Level Three

This level is when more of the fun and excitement kicks in. More advanced tumbling a more tricks are in level three routines. In this level, you’re allowed to flip. The only way you can be allowed to flip is in a tuck position. No twisting while tumbling, but flyers are allowed to spin in the air. A 450-degree twist is the most a level three is allowed from a two-legged stunt. Along with twisting in a dismount, adding a trick to make the stunt more difficult is legal and nice to see. In tosses, also known as baskets a twist is allowed, if a team choreographs a twist in their toss then that’s the only thing the flyer can do. The flyer cannot combine a kick or a toe touch with their twist.
This is the level that starts the twisting, but only in stunts not in tumbling. Divisions can start from peewee to seniors so it makes it an average level. I personally started my first year of all-star cheerleading on this level when I was in 4thgrade.GRAND CHAMPION LEVEL 3

  1. I don't know much about cheerleading. However, I used to have a girlfriend that did cheerleading and I use to go watch her practice. They often did this stunt, and I always thought it looked fairly easy to do. Unfortunately, I was mistaken. I teased my girlfriend that I could do the same and to prove me wrong, she got the guys in the team to help me do the stunt. So before I know it, I'm about 10 feet off the ground with two guys holding my feet. I was sweating and panicking, and immediately considered the possibility of breaking my head. So I jump, with somewhat of a spin, and the team members catch me. I did it. I still rub this one my ex-girlfriend's face from time to time.

  2. To be a cheerleader looks very hard. All the stunts that are done and all the practices must be insane. I have a friend who is a cheerleader and gymnast so I know its a lot of practice. I would be so scared to jump in the air and the other girls catch me.
