I went to the local high school foot ball game last night. My little 5 year old grand daughter was part of the cheer leading squad. Every year the school has any grade school kid, that wants to, come out and cheer with the cheerleaders. It's fun and there lots, and I mean lots, of grade school cheerleaders. Twenty years ago my daughter was a cheerleader. All the cheerleaders were slim and well in shape. Last night there were several over weight cheer leaders. I guess everybody has to be included. I would think with all the gyrations they go through that the overweight ones would lose weight. I mentioned to my son-in-law, who was setting right beside me, "they sure have some "chunky" cheer leaders". He said "Ya, they sure don't make them like they used to."

My daughter came home from school one day and told me she was trying out for the cheerleading squad. I was glad. Good wholesome fun to keep her out of trouble. Then I found out how much stuff I had to buy and what the prices were. Probably should have just bought her a used corvette and saved myself a couple bucks.

If the cheer leaders are considered as part of the team the school buy what they need, not shoes. I no longer know the title of the bill but the money for sport has to be spread equally over girl and boy sports. That is in Mi. anyway.

Cheerleaders used to have to "try out" to make the team, just like the athletes playing the sport they cheered for. Some cheerleading IS an athletic pursuit, not just waving pom poms and yelling. I don't think that is the case anymore. Here in Wisconsin we solved that problem. We have pom squads and cheerleading squads. And from what I understand its quite the rivalry.

I don't think that is the case anymore. Lot of that is due to participation level. Can't have tryouts if you barely have enough to have a roster. Especially in female sports at smaller schools. Even the bigger schools here have issues getting enough participation. As for the cost of uniforms, those have to be fit to each player. Sports uniforms are usually passed down from one team to the next. It would of been interesting to see the reactions on some of the more sultry or suggestive routines our school's cheerleaders did if the uniforms weren't quite fitted...
