Question
I'm in college and i want to become a male cheer leader but really do not know what is required of a male to do that like what am i supose to be able to do etc

Answer
It really depends on what level you're trying out for and the coach. Some colleges have entry level (J.V.) squads where the guys can come in doing little more than a chair, chair to hands, and assisted toe touch. Other places require guys to tumble and have harsher stunt requirements. The only true way to find out specifically what you need to work on is ask the coach of the squad you want to try out for. Obviously they do want personality since they have to put you in front of crowds of people and you do need to be strong enough to hold the female cheerleaders up.
