Hi everyone,
I'll try and keep this short but I don't think thats possible....
So as you know the school cheer season is coming to an end which means try outs are coming up soon or have already happened. I became captain of my school's freshman cheer team this year (last season) and just had serious shoulder surgery about a month ago. Surprisingly, I like school cheer but not for the reasons I think I should. I am a very shy person at school and being a cheerleader for my high school has helped me make friends. No, I am not doing it for the popularity! The squad is okay... only about 4 or 5 people can do back handsprings out of about 30 and they do compete. My recovery time for my injury is 9-12 months but my physical therapist said I will be ready by june :cheering:! It is just hard for me to see my friends (and enemies) who don't care that much about cheer as I do go to Varsity while I stay home and do practically nothing. Has anyone been through this type of situation? And what would you do?
P.S. Please don't get the wrong idea. I'm not doing school cheer to be popular. It just has helped me reach out and make friends.
I was also thinking of talking to the Var coach and seeing if she will save me a spot but I don't think that is possible because their strict about tryouts.
Thanks so much !
