well I have an idea that will help you stretch, girls use it on the cheerleading team.
there are 3 kinds of splits
middle splits, feet in a v sape in front of you.
right splits, left leg behind you ,right leg in front
left splits right leg behind, left in front.
you can do the right/left splits, make sure your hips are square, or as much as possible, that means hips should be straight across perpendicular to the floor, unlike diagnolly like most people.
Next once you master that, put you feet or ancle on somthing about 3 or 4 in high, that will increase the stretch. of the groin and hammy's.
dunno if this is clear, but hope it helps

Richard you could the method that our Carolina Panther pro bowl punter Todd Saurbrun uses. That is lot's of heavy drinking, driving 65 in a 35 mile zone without your drivers license and capping off the night with a DUI. He kicks pretty good.

Sometimes I lie awake at night and wonder where have I gone wrong? Then I hear a voice say this is gonna take longer than one night.

well, most are flexable to begin with, cause they have been cheering for 5 + years, and others have been in gymnastics and stuff since they where even smaller, so alot of it has to do I guess naturally. i'd do it maybe 20mins a day just to try and get ahead, 10 in morning, and 10 before bed.

And remember to only stretch AFTER you have warmed up. NEVER stretch cold muscles. Eventually, when you skip a week, you'll notice that your revert-to flexibility is a lot better than now.
