Taylorsville High
cheerleaders of 2010-11
By: Tabi Lucas THS
Definitions:
• Cheerleading: A physical activity, sometimes a competitive sport, using organized routines, usually ranging from 1-3 minutes, which contain the components of tumbling, dance, jumps, cheers and stunting to direct spectators of events to cheer on sports teams at games or to participate in competitions.
• Stunting: Cheerleading stunts consist of three positions : flyer, bases, and back spot. The flyer is the person who performs the stunt, she is held up by the bases and/ or thrown up into the air. There is most often more than one base, determined by the difficulty of the stunt. The back-spot helps lift the flyer into the bases hands and helps lift and support the flyer.
• Tumbling: Gymnastics, such as somersaults, rolls, handsprings and tucks performed with the use of specialized apparatus.

time for changes. It is strange, but you get used to it.

crowd entertained and keep the crowd involved.

kin, and clans.• Individual girls: Bilateral Descent
and Neolocal.
Political• Captain= Head of cheer team,
– Calls cheers & makes team decisions
• Co-captain= Next in charge helps captain make decisions.
• JV: Junior varsity= Less superior than Varsity, cheers at jv games
• Varsity= Most superior team, cheers at varsity games & more advanced in skills.
environment• High school• Track & field • Gyms
Religion• None• Catholic • LDS
Economy• Pricey
– Nationals– Competitions– Uniforms, bows, poms ,etc.
Subsistence: Industrialism
Connections• Behavior Religion = depending on ones religion.
– For example, the head coach could influence the team to follow her ethical standards and beliefs.
• Kinship Political = The team needs to be treated as a whole. No matter what squad you are placed on, everybody wins or loses together in competitions and such. They are all considered Taylorsville cheerleaders no matter what.
• Kinship Learned patterns= With stunting & tumbling, there is a needed trust between the girls throwing (bases) and the girl in the air (flyer). She needs to know they will catch her. With tumbling, you need to be and feel safe. With both of these there can be serious injuries, so trust can definitely help a ton with that.
• Kinship Beliefs = Exogamy is normal in their subculture. Not at their age, but as they get older. Endogamy would be considered a taboo.
