the pyramid:

Cheerleading pyramids are essentially one big train of stunting activity. By creatively combining lifts, poses and dismounts, you end up with a sort of mega stunt that is visually impressive. It’s important that all the squad members are on the same page. So, when you’re teaching cheerleading pyramids to the squad for the first time, it is good to start with the right vocabulary.

Flyer: The flyer is the very top of the pyramid. She is known as the flyer because she will “fly” back down to safety.
Base: The base is the person on the bottom of the pyramid.
One-and-a-half-high: This refers to the levels of the pyramid and means the pyramid is the height of one person plus half of the height of another.
Two-high: The pyramid is the height of two people.
Two-and-a-half-high: The pyramid is the height of two and a half people. These pyramids are sometimes illegal in cheerleading competitions for certain squads. They also require an additional spotter in the front and the back for the top tier flyer.

A pyramid, can be dissected into several parts:

The transition or set up: This is when all the cheerleaders get into place.
The load: This refers to the manner in which you get the flyer to the top.
The “hit”: Hitting a pyramid is when you strike your final pose so that your audience can see the pyramid.
The dismount: The flyer dismounts when she jumps off the pyramid and lands safely on the ground.

When you first begin working on a new pyramid, it’s important that you go slowly and take time to make sure everyone knows what they are doing.

The first recorded 'cheer' was by Princeton University fans in 1884

The University of Minnesota 1898: their football team was having such a bad season people felt the need to create positive chants. Modern Cheering was born.

The 'Pom Pom' and 'Megaphone' were introduced to the sport of cheerleading in the early 19oos by Lawrence Herkimer.

Lawrence Herkimer is now seen as the grandfather of cheerleading.
