Question
Hi, Ms. Quach
I am 15 years old and I'm going to start cheerleading next month. Is it too late to start cheerleading at 15 years old?

Answer
Of course not! I know a lot of people who just joined cheer for the first time on my squad.

Not everyone gets into their sport until later in life.

Like, for example, me.
I had always cheered, but I did a tiny bit of track. Wasn't really hardcore and all of a sudden, I stuck out the season and now I'm really into pole vaulting.

So don't worry.

Just keep working hard and you'll catch up with the other girls.

Oh yeah.
And one of the girls on my squad never did cheer ever in her life, but she became one of our best cheerleaders.

Hope this helped!

Love always, Kiki Quach
