If you're on a team and you've won a worlds ring, I'm sure you can make a college team no problem.

College cheer programs don't ask if a candidate has a Worlds ring, but they do want to know if you were a member of your high school's Varsity cheer program. In fact, some colleges require a candidate who was not on their school's Varsity cheer squad their Senior year to apply for an exemption to be eligible to tryout.

Can I tryout to be a cheerleader if I am not currently on my spirit squad?
If you are currently not on your spirit squad, you must submit a letter to appeal for exemption from this requirement. Please describe in the letter the circumstances that preclude you from being a member of your school's spirit group. The head coach will review your appeal, and will notify you if you will be eligible for tryouts.

Where is that? I don't know that I have ever heard anything like that and we have had hundreds of athletes go to cheer at many different colleges and universities. Many college coaches highly value all star athletes - I know we get sent recruiting information all of the time and have frequently had college coaches visiting our gym to recruit some of our athletes. I am sure that is true at other programs as well.

This is bound to stir up a boatload of hate, but I don't get this concept. I'm not trying to disrespect sideline cheer but it seems odd that any college would question whether an allstar world champion could handle sideline cheer.

I realize they are two different things, with different foci, but I would think anyone who can bring in a worlds ring can be successful in the college focus. I would also think college coaches would know that. And if that college competes at NCA or UCA, so much the better for having a seasoned competitor in their ranks.

WOW!! I didn't know college cheer coaches went scouting at allstar gyms. Thought that was just for football baseball.
Do they go to competitions to look for athletes too??

Yes. Quite a bit.

By USC I'm assuming he means University of South Carolina, correct? Because the 'actual' USC does not even have a cheer team, only Spirit Leaders and Song Leaders

Actually, we do have one, and I'm on it! I wouldn't expect Fiereceboard people to know about it; the vast majority of the school doesn't even know we exist haha. However, our team this past year was considerably more organized/popular than it's been in years past, and our coach is even talking about potentially going to Daytona next spring depending on our tryouts/if we can get more funding!

As a little plug, check us out at USC Cheer | Facebook

Yes, USC is University of South Carolina. It was formed about 40 years before University of Southern California (aka SC)

The courts don't really agree with you , by the way

Some schools still put a lot of emphasis in crowd involvement and being able to handle the pressure of a game and always having a smile on your face. But. I do think schools are moving away from that because IMO and allstar cheerleader can be taught how to hold a sign and learn a homecoming dance.

I remember I saw them last year at a competition, but I wasn't sure if they had one this year.

And sorry everyone, I didn't know my comment would strick up such a big USC vs. USC argument

I am not sure I would agree that any all-star cheerleader can be a good sideline cheerleader. Just because a candidate has level 5 skills doesn't necessarily mean that they have the skills to perform on the sidelines. There have been several level 5 all-star cheerleaders that have not made school cheer either because they can't tumble on a dead mat or they don't have, or feel comfortable, with the spiriting aspect. I believe that if a college's cheer squad also competes, that they are most likely going to be recruiting from all-star gyms. But for most colleges, they are looking for the all-around cheerleader, not solely focused on skill, I.e., good grades, personality, sideline performance, representing their school at extra-curricular functions, etc. My 2 CPs do both all-star and school cheer and in my opinion, the skill sets are very different from each other.

Been following the JP drama for years now. I must say that he has become the Lindsay Lohan of the all-star cheer world. And if this thread "gives him life," then that is the worst possible commentary on him.

One other thing, I believe his coed team had the lyrics "arch your back, bend your knees" in their twerking section. I am amazed that he thought that was a good idea.
