[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really depends on your zoned high school. At ours, cheer was way more competitive to make (generally top 3 in the state), while Poms is easier.

For cheer, you start at a cheer gym near you. Cheer gyms accept everyone and place them on leveled teams. Each year she can be reevaluated for a new level. She should aim for being Level 4 or higher to make the high school team. Please know that cheering for teams is just one part of cheer. The bigger part is their competitive routine that they compete toward counties, regionals, and States.

For Poms, she should join a dance studio. Many have specific Poms classes, but really she just needs to learn technique, picking up the steps quickly, and dancing in sync.

Right now is the right age to try these sports out and see what she gravitates toward. Mine definitely liked the power of cheer. She’d tumble all day if she’d let us. She is now captain of her cheer team for her upcoming senior year![/quote]

This is just the response I was looking for! Thank you. We are zoned for Fairfax HS but may relocate OOS prior to high school. At this stage I’m just trying to understand what we should be exploring. Helpful!![/quote]
