Cheerleaders don't come out of the womb doing splits. Its something they work up to and this is just a summer high school camp to get them ready for the season.

Mmm okay that explains

And it wasn't just her either. Yes, these girls know this is a cheer requirement and yes I'm sure they knew they were going to need to train for it, but in no way shape or form should it be this extreme.

From what I've heard this isn't uncommon - my cousin used to perform those water dance routines and her trainer would regularly make them do spreads facing a wall, and then she would come up, sit behind them and push them up against the wall as far as she could...

It's a joke! When you give me that look, it's a joke!

I understand that doing splits is vital to becoming a cheerleader and if she can't do it, then she's not fit to be a cheerleader.

HOWEVER, if that was MY 13 year-old daughter being held down like that by not only her fellow students but also by a grown-ass man, I would flip my s***. Boundaries, man.  BOUNDARIES.  The girl is even begging for them to stop, as evidenced in the video.

This is several levels of inappropriate.

I was a highly competitive cheerleader (one of the best teams in the country) and was a USA gymnast...I watched 5 seconds of this video and was horrified. The girl is clearly in pain and this is how you injure yourself. Yes, good competitive teams require splits and certain gymnastic moves, if you don't have them, you don't have a chance of being selected. But good coaches do not allow stuff like this to happen. 

I got all my splits on my own, by putting towels under my feet on a slippery kitchen floor. :toofunny:

If she cant do it, and theres no time to train her,  said shes mot up to the standard they are looking for and that she needs to train harder and re-apply sometime later...

 

Dont pull her muscles and cause injuries :saladga:

My sis was a cheerleader but she was a gymnast prior to cheerleading so she could do splits anyway but i dont remember it being required. As for the video that is just unjustified torture. This person should be charged for assault
