Boys??

Boys??

Please do not buy into the age old myth that cheerleading is only for girls. Thats like saying only girls can be nurses or flight attendents.

Cheerleading is not the cutsy little pom pom thing it used to be. In fact, very few of the serious teams even use poms anymore. 

You can ask any of the girls on my team. They will condition and they will work harder than they have ever worked before. I guarantee you that your son will work as hard and be pushed as hard in cheerleading as he would be in ANY sport for his age. 

My son has been cheering with me since he was 6. I have had a team with 7 boys on it. They are strong stunters and tumblers and we need them.

I make every effort for my boys to be confortable in our routine. We often add "masculine touches", things I let them come up with so they feel more a part. Watch Trevan in this video.

At  1:48 he presents the girls dance (hes was a horrible dancer) and then he runs and hides.

At 2:03 he pops out from behind and gives a shout! LOL 

At 2:13 he does a round off back handspring toward the audience and then give a double duece. I wish you could have seen his face. he makes the best boy face ever!

I let him make up all the stuff he did. He had so much fun. He was dying to do it again!Now hes one of the best kids on my team.
