Here
is a basic
three groups of
five formation.
This is great
for going into
stunt groups.
Be creative
with level
changes etc
here! Also the
ideal place to
put in some
ripples!!
Here
is a triangle
(bowling pin),
but done in a
different way.
If you look
closely there
can be three
stunt groups in
the back (four
people). There
are three
diamonds in the
back of the
triangle. This
makes it easy
for stunting
and
cheerleading,
or dancing!!
Also move from
the formation
about, by
having one
person from
each group form
the front of
the triangle.
While the other
four people
make the
diamond.
Here
is a simple
formation.
About a simple
as you can get.
However this
sort of
formation looks
great for
tumbling
passes. Have
the front and
back row face
one direction,
and the middle
another
direction. Also
add level
changes to this
formation to
make it look
great.
Here
is another
three groups of
five formation.
This time it
being in the
shape of a
square.
Sometimes this
formation takes
a little more
time and
practice for
the team to
get. The right
spacing is
important for
this position
to look good.
Once again you
can go right
into stunting
form this
position.
Here
is yet another
position of
three groups of
five. As you
can see there
are so many
different
formations one
can use. The
key is to keep
the team
moving, and be
creative with
the formations!
The girls are
ready to start
stunting in
this group!
Here
is the basic
triangle. This
is just about
my favorite
position. There
is SO much you
can do with a
triangle.
Ripples, level
changes...the
list goes on
and on!! When
moving from
another
position, say
the one above
this, make it
clean and easy.
Have everyone
move to the
middle. DO NOT
make one girl
run all the way
to the back or
front. Nothing
looks more
messy than a
girl not making
it to her spot
on time!
Here
is a diamond
formation with
fifteen people.
As you can see
it does not
make a perfect
diamond. Which
gets me to my
next point!
Formations do
NOT have to be
perfect! There
are easy ways
of making a
formation into
a triangle,
even though
there is not
enough girls to
make perfect
windows. The
judges will
hardly, if even
notice that
there is a
person missing
in the back of
this formation.
