[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At first I was against it, extremely against it.  DD has done it for a few years now, All Star and High School. She loves it. I am also from Europe so hated the idea, yes in Europe we think cheerleaders are like in movies.  Yet, now she is amazing in her skills, tumbling, flying and loves it.  I've watched many other teams and she was so lucky that her school has unbelievable cheer team, they would be high level All Star team, and outshine the football team at every game.  I didn't see another team like hers yet around DC that is not All Star.  As for her team and All Star team it wasn't anything I thought it would be, it is extremely athletic, acrobatic as well, and extremely tough. I wish that it was scholarship sport for Colleges. The only part I don't like is that some moms are crazy, sorry.  I know we can all get carried away, and most moms are great, but there were a few "dance moms" copies and that is hard to deal with.  I avoid that at all cost.[/quote]

Believe it or not, it is a scholarship sport. My cousin's daughter receives a scholarship for cheerleading at a division 1 school. It is a university with a strong cheerleading program. It's football and basketball teams often get national tv coverage (they are on ESPN instead of a local channel). [/quote]

It was my understanding that coaches don't recruit for it though?  And that they have to try out once enrolled in college?  If you have some links with colleges that offer cheer scholarships, that would be great.[/quote]

Not for cheer, but I know many girls who have received significant dance team (very similar to cheer and pompon) scholarships to college.  They try out during their senior year of high school and receive their awards packages before commiting to the school.[/quote]
