These mats will be used to teach my students new cheerleading skills safely so that they can achieve their goals including: "placing at least 2nd in a competition, learning an aerial, doing a back-bend, and not being afraid of going upside down." Learning to flip, jump, and twist on grass or a non-spring cheer floor is not only intimidating as a beginner tumbler but is also not the safest way for these athletes to learn. The inflatable nature of these mats will allow me to set the pressure to firm or soft depending on the skill level of the athlete as well as enable me to deflate them at the end of practices and store them away until the next practice since we share space with other athletic teams at the school. Having these mats will also enable my students to execute jump and tumbling drills with less chance of repetitive motion injuries. These mats will provide bounce and a soft landing while learning until they are conditioned and skillful enough to execute the tumbling or jump skill on a non-spring cheer floor. My students are determined to be the best cheerleaders they can be and this project will help them accomplish their goals.
