okay so hubby starts softball on Thursday, and the girls and I have decided to make our own T-shirts and go annoy him and be his "cheer leaders"

well, I don't remember any cheers, so you guys know any that are acceptable for a church softball game (and also ones that children could repeat without embarrasing their parent---me)

okay, and also, I played softball in junior high, but smoked a lot of pot, and I don't remember the differences between it and baseball (other than the huge ball and underhanded pitching)

so anyone know anything?

Just wanted to say hello. So, hello!

On topic, I know nothing about sports, sorry.

oh and yes you can make up your own cheers, btw they don't have to have anything to do with softball, cheesy and cliche is fine, also rhyming is cool too. LOL

I dunno American chants for American sports, and i don't know many clean chants either. My favourite isn't appropriate, but included for showing how witty West Ham fans can be at the odd football match:-
When a decision goes against their team...
"He's got a pen and a notepad
which he uses appropriately
Refereeeeeee
Refereeeeeee"

There was also the time they were relegated and chanted at the Champions of the league "We're going to Grimsby and you're not" (Grimsby being in the division below).

Sorry, just had to mention those...

"We love you ___" is always a good one. We say it about Pete Doherty *thumbs up*




We love you Pete!

oh and my cheering skills are limited. i say just clap and yell n stuff...

"We love you ___" is always a good one. We say it about Pete Doherty *thumbs up*




We love you Pete!
sounds good. didn't think of that one :D

we are mostly going for our own intrests (meaning we are interested in embarrasing him in front of his macho friends, and also we get to wear matching T-shirts and be really loud)

Erm..if you're talking about the ex-Libertine junkie...why?

As to the topic in hand...what's the name of the church? Would it be blasphemous to use that in a cheerleading chant...?

But yeah, 'We love you <insert name here>, we do, we love you <insert name here> we do, we love you <insert name here> we do, oh <insert name here>, we love you' is always a good 'un. Though the name has to be two syllables...

He's my daddy
He holds batty
Smacks the ball
Ball hits fatty
Daddy run
Right to home base
Slide in
Dive in
HOME!
HOME!
HOME!

Meh.

that is exactly the type of embarassing thing we are looking for.

Aren't you glad you know me? :p

You need to give him a nickname too.. like when my brother was in highschool marching band at a competition the parents could have a message read to their kid over the loudspeakers in the football feild.. well he was not happy when he, and his friends heard "GOOD LUCK TO OUR LIL THUMPER!"

He was so pissed! I loved it.

I found this, (http://stormloader.com/users/sluggers/softballcheers9.htm) webpage but they are all really really long.....

Might not be clean enough, but we always loved this one:

Ra ra ree!
Kick 'em in the knee!
Ra ra rass!
Kick 'em in the other knee!

My mom used to do one that was awful when she *was* a cheerleader:

Pork chop, pork chop
Greasy, greasy.
We beat your team.
Easy, easy.

Then there was something like:

So Hit the ball out there
So Hit the ball out there
So Hit the B-A-L-L ball out there

So hit it hard out there
so hit it hard out there
So hit it H-A-R-D hard out there

There were more verses, but I don't remember them, LOL.


And other differences between softball and baseball, IIRC, are that softball has 4 outfielders instead of 3 (left, right, left-center, and right-center), and there's no sliding allowed (although that might just have been my league).

We want a single, just a little single
S-I-N-G-L-E Single single single!

We want a double, just a little double
D-O-U-B-L-E Double Double Double

We want a triple, just a little triple
T-R-I-P-L-E Triple Triple Triple

We want a homer, just a little homer
H-O-M-E-R-U-N Homerun! Homerun! Homerun!

He's my daddy
He holds batty
Smacks the ball

Right to home base
Slide in

Meh.
I'd say drop the base after home I was saying it out loud when I read it and that kinda upset the flow.

Hm.... I've never been on the cheering side other than an 8th grade Vs. 6th & 7th grade Girls Football game while the Guys were cheerleaders...

Although, for the T-Shirts, may I recommend my favorite cheerleader homemade T-shirts. The front said Official Hooligan, and in the back it said NOT A CHEERLEADER, I found it rather amusing.

The only cheer I remember is one we were taught in 5th grade for the students vs teachers basketball game. I didn't have my own pom-pons so I collected the strings that fell off the other girls' pom-pons and used those. In retrospect, I must have looked like a crazy person shaking around a fistful of trash.

giiii-GA-lo! gig-gig-A-lo! giiiii-GA-lo! gig-gig-A-lo!

It made no sense then and it makes no sense now.

Are you sure it wasn't gigolo?

Gigolo: A man who has a continuing sexual relationship with and receives financial support from a woman. A man who is hired as an escort or a dancing partner for a woman.

yeah, I got that too, we added a "YAY!" after the last "HOME!" and it sounds good, also my 2 year old thinks it's funny.

I like that one!

It's kinda pathetic but I actually was a "cheerleader" in 8th grade for like 3 weeks, until I got kicked out, but I remember we didn't really cheer much, mostly we danced and you know did basket tosses and such.

Yes it is, I was just writing how it sounded so you could get an idea of what the cheer was actually like.

I'm not sure WHY we had a cheer about a male prostitute.
