Cheerleading VS Gymnastics?

Posted at: 2015-05-07 
I've been on my school's cheer squad for 3 years. It's about the time where people nominate cheerleaders to be next year's cheer captain. I've been nominated by many people, and it's time for me to decide whether I'm going to enter the election.

I really want to be a cheer captain, but I've just been chosen as the gymnastics team vice captain. I'm a level 9 gymnast, I've won twice (all around) in the regionals, and gymnastics is my life. I'm not allowed to be a cheer captain AND a gym vice captain, so I have to pick one. Which one should I choose? And why? Help! Thank you so much :-)

Gymnastics especially if you've done it longer. Honestly, Cheerleading is more of hobby and gymnastics you can have a living off of it if you wanted. Plus gym vice captain will look great on college applications :)

Gymnastics!

After high school cheer is not considered a very important sport like it is in High/Middle school. Also it looks are worked a lot longer as a gymnast than as a cheeleader and you could get somewhere if you put in the hours (Olympics).

Good Luck

I think you should go ahead with gymnastics being that you've done this for a while this can take you far compared to a high-school cheer team don't get me wrong I cheer for my high-school I just feel a school team won't take you as far

Cheerleading. I have heard that gymnastics is horrible for your body because, of all of the landings you have to take.

Definitely cheerleading. Cheerleading is a sport that requires teamwork and dedication. It is an amazing oppurtunity when you try and lead your team to success :)
