What is a Cheer Box?

Video Transcript

Another thing we like to use is something called a cheer box, which is right here. We use this to give dimension to our crowd and fans in the audience so they can see us on a different level. This box also helps us as cheerleaders to see the game and to know what cheer to do and what play is going on, whether it's offense, defense, or just in a half time or a time out. Basically, what you need to do is just get some wood, put it together. Make yourself creative, put your school colors on it like we have. We have red and white. We put our name on the front. This is Nicole's. You paint it the school color, be creative and there you go. There's your cheer box. We also like to use this cheer box for many other things. We use it in our practices, in our routines, or even how to teach our fliers how to stand up straight like this. They put their right foot on top and we say ready 1, 2. They press from the bottom, pull themselves up and hit a lib and they can come down. This just gets them the support that they're going to feel while they're in the air. Another thing we use our cheer boxes for at our games is do cheers. These we call on the box cheers. What you do is you get on your box, put your arms behind your back. A cheer for, on the box we don't really use that many motions. This is just something so the crowd can hear that you're still supporting your team like this. We'll go over the words first. 1, we are the Indians, 2, a little bit louder, 3, we still can't hear you, we are number 1. The motions for this; you keep your feet planted, you're going to go up like this. 1, you're going to hit that arm up and make a 1 motion. That's on 1, on pause, you're going to clap down here and clap again. On 2, you're going to hit that motion again and pause again. You're going to go right down here and clap. On 3, hit that 3 again, pause, clap. We are number 1, hit that motion again and you start again. If that was a little confusing, let's try all together now. Here we go. 1, we are the Indians, 2, a little bit louder, 3, we still can't hear you, we are number 1. Got it? Great. That's our on the box cheer.
