1. Get to cheer at college athletic events
2. Travel to some away games with the teams to cheer them on
3. Meet so many new people because you are always seen around campus and you
are known as a cheerleader
4. Social networking
5. Cheer in a NCAA athletic atmosphere ( be on TV)

7. Competing at a National level competition against the best of the best. ( it’s an amazing experience I am going to really miss)
8. Try new skills that were not allowed at the high school level (two high pyramids and basket tosses that consist of your head going over below your hips)
9. Great way to get involved with the school
10. Meet some of your best friends that will be there forever
11. ITS FUN AND WELL WORTH YOUR TIME!!!! ( there are ups and downs but over all its so much fun and I don’t know what I would do without it)

There are many benefits for cheering in college as some of my team mates have said they wouldn’t be where they are today and wouldn’t know the people they know if it weren’t for cheerleading. Cheerleading in college really gets you involved with the school and you meet so many people. Being on a college team you get to know girls that are older that have been at school for a while and during the first few weeks of school you get introduced to other athletes at beginning of the school year at social events.

You learn so many responsibilities as a collegiate cheerleader from getting homework done on your free time rather than waiting till after practice to do it. Cheer teaches you to be responsible without having some parent looking over your shoulder telling you do to get to practice on time and get to games on time and bring this to practice and do this for school, you have to do it on your own. You learn many things from college academically but truly you will take away the most from college from being a cheerleader that will guide you down the right path in the real world.
