What is required to be a college cheerleader?

Question

I was thinking about becoming a cheerleader in college, but are there any prerequisites?

I know you have to be able to do hands stands back hand springs and stuff like that.

Do they only pick girls who had been high school cheerleaders or is it only on physical ability?

haha yeah, well I have nice breasts. I always knew that would be to my advantage! ha

If cheer leading doesn't work out I can always work at hooters.

Answer 1

1) Some colleges have spring tryouts. Be sure to find out if your college does. (Some will take audition tapes if you live out of state.)

2) Not all college teams are equal. The one at my college pretty much took anyone with the most basic skills. Other places have much higher expectations such as toss heel stretch, back handspring full, standing tuck, etc. (depends on if the team is coed or all-girl or mixed.) You'll also have to make a certain GPA (usually 3.0) and commit to daily workouts, practices, games, competitions, and public appearances/community service. (Personally, I recommend taking the minimum number of credits allowable for full time status in your first year to help you manage your time and keep your GPA up.)

You need to talk to the coaches of your potential school and find out what the requirements are.

Good luck!
