While some people don’t recognize how hard it is to become a cheerleader, it’s actually one of the most dangerous sports out there where hours of practice and hard work are required to perfect a routine. It’s also a beautiful way where team members get to form a bond like no other, because their trust is essential to perform the pyramids, tosses and extreme stunts that amaze us every day. It’s time to be the one who hypes your friends up by choosing one of these thoughtful and practical gifts to give them on special occasions like birthdays, graduations, or maybe even a long-awaited competition where they’ll be competing against their rival.
Stunt Stand for Balance and Flexibility
Two of the most important things when it comes to cheerleaders’ physical fitness are balance and flexibility. Depending on one’s position in a team, they’re usually required to know a few stunts to make the cut. If you’re looking for something to give a friend who aspires to become a cheerleader, this stand will help a lot in their conditioning.

Grip-Enhancing Chalk for Elite Cheerleaders
One risk that comes with cheerleading is that members are more prone to injury than those in other sports.

Ensure your friends’ safety by giving them something to enhance their grip while they perform!
Cheer Hair Don’t Care

Soft Cooling Towel
Cheerleaders love practicing their routines on the field because it provides a softer ground compared to concrete. Some feel safer perfecting their stunts there if the gym is not available. The downside is, it tends to be hotter compared to sessions indoors! It’s good that we have cooling towels to give them, which can keep them cool under the sun.
Sterling Silver Megaphone Ring
Purchasing rings can be a bit tricky because we’re usually unaware of our friend’s ring size! And that’s alright because we don’t really discuss those things anyway. Thankfully, adjustable rings exist today to save us the trouble of guessing. This one has a megaphone and can even be customized to hold your friend’s initials.
