American Cheerleader February 2009
This pyramid sequence is legal for USASF Levels 5 and up, but illegal for school teams.
1. LOAD: Three groups load into Preps while two more groups load into Basket Tosses in front of the two outside Preps. The top girls in the outside Preps grab one arm of the top girls in front of them.
2. TUCKS: On the designated count, the front tops perform back tuck while connected to the Preps behind them.
3. RECATCH: After flipping, the top girls are caught again by the same group in a Sponge position, while the Preps remain connected.
4. HOP OVER: Immediately after catching the flips, the groups toss the top girls up and over to the inside of the Preps. The bases move with them and catch them in a Sponge again.
5. INSIDE STRETCHES: After catching in a sponge, the groups put the top girls into inside Liberty Heel Stretches, connecting to the Preps.

this is from my gymm! it looks much better when they performed the routine. they also didnt have the middle prep go up until the end when they all connected, so she was only up for a few counts in the routine, which is why she does nothing in the pictures. (:
