My mom and I have two different views of what parents who want to put their kids in cheer should do.
I think cheer first just so they can learn about being on a team and if it's what they really want to do, they'll stick with it. My mom thinks gymnast can easily go the cheer route, so gymnastic is the better option. This way even if they stay in gymnastics they can get a scholarship.
I advocated the fact that cheer is being retooled and looked at and by the the time Tiny aged girl are my age, cheer will have more oppurtunities with STUNT and Acro and Tumbling. But she believes that the stories of schools cutting cheer is the more accurate portrayal of the sports future.
What do you all think?
