer camp for ALL HOUSES. Yes even Thinkers are invited, don't >:( me. I will be inviting cheerleaders and coaches to come help you guys and you'll understand more about this sport. Of course There are fees applied but the more people joining, the cheaper it goes so when registration comes up, each house has got to send about 15 people to go learn. Only those who come for this training or has proof that they have a certified coach will be allowed to do stunts at an elevator level or higher (but not 2.5-3 high). I would be proposing to help out in the inter-house cheerleading competition (not in judging, but in making rules cuz if you guys win then thay say i bias) .

Here's the rough set up of what I'm doing:
==Layout1==
("go-home-and-sleep camp")
The cheer camp will be divided into 2 days all 6 houses combined. At the last day, all members of 6 houses will be divided and mixed up so all of you can bond and not curse behind each other's back. An estimate of 12 coaches and cheerleaders (2 coach/cheerleader per team) will join you guys. You will be cheering for 5-6 hours from around 2pm-6pm on friday and then 9am-3pm (with extension of 30mins-1 hr for performance and picture taking) on saturday. All these will be conducted on January so you guys will have time to practice throught january-march and also prepare for exams at the same time. Your coaches won't be distributed randomly, I make sure you ppl get the toughest coach and I'll be watching you. HAHAHAHA
==Layout2==
(Overnight camp)
The cheer camp will be divided into 2 days all 6 houses combined. On the first day, teams will learn how to bond with each other therefore you will stay on your own team. All people will be divided and mixed up so all of you can bond and not curse behind each other's back on the 2nd day. An estimate of 12 coaches and cheerleaders (2 coach/cheerleader per team) will join you guys. You will be having team bonding for 1hr (2pm-3pm) then cheering from around 3pm-6pm on friday (then team bonding at night from 7pm-8pm) and then wake up at 8am, followed by PT and team bonding at 9am-10am. Coaches will come at 1pm -5pm on saturday. All these will be conducted on January so you guys will have time to practice throught january-march and also prepare for exams at the same time. Your coaches won't be distributed randomly on the first day(I will make sure you get the toughest one) then on the 2nd day you will all be ramdomly distributed with a random coach.
==Estimated fees==
Coaches - $80 per coach
Mats - Not yet known
Cheerleaders - not yet known
Camp t-shirt - $10-$15
Total cost per person
Food - not yet known
Subsidy from school - not yet known
Estimated Budget per person - $15 (The more people joining, the less it costs. SO GET ALL YOUR FRIENDS TO JOIN IN !!)

This is just a rough layout =) Not comfirmed yet

GOING TO DIE LIAO

2008-09-02T23:23:00.004+08:00

OMG I'm going to die already, Went to the Wildcards cheer team AND THAT CHAANG RU MADE ME DO ALL THOSE "BASIC SKILLS" my leg going to break liao la !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But ._. It's FUN. And you guys are definately going to die as well next year when i call ppl from the open category to shape you up at least for a bit.

Oh ya, btw, I'm on a new team now, the Wildcards. I will annouce any member's "graduating" from the small house cheer team to any real cheer team.
Just let me know and I'll post it up.

The training for the Open categories are A LOT MORE DIFFICULT. Your training with me was actually quite relaxing and i should say ... no idfficulty AT ALL. For the girls who want to carry on their cheerleading here's a note:
`Do pumping everyday, you'll need it
`You better stretch up to a bow and arrow or heel stretch
`Learn to LOCK, you won't die so easily @_@
`KEEP DOING YOUR STRETCHING AND TRAIN YOUR MUSCLES
For the boys who want to carry on their cheerleading (I can tell you, you won't regret it, man you should see the cheer guys OH-MY-GAWD):
`Train your muscles everyday (THE MOST IMPT)

Anymore i forgot to add ? Dunno ... BUT IF YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE YOU SHOULD DO THEN YOU BETTER DO IT.

-Signing off, Soh Fia

Is cheerleading a sport?

2008-08-23T16:05:00.001+08:00

click to Visit the original page containing this info!

As cheerleading gains in popularity, the controversy rages on about whether it's a sport or not. There are rarely any questions about the athleticism of cheerleaders, so are cheerleaders athletes without a real sport?

Definition of a Sport:

In a dictionary you may find the word "sport" defined as a "physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively." It is the last part of the definition "engaged in competitively" that makes considering cheerleading a sport difficult. According to the Women's Sports Foundation the following criteria has to be met to be considered a sport:

A physical activity which involves propelling a mass through space or overcoming the resistance of a mass
A contest or competition against or with an opponent
Is governed by rules which explicitly define the time, space and purpose of the contest and the conditions under which a winner is declared
The acknowledged primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants

What is Cheerleading?

With the criteria above in mind, is the primary purpose of cheerleading to compete? Well, presently no. The majority of cheerleading squads do not participate in any competitions. Their sole purpose is to entertain, motivate and unite spectators of other athletic teams that are competing. Cheerleading is most often defined as the "Act of leading organized cheering, as at sports events."

The Future of Cheerleading

Although there are many cheerleading squads that do meet the criteria of their primary function being competitive cheerleading. Until the majority of the squads move competing to the forefront and cheering at games to be a secondary function, there is little hope cheerleading will be officially considered a sport.

The skills involved in Cheerleading leave no doubt that cheerleaders are exceptional athletes. To perform their activities, they must be as strong as any football player, as poised as any dancer and as flexible as the best gymnasts. They are athletes by every definition of the word.

So, does it really matter how cheerleading is defined? Is it not more important to be considered an athlete, even if you don't have an official sport? What's your opinion?

Bring it on cheer

2008-08-18T16:59:00.001+08:00

Ok, here's a nice cheer, ahaha.

Group 1: It don't matter what we do. Music, baby, is our cue. Hands and shoulders, face so tight, all our moves will rock this fight.
Group 2: Our moves are tight, we move with ease. The moves we do will make you wheeze. So watch us strike our muscle pose, while you all prance and do-ci-do.
Group 1: That was cute, your pose was dull, but all of you have belly rolls. Once again we groove with flare, the moves we do, you wouldn't dare! So listen quick, while your face gets cracked, one, two, three your whacked!
Group 2: Your rhyme was fun but we're still good. We still can stunt, your from the hood.
Group 2: Hood-rats, good-rats, what are you called? The moves you do won't win at all. So listen quick - oops, you said that rhyme. one, two, three our time!
Group 1: Motions, motions, hear them roar. No one's knocking at your door. With no rhythm and with no sass, all of you can kiss our ass!
Group 2: Dance:10; Looks:3; the moves you do make us all pee.
Group 2: We laugh, we cry, we all say "HI!" but when you dance it's "BYE BYE BYE!"

Wa, you guys learnt a full 1:40min routine in 2 weeks. Now bad not bad, even learnt a shoulder stand faster than i thought. Keep it going alright! We must continue to own the other houses , ha ha. Next year's routine wwill be more difficult, but I'm sure you'll do fine. Azim and Khairul are very steady bases, You can even bounce around and it's almost impossible to fall from an elevator. Zheng Xiu always complain, COMPLAIN COMPLAIN COMPLAIN. But he's always there, RIGHT! So what does that prove? His complains are bullshit. Yup. Irfan just joined us and i think he progressed very very well, learns very fast, must continue ok! hahaha. Stephanie wanted to continue after her injury healed, it's really great! Lin Hui and Aisyah even came when they're on MC, thats like, WHOA, thank you for giving the team your all ah! Rimes, Nadhirah, Syafiqah and Khalish came even when their exams are so near, thank you so much !! ALL MUST COME FOR THE PARTY IN NOVEMBER OK!!

It's high time cheerleading became a serious thing. You should expect more from the other houses next year so must work harder ah! They will be behind us, but it doesn't mean they'll never race past us. So must keep that in mind. We are the first group to begin the race of cheerleading(Cheer stunting) in coral secondary and you better do better than the rest!
