Recently, on 8/09/2018, we had an exchange program with SUTD Vertex Cheer-leading Team! It was a fun filled Saturday afternoon training session where we were able to exchange cheer knowledge with one another! SUTD Vertex is a relatively new team, hence, Wildcards tried our best to impart whatever knowledge we had to the growing cheerleaders! It was an honor to be part of their growing process!
After a quick warm up, we proceeded to group stunts! We started off by doing 2 men straight ups and after it was consistent, we moved on to doing full ups!

Flyers were also taught how to do full downs and double downs from stretch position on stunt! CONGRATULATIONS to all FLYERS that managed to hit their singles or double downs😆😆.
Gymnastics was next on the list!! Wildcards helped teach Vertex drills to perfect their back hand springs and also correct their cartwheel and round-off form! 🏃

🍀Kim yet again! This time with her lucky leaf, where ever fun is, she's always there🍀
Baskets were next! Bases were taught the proper form to execute a basket safely and with enough height for flyers to execute their elements! Flyers were taught drills on how to get their sharp toe touches and back tucks for baskets! It was thrilling to see some flyers unlock their basket back tucks for the first time! Congrats to everyone who attempted new elements!
Unfortunately we do not have any basket photos to upload! Everyone was too busy learning and spotting the stunt! Safety first😇😝
To make up for the missing photos, here is a photo of a basket!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😆😆😆😆😜😜😜
Next up we had pyramids! Its always fun stacking people on top of one another but of course before we did that, our bases and flyers imparted their knowledge to Vertex regarding the respective roles of a pyramid stunt! Its always important to know what you are doing so as to ensure safety!🚑
Together we attempted straight ups 1-1-1 and 2-2-1!! Good job to everyone that made pyramids possible! And special shout outs to flyers that conquered their fears of standing at the very top!🔥

Finally, the last segment of the day is partner stunts! It was nice seeing some new bases and flyers hitting their toss to hands for the first time! Moving on to pressing up hands to extension and blocks thereafter! Great job bases! Always remember to use your legs!!🍗🍗
The more experienced bases and flyers managed to hit straight liberty and cupie as well! Some flyers also managed to hit toss cupie and full ups with our Wildcards Bases! Fantastic job everyone!!
Here is a photo of " How to Cupie" to make up for the lack of partner stunt photos😅😁
