Ground Support is an 8-week program that will help Bases and Backspots develop the traits & characteristics to become a stronger & more effective cheerleader on the mat.

Through convenient and expert-tested movement selection curated of mostly bodyweight exercises, plyometrics, and resistance training, it is truly a one of a kind workout you can do virtually anywhere.

Athletes will receive daily programming complete with the appropriate reps, sets and rest scenarios, alongside viewer instruction and built-in linear progression.

The primary objective of our routine is to build on three components: vertical power output, horizontal power output, and full body kinetic chain movement.

We take all the guess work out of your hard work, in exchange for real results.

Program Overview:

8 weeks. 3 days per week. 1 day of energy systems training. 1 day of weightroom. 1 day of hybrid (weights and cardio).

Core Skills

Cheer requires a large amount of core strength and stability. Athletes must jump, stunt, tumble, and perform strenuous lifting repetitively, all while making it look effortless with zero deductions.

Routine Stamina

Develop the stamina, strength, speed, and flexibility to support both practice and competitive events. These athletes must be capable of running routines that're executed to perfection and subject to an abundant amount of physical effort.

Injury Prevention

A durable and well conditioned athlete is less prone to injury. High school cheer has some of the highest incidence of injuries and accidents because of the physical demand of sport. A stronger athlete will help reduce the risk of serious injuries, falls, strains and sprains.

FAQs

Who is this training for?

It is particularly for Bases and BackSpots, High School Cheerleaders in the Off-Season, ages 14-18 years old.

How long is each session?

It depends on the athlete but each individual should be able to complete their session within 45 minutes to 1 hour, with the understanding that sessions may run longer and become more time consuming as we (increase intensity/volume) progress through the 8 weeks.

What if I miss a day?

Don't...Just kidding. In fact, don't sweat it. There are at least four scheduled rest days throughout the week, so with this agility, choose the most ideal time to make-up any workouts you may have skipped.
