This is not true! Yes, they have an edge, but if you have good grades, have leadership qualities, and exude a certain amount of confidence, you can still make it.
My daughter didnt have tumbling, but was a big dancer. She never learned to tumble, but was an excellent flyer. She is an A student and all the girls look up to her and she is a wonderful cheerleader. No one begrudged her that her tumbling skills were inferior. Now, if you are not these things, it will be extremely difficult. I also know lots of girls that have the aptitude for learning the tumbling quickly and did it. For whatever reason, guys have no fear and can just watch how tumbling is done and do it. Their form isn't always there, but they can do that. Find the best gym in town. If you are in Austin, TX (doubt it), it's Cheer Station.
I say, if this is something you really want to do. Put 110% into it and DO IT! Don't let anyone hold you back. There is a lot of shame in not having attempted to get something you really, really want. There is no shame in having pursued something and failing that. I wish you luck.
