Question
I am in the 10th grade in high school and i have never been a cheerleader but everyone is always telling that i should. i plan on trying out for the upcoming year because i want to cheer in college although i have no experience do you think that i should do it or am i just wasting my time

Answer
No, you are not wasting your time as long as you want to do it for you. No one has experience when they first start, you have to get experience. STarting now is the right thing if you want to cheer in college b/c its very difficult to make a college squad without high school or all-star experience.
