All-Star What Inspired You To Join Competitive Cheerleading?

[Emily Jane]

Mine was too... :X I made the mistake of cheering for them for a season and a half. My first season I was in 8th grade and everyone hated me because they thought I was stuck up and thought I knew more about cheerleading than the rest of them. SURPRISE. I did know more than all of them combined.... it was the majority of the teams first time ever cheering.

The girls on my school team thought a prep was really hard, refused to do baskets because of how 'difficult' they are (even straight ride ones) and then complained when we came last at every competition. Like...really?

I started with my grandma recording cheer competitions on TV (: then I just wanted to cheer . (:

I cheered when I was in high school and college. Plus I coached for alittle awhile and always loved the sport...So when my cp was about 5 I let her try it to see if she would like it too. She was bitten by the "cheer bug" too and the rest is history:)

I tumbled in my backyard and my friend cheered and let me come to one of her practices. Started the next week :)

My daughter (only 2 at the time) was taking gymnastics at the YMCA. She was getting bored with doing obstacle courses. Right before her third birthday I signed her up for a cheerleading Tiny Tot tumble class-- thinking a change would be good for her until she was old enough to take "real gymnastics". A month later we were encourage to go to a bigger gym to have her put on the Tiny team. Now four seasons later at 6 years old she is obsessed!

I got a small taste of it with the one competition my fifth grade Pop Warner team went to and knew, seconds after stepping onto that mat for the first time, that I needed to be doing that full time. Next season, I was an all star. :)

Had to quit gymnastics because of my back and my friend asked me to cheer

My friend Lindsey from school did competitive cheer, and she always talked about her tumbling, and going away on big trips, and I was like OMG I WANNA CHEER!

i played soccer at a ymca, and had to go to the bathroom, so i went inside and saw a poster for cheer tryouts. ...so then i tried out. i had no idea what competitive consisted of or anything and had no prior knowledge to the cheerleading world what so ever
