Cheerleading demands everything from you—physically and mentally. To give 100% on every count, every toss, and every hit, you also need to think professionally behind the scenes: Hydration isn't an extra—it's part of your performance.
A strikingly cool skirt, the casual Cheerleader Pixel Art sweater and a striking limited edition bag, from our shop, and suddenly the Peewee feels like a little star.
Whether you're looking to build a whole new cheer team or simply looking for some fresh faces for the upcoming season, recruiting members in cheerleading is more than just posting on the bulletin board. It's about showing what cheer is really about—teamwork, power, creativity, and lots of fun.
Here you will find tips and ideas on how to attract new people to your team in a targeted, creative and personable way .
Most people still associate cheerleading with clichés: pom-poms, glitter, high school. Show them that it 's much more : a real sport that requires strength, endurance, precision, and confidence.
👉 Use social media to show:
What a training session looks like
What makes the team spirit so special
What positions are available (not just flyers!)
That all bodies, genders & vibes are welcome
💡 Tip: Behind-the-scenes videos, training insights, team takeovers and reels with “expectation vs. reality” are very popular!
Organizes trial training sessions – with registration or open
Offers a trial training with friends day
Take part in school project days, city festivals or sporting events
Show not only stunts on stage or mat – but also your togetherness
The fewer “entry barriers,” the better: many people only dare to try something if they know that they don’t have to be able to do everything right away.
Not every ad resonates with everyone. Consider who you're really looking for —and how to reach those people:
🧒 For kids & teens: posters in schools, short TikToks, flyers for parents
🎓 For young adults: University events, Insta reels, personal invitations via DMs
🤸 For career changers (e.g. from gymnastics, dance, acrobatics): targeted posts like “You do gymnastics, we fly – join us!”
Team members are the best ambassadors! Let them tell you:
Why they started
What they were afraid of – and how they feel today
What Cheer means to them
💡 A short quote + photo on Instagram or as a poster during training often has more impact than 1,000 words.
Many people believe they're "not athletic enough" or "not the cheerleading type." Show them:
Cheer is for everyone – whether loud or quiet, strong or agile, experienced or completely new.
Actively express this on your channels:
"You don't have to be able to do anything—just want to be part of a team. The rest will follow!"
People don't join a team because they "want to try something new." They stay because they feel seen, needed, and welcome . Show them what makes your team special—and that cheerleading isn't just a sport, but a place to grow, celebrate, and be inspired.
So: Spread the cheer – and open your team to new energy! 📣✨
Journaling is more than just writing—it's time for you. Whether you want to organize your thoughts, capture creative ideas, or simply reflect on the day—there's no right or wrong. All that matters is that it's your space .
Find your moment. Take a few minutes a day—in the morning to clear your head or in the evening to unwind. Anything goes.
Write freely. It doesn't have to be a novel. Keywords, sentences, questions, or drawings—anything goes.
Ask yourself questions. For example: What moved me today? What am I proud of? What do I want?
Let go. Your cheerleading journal is a safe space. Write honestly, without filters—just for you.
Make it your ritual. With a cup of tea from your bestie's favorite mug, music, or candles, journaling becomes a little feel-good moment.
💡 Tip: You can also introduce theme days – e.g. gratitude on Tuesday , stretching goals on Friday or new skill goals at the beginning of the month .
That's why every team—or at least every group—should carry a well-stocked first aid kit . It doesn't have to be a huge first aid kit, but a few essentials can make a big difference in an emergency.
It's not enough to just be open-minded—you also have to actively demonstrate that diversity is welcome. Role models are crucial: When children, teenagers, or even adults recognize themselves on the mat, they're more likely to dare to participate.
