High School Cheerleading vs College Cheerleading

    The transition from high school cheerleading to college cheerleading can be a challenge. From the tryouts, camp, and games it can sometimes become a struggle. Sometimes cheering can feel like a job that you don't get paid for. You have so many responsibilities that you have to take care of. It's ridiculous! Some people also think high school cheerleading and college cheerleading are the same, but in reality its not.

        High school cheerleading is a very easy task. You have games, homecomings, summer camps, and pep rallies. Their practices range from five to three days a week after school. High school football and basketball games usually doesn't hold a large crowd. Being a cheerleader in high school can be the most "looked-up-to" activities a person can be involved in. It helps you set high standards for yourself, and gets you prepared for the next level of cheerleading.

        College cheerleaders, however, are very competitive and the athletes playing for the college are much more talented in the school division. You have to put aside a lot of time and energy for college cheerleading. They are very sexy young ladies that do more professional cheers. There are way larger crowds at the games. The coaches base the cheerleaders practice schedule off their class times. College cheerleaders are put on at a higher level and the standards are usually raised high.
