My high school was the freshman only on freshman squad, 10th grade only on JV, 11th can make either and 12th only varsity. To add to it though when we tried out in the spring you tried out for football, basketball or both and as an 11th grader you indicated if you were willing to be placed on JV if you didn't make varsity. Typically for football they took 10 ( I think, I never cheered football) and basketball was 8 so a junior could be varsity for football and JV for basketball.
I remember my 10th grade year going to camp and bonding with another school's 10th graders where one of the girls who was highly talented petitioned that because in every other sport you could be on varsity in 10th cheerleaders should be able to as well. She won and was the first in her grade placed on the varsity squad that year.
