Varsity Tennis 4 years- Captain for 3 years on the gal squad

I was a softballer for years also, but, I could only play one spring sport, so, tennis won...

Also, I believe that cheerleading is a sport (as long as it's competitive) *nods* I go to competitions all the time w/my neice (who is in a nationally ranked squad) and they are freaking awesome!

I played basketball for a year. After that I couldn't fit it into my schedule. I was too busy.

-cheerleading- 2 years varsity, then I quit b/c of overlap w/ soccer

2 years Cheerleading in college. Am I the only male cheer leader on this site lol?

Less people think Cheeleaders are slackers, almost my entire first year squad became student senators, and Greeks.

In fact three of us went on to be chapter presidents and we had a few other execs out of only eight or nine NIC/NPC groups.

We were a pretty invovled squad.

Four years of baseball (last two on varsity), one year of indoor track (was a club sport, would have gotten a varsity letter if it was a varsity sport).

Six years on volleyball from 7th to 12th grade. And Junior Olympic Volleyball from 8th to 12th grade. As well as softball and basketball! Oh how I miss it....

[Allie]

4 varsity letter in Volleyball, 7th grade to my senior year

3 varsity letters in softball (I decided to give it a chance and tried out my sophomore year, I had never even played back yard catch, I ended up being the starting center fielder and the back-up catcher )

I also played soccor as a little kid for 5 years

I cheered in middle school

I also tried basketball one year in middle school and HATED IT!

I also was part of the weighlifting club, one of the few girls, I do believe it helped me with my sports and reduced a lot of my injuries.

Along with band etc...

I was on our dance team for three years
Cheered for the community team for a year
Threw jav and discus for three years
was on tennis for a year

[Jadey28]

I was...

-a gymnast for 6 years
-a majorette for 6 years
-a cheerleader for 7 years (3 in middle school, 4 in high school-all 4 years varsity-captain my senior year)
-a member of my high school's track team for 4 years, captain senior year

All 4 years of high school, I lettered in both cheerleading and track. I must say that I miss both activities dearly, and I often think of returning to my high school to coach. I have also considered trying out for the Raven's Football team cheerleading squad. (yes, I know, the team sucks, but it would be a lot of fun ).

[AGDPrincess70]

-played volleyball freshman and sophomore year
-played softball from 7th grade to 10th grade

I actually have played softball off and on since I was like 8, but I had to give up all sports my soph year because I got too busy with band and theatre and dance.

Oh, and I cheered in middle school, too.

Baton twirler all of my life and throughout college.

James...in response to your query....
My husband spotted for me as my "partner-dance partner" during half-time shows in college, and we competed in "pairs" in sanctioned state, sanctioned regionals, and unsanctioned national-ish competitions in 2001. For old people, we did really well (5th in regionals and 2nd in state). One day he told me, "I am NOT going to learn how to do a front walk-over..don't even ask."

Oh, and at 4 feet 3 inches tall, I was our junior high school team's shot putter!
