You have two different groups with this cheer
Group 1 goes....
Jump Jump Jump Ball get it get it get it (over and over again)
Group 2 goes....
Jump Ballllllllllllllllllllllll get it get it get it (over and over again)
The key is to start at the same time so both groups say "get it get it get it" at the same time. It's real cute and we do the little stomp with it too.
