AboutJames Expertise I can answer questions on the following subjects. Coed partner stunts at any level, group pyramids, all levels of male motions and beginning levels of female motions. I can also give out general tips for tryouts. I cannot answer questions on tumbling or choreography.
Experience I have worked at multiple all-star gyms teaching stunt clinics and classes and have cheered on a collegeiate squad for the past 3 years.
Education/Credentials I am the current male captain of my collegiate squad.
Question Hey, look I never cheered before and I'm gonna try out for my high school.
but i'm scared and nervous, cuz if i become a male cheerleader, my friends maybe they're gonna call me "Cheerqueer" and I'm afraid about that, can you tell me what to do? and what a guy do in cheerleading?
I dnt wanna be a cheerqueer, i wanna be a male cheerleader.
Answer It depends, someplaces will expect you to tumble, at my college if the guy can tumble great, but typically we throw girls in the air and hold them. If you really want to do it then it shouldnt matter what they say about you. Anyone who has ever made fun of me I just dare them to hold a 120lb girl in the air with one arm for over a minute and that usually shuts them up.
