When I was in 8th grade, 115 was definitely NOT fat. I'm sorry that in your case, it's different-because that's seriously sad.
And, no, you cannot tell all these girl who weigh 115 and over that they can't be on the team, or just not even look at them if they are. Discrimination and shallowness, my dear, is a beyoch. Which can also end with a lot of lawsuits and your 8th grade cheer captainess career coming to a quick end. Also, don't be "that cheerleader" that everyone seems to hate.
Cheerleaders like you give the rest of us bad reputations-even for thinking something like that.
Sorry, but it's the truth. [Change it now.]

ok ok I am a cheerleader and I'm not skinny, I'm ok (average). I have a lot of muscle and that makes me wiegh more. But you should go by skill, if a skinny girl is a sucky flyer, but there is an awesome chubby base, you should go for the base. My squad has done so well, mainly because we go by skill. Try teaching them tumbling skills. We got a girl on our squad who didnt even know how to do a somersault and now she can do backhandsprings, tucks, and layouts. You have to work together. That is what a squad is all about. Don't make people stereotype cheerleaders anymore.

Excuse me? JUST because people weigh more doesn't mean they are fat! I am 4' 11",weigh 135-147 (matters the day), and am 16. Muscle weighs more than fat. I look good and I have my back flip,double back tuck, and scorpion down. As a base I can throw a girl a good ways. Weight shouldn't be that big of an issue expressly when you need two bases and a back spot all on the ground, its skill and how they look in a uniform.

Uhm okay, I'm just giving you my advice without trying to sound like a b****. I'm going into my junior year in high school and I'm a varsity cheerleader and on competition squad. There are 16 girls on my varsity squad (including me) and I bet that 12 of them weigh over 115 pounds; I weigh 120 and I can fly (lib, heel stretch, extension, etc) flip, base, and I have one of the best jumps on the squad. Just pick the girls based on their skills not weight K. And just because they weigh over 115 doesn't indicate that they're fat, I've never had someone tell me that I'm fat...ever.

it's OK I know where your coming from I was the captain of my high school squad and our coach pretty much said the same thing....here's what's up though...not all big girls are fat...so people just have big bones...don't go by their weight go by body fat...if all else fails and you absolutely need extra girls pick the best CHEERLEADERS and then hit the gym as a team...DON'T tell the girls trying out that they are fat and can't be on the team...it's not nice and that's how nasty rumors get started...besides you can always tell them the principal made you cut them...FYI for all the haters on line....most college level squads do have a weight requirement, regardless of body build.

This is exactly why I hate most cheerleaders. Superficial, stupid assholes. Your principal said you couldn't have overweight cheerleaders? I seriously doubt that.
