Jumps???

Welcome to our Cheerleading Community

Keep your back straight and arms out in the T formation, try bringing your legs up to your arms in your jump rather than your arms to your legs. If you land in a squat then bring your legs up a little lower, it means you don't have the strength yet to hit the higher height. By doing V-ups, leg kicks, and stretches you should be able to gradually get better, higher toe touches.

Sadly there is no quick fix for perfect jumps.
 
On the way down think about clamping your knees/ankles together. Most of the girls on my team have bruises between our knees from slamming them together at the end of jumps. This is how you know their tight together lol! Try landing on your toes and then absorbing your jump by slightly bended your knees and letting your heels touch the floor.
