When Zack entered the basketball game, he drew an offensive foul from the opposing player, but that would not have put him on the free throw line. edit »
Kaycee Stroh is yet another member of the High School Musical group to guest star on this show, which also happens to star Ashley Tisdale. edit »
Vance, the troublemaking jock who was seen in First Day of High School, was apparently Nia's boyfriend, but they broke up when he went for the head cheerleader. Strangely, he didn't appear in this episode. edit »
In this episode, Nia (Giovonnie Samuels) shows off her cheerleading skills in a cheer-off. Giovonnie Samuels played the cheerleader Kirresha, who participated in a cheerleading competition, in Bring It On: All Or Nothing. edit »
Cheerleading goes based on the fact that all cheerleaders are all snobs and mean towards others, which may not be true. edit »

Maddie (Ashley Tisdale) does not appear in this episode, even though she is credited during the main credits. edit »
This episode aired on July 14, 2008 on Disney Channel Australia. edit »

Coach Little: Alright, your gonna be guarding number 53.
Zack: You mean the really really big kid? Ya know, I'd rather get you another frosty grape soda.
Coach Little: No, he's not that big.
Zack: Easy for you to say, you have your own zip code! edit »
Nia: Oh, you like spirit? You're about to become one! edit »
Carey: Fine. If the three of you want to enslave yourselves to the evil cult of cheer, go right ahead.
London: Whoa. Give me a B, give me a I, give me a T-E-R! What does that spell?
Barbara: Biter.
London: I meant to spell bitter.
Cody: You know, that's pretty close for London. edit »
Leslie: I was the one that convinced them to get the shorter skirts. Ankles! edit »
Cody: See, you'd never see Barbara trying out for cheerleading. She's way too intellectual for that.
Barbara: Look, Cody! My pom-poms match my glitter!
Cody: Barbara, what are you doing here?
Barbara: Well, I'm in high school now, and I wanna show people that there's more to me than just... math and science. (pushes glasses up)
Cody: Barbara, you don't wanna go out there, flouncing around, wearing some short, tight, little skirt. (gets a look on his face like he's imagining what she'd look like in a cheerleading uniform and gasps) Go and get 'em, honey, and don't take no for an answer!
Barbara: (to Dana) Hi! My routine is based on a poem by the great William Butler Yeats.
Dana: Yikes.
Barbara: I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree. (tries to do a cartwheel and falls with her glasses off her face) Okay, can't see.
Dana: Next!
Cody: That was great, honey! No one got hurt. We should go. edit »

Barbara's cheer is an allusion to the poem "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" by William Butler Yeats. edit »
The title is an allusion to the Rob Schneider comedy film, The Benchwarmers. edit »
