IT'S IMPORTANT TO ALWAYS HAVE ADULT SUPERVISION WHENEVER YOU DO PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES. SO PLEASE DON'T TRY TO DO THESE CHEERS ON YOUR OWN.

1. This is a hand and arm formation used to motivate the crowd. All you have to do is “punch” both arms in the air to make them look like the goal posts on a football field.
2. A “T” is when you punch both arms out to the side and keep your legs together and straight. Your hands can be in fists or blades (straight and stiff with fingers “glued.”
3. For diagonals, take your T formation and move your arms into a diagonal line. That’s it!Let’s put them together in some cheers.
4. First practice the words D-D-DDEFENSE! D-D-DDEFENSE!
5. For “D-D-D” Put your arms in a T with your hands in fists. Step back on your right foot and say “D!” If you’re by yourself, you can yell all three “Ds”. If you have three of you, each one yells one “D,” one after the other.
6. Bring your feet together and put your left fist on your left hip. Raise your right arm (with a fist) and bend your elbow to point it towards the sky (so your right hand is touching your shoulder.)
7. Punch your right arm up into the air. Got it? So fun! Let’s do another...
8. First practice the words What Do We Want? T-D! What’s That? Touchdown! What Do We Want? T-D! What’s That? Touchdown!
9. Start with your hands on your hips.Clap 6 times (in the open-palm blade formation). Then bend your elbows and raise your arms into a touch down move.
10. First practice the words O…O…O…OFFENSEO…O…O…OFFENSEO…O…O…OFFENSE!
11. For the first “O” 1) Start with your hands on your hips. 2) Next raise your right arm towards the sky while your left arm points to the ground. Make sure that your arms are in a diagonal and not straight up and down. 3) Now step your right foot backwards and shout, “O!”
12. For the second “O,” this is a new move, the diagonal lunge. 1) Step out with your right foot. 2) Swing your right arm around to the front so it points towards the ground (line your right arm up with your left leg so that you have a nice clean line). 3) Point your left arm in an upward diagonal (also known as a half High-V) and shout, “O!”
13. For the third “O” 1) simply bring your feet together and go back to the first “O” diagonal (right arm up and left arm down) as you shout “O!” For “Offense” 2) Put your left hand on your left hip. 3) Raise your right elbow so it points towards the sky. 4) Punch your right arm out over your head and shout “O!”And there you have a totally awesome cheer for the offense!
