Chant “Must Knows” - Chant Introduction
To begin, chants are cheers are essential parts of cheerleading as they: get the crowd
excited, motivate your team and gets the crowd involved in the game. For example, if
your team is losing, you can do a cheer or chant to boost the player’s spirit and help
motivate them to a victory.
There are millions of different cheers and chants out there for various occasions and
sports. For example, there are specific cheers and chants for football, basketball and
wrestling. Remember, the fundamentals for doing cheers and chants apply to all sports.
Now its time to learn the difference between a cheer and a chant:
Chant: A chant is usually very short and you repeat it 3 or more times.
Cheer: A cheer is longer than a chant is done only 1 time through.
Now, let’s break down the types of cheers and chants:
Offence: An “offense” chant is one that talks about scoring and is used in a
sporting event. You use this type of chant when YOUR TEAM HAS THE BALL.
Here is a sample offense chant: We’ve got the ball, we’ve got the ball, let’s score 6!
Defense: A “defense” chant is one that talks about taking the ball away from the
other team. You use this chant when YOUR TEAM DOES NOT HAVE THE
BALL. Here is a defense chant example: T A K E take that ball away.
Spirit / General Chant: The spirit or general chant is one you can use anytime
like: Let’s go Bears!

The touchdown motion
has your arms straight
over your head with
your elbow and wrists
locked. Your arms are
slightly forward with
your elbows next to your
temples. Your fists are
facing each other with
the sides of our fists
facing front.
The “T’ motion has your
arms out in a “T” forma-
tion with your fists in
buckets (like you are
holding 2 buckets of
water). Your arms are
also slightly in a “V”
with your wrists slightly
in front of your body.
Tip: Don’t shrug your
shoulders, just keep
them relaxed.
The High “V” motion
has your arms over your
head in a “V” formation.
This motion has your
wrists facing OUT; this
means when you look up
at your hands, you
should see the top of
your knuckles.
The Elbows or Table
Top motion has your
arms bent in front of
your body with your
fists in daggers; the
sides of our fists are
facing front. Remember
to keep your elbows in
front of your body, not
by your sides.
To do the Bow and
Arrow motion, start with
your arms in a “T”
motion with your hands
in buckets. Then, bend
one arm in, keeping our
hands in buckets.
The Muscles motion has
your arms bent in 90
degree angles out to the
sides. The bottom of
your arms are parallel to
the ground and your fists
are facing front - like
door knockers.
