Many players are college students, lacking training funds, so they can only use emergency lights outdoors at night.
CBA has ushered in another season. In CBA, the wonderful games are dazzling, and the cheerleading girls in each division compete for beauty. Their dedicated, earnest and passionate dance also excited the audience.
Speaking of cheerleading girls in CBA, it is somewhat mysterious. Where did they come from? What is their income? What makes them active in CBA? Short skirts and boots, young faces full of youthful smiles and fashionable dances have made CBA stadium bid farewell to the era of "broadcast gymnastics". From the choice of choreography and costumes to the deep bow at the end of the performance, people can feel the good intentions of cheerleading organizers and performers from every detail.
The income jumped less than 100 yuan.
A game lasts at least two hours, about 12 pause. For cheerleading girls, jumping off every game is very tiring. In order to perform well, off-court training is also very hard. It seems that they should make a lot of money every time they perform, but this is not the case.
Liu Yiyuan is a sophomore in the Department of Business Administration of Peking University, and also the cheerleader of Shougang Men's Basketball Team. Once a reporter ran into Liu Yiyuan and some cheerleading girls who had just finished a game in the subway, and couldn't help asking her how much she could get for a dance. Liu Yiyuan's answer is very surprising: "Cheerleading is entirely because of hobbies and interests, and no one is for economic reasons. We don't know how much money we can get in the end, and no one has asked. " Although the cheerleading girl didn't ask, it seems that she didn't want to ask, but the reporter still consulted. Every CBA team has at least 2 1 home in a season, which means that cheerleaders have to jump at least 2 1 field in a season.
According to a senior cheerleader, after a season, the average income is less than 2000 yuan. In other words, the income of each performance is less than 100 yuan.
Most of the sources are college students
In CBA, there are professional players, but there are few professional cheerleaders. "Cheerleaders can't dance for long unless they are coaches." A senior cheerleader told reporters that "the cheerleaders in the NBA are also updated quickly." At present, many cheerleaders in CBA are college students. When many cheerleaders are formed, they will put up recruitment advertisements in schools and post on the BBS of universities. Girls who love dancing go through strict selection and training and finally become cheerleaders.
"Sometimes I have a little regret. I didn't expect to be so tired, but we all like basketball and will definitely stick to it until the end of the season. " A cheerleader said. The income is not high, and the training performance is very hard. Why are they jumping? "Because I like it." The girls' answers are simple and crisp.

Insufficient funds can only be used for outdoor training.
Beijing Shougang Club Cheerleading Team was developed by Beijing No.9 Middle School Rhythmic Gymnastics Team several years ago. The team left CBA for two seasons, and now the cheerleader Yu Dan went to Canada to study after graduating from University. After returning to China in May this year, she reconvened her schoolmates and recruited some people from various universities to form this professional cheerleading team. At the beginning of training, due to lack of funds, training can only be moved to the outdoor venues of sports universities or other primary schools. When there is no light at night, everyone uses emergency lights.
In the month of preparing for training, they trained almost every day. Training in outdoor venues at night is cold and hard. You should be very careful not to get hurt during training. Difficult movements can only be trained indoors. Later, Yu Dan rented the indoor venue of Jiaotong University with his own money, and he could go to the indoor training once a week.

Take the sexy route of NBA cheerleading
Zhao Shouzhen, a famous South Korean cheerleading coach, said that China's cheerleading team was easily stuck on the court. After several years of training, the current CBA cheerleading team has already become a sexy elf on the basketball court.
Now, Zhao Shouzhen has searched a lot of information about American MTV and NBA cheerleading through foreign websites, learned more about cheerleading and arranged his own movements, hoping to explore the unique performance path of China cheerleading while learning NBA cheerleading.
Speaking of NBA cheerleaders, CBA cheerleaders can't help but sigh: "We are still far behind, and our road is still very long."
Cheerleading notes
Bitter romance
We are crazy about dancing.
"Hey, cheerleading, are you going to dance this year?" The familiar staff entered the venue, and the staff in charge of the venue greeted me warmly. After leaving CBA for a whole season, I really didn't expect so many friends to support us and pay attention to us.
Most people don't know that in the season we left, through our own efforts, we set up "Shouzhen Dance (Beijing) Cultural Communication Co., Ltd." to turn cheerleading into professionalism. This season, we are also a training institution hired by CBA to train dance for cheerleaders, help CBA improve the level of cheerleaders in various clubs, and guide CBA cheerleaders to gradually become professional. Looking back on the road, bitterness and tears only stay in my heart.
The difficulty of starting.
Back in the autumn of 2000, one night, Miss Zhao () discussed with several girls who often attended her aerobics class and formed the original "Zhao Shouzhen Aerobics Performance Team". I passed the exam and entered the performance team after I saw the "small advertisement" posted by them at school.
When dancing, we will shout the password together, so the atmosphere of our dancing is very warm. Even if the temperature outside is below zero degrees Celsius, you will feel our enthusiasm when you walk into the training hall. We rehearse together every Saturday, which is our happiest moment. After the rehearsal, we eat, chat and go shopping together, and the performance team is our home.
At that time, we often took some holidays to do publicity performances at the gate of shopping malls, and the performance fees were not high. Sometimes we also participated in some fitness competitions on behalf of health clubs. After a period of hard work, our performance team has gained its own fame in the field of fitness.
We inject new vitality into CBA.
Not long after returning from the World Cup, the staff in charge of CBA promotion in chinese basketball association found Miss Zhao, hoping that she could cultivate a model cheerleading team for the Basketball Association.
After two months of rehearsal, we made a fiery appearance at the opening ceremony of CBA in 2002. Our team is the only team in CBA with somersault technology, and it has become the focus of the new season in an instant.
We will continue to work hard in the new season.
After the start of the new season, we will personally coach cheerleading twice in the next competition area, and there will be five coaching trainings in key competition areas. For us, there is a lot of work to do. The costumes of the cheerleaders in the North District are also customized by Teacher Zhao of Korea. Our task is arduous, and we will finish every task seriously, because we love cheerleading, dancing and basketball.

Dialogue cheerleader
In fact, we are also afraid of nudity.
Cheerleading shows too much, and sometimes it is inevitable to get naked. When interviewing this sensitive question, the reporter appeared cautious, but the cheerleader's answer was generous and frank. Reporter: Do cheerleaders care about the exposure in the performance? Cheerleader: Still, we are afraid of nudity. Many cheerleaders think clothes are too short or something.
Reporter: What should we do? Cheerleader: We will take adequate measures to prevent exposure. Reporter: But some moves are bigger. What should I do? Cheerleader: since you have chosen, don't think too much, be dedicated.

Types of cheerleading
At present, there are two schools of cheerleading in the world: America and Canada. The former pays attention to competition, has the action of throwing and catching the ball, which is difficult and thrilling, and appears in the popular football field in the United States. The latter emphasizes the use of unarmed gymnastics, dancing and other actions, which is more aesthetic and expressive. Cheerleading in NBA is such a category, and cheerleading in CBA is also the focus at present.
