Thanks! I’ll look into it but at this point I have a general idea of my college list, and I’m not really sure how I’d feel about going to college outside of the US.
Thanks! I really don’t want to do it for status or popularity. I want to do it because I love the experiences cheering at games and the feeling of being part of a close team and I just love tumbling and stunting too. I agree though it might just be time for me to move on and I can probably just...
Sorry it’s just hard because I really do want to cheer in college but I can’t really base my decision off of that. I’ll just work on my game day skills as much as possible this year.
Thanks! I’m considering both of them. Every time I’ve looked at the tryout requirements for Florida, they’ve seemed pretty difficult. I haven’t really looked into Auburn’s cheer team yet, but I’ll make sure to do that.
Thanks so much for all of the advice! If I were to contact a coach directly, what exactly should I ask or say to them?
And I know it’s just about your personality but is there anything I can do to improve my game day skills?
When you say reach out to each school do you mean just go on each schools website and do what you said or do you mean actually contact the coaches from each of the schools?
If I were only considering financial and academic requirements, my most obvious choices would be SEC schools. They’d all be cheaper than my in state schools for me. Cheer is what’s complicating it because I know I don’t have the requirements to cheer at those schools.
Thanks! The reason I’m so interested in SEC schools and others like those are because those schools would give me the most financial aid and be the cheapest for me, easy for me to get into, are in the south which I want, and I want to go to a big school with good sports, whether or not I’m...
You’re right. I would like to be a competition cheerleader too but I guess what I care more about is being a sideline cheerleader. I want to cheer in college because I’ve loved my experience cheering in high school and I want to continue it. My tumbling isn’t the best in the world but it’s...
Ok so I’ve been going through my academics and my college list, and my top choices are probably going to be SEC or similar schools with good cheer teams. Do I have no chance cheering in college if I only apply to colleges with strong cheer programs?
At this point I think I need to be focusing...
Thanks! My major is most likely going to be either early childhood or elementary education. I’ve been looking almost exclusively at top schools with division 1 sports which is making the cheer thing pretty difficult. I know I’ll have a better chance at making a cheer team if I go to a small...
Thanks! My main issue is that I’m pretty strong academically, and I looked for schools based on the education part first, but now my list consists of schools like Bama and Duke that have really difficult tryout requirements. My tumbling is good but my stunts are only okay and game day skills...
I’m really hoping to cheer in college, but I’m terrible at tryouts. I want to go to a school where I can cheer, but where there isn’t a ton of crazy tryout requirements or competition. Does anyone know if there any schools where it’s easier to become a cheerleader?
If not, what steps should I be...
