Southern repping well at Nationals
I know it is a sport most don't appreciate, but the All Girl and coed squads for Ga southern are showing well at the NCA College Nationals in Daytona. Both teams Co. Pete in the intermediate division. All Girl is in first after day 1 and coed is in 2nd but we'll within striking distance.

Some of the teams they are competing against include:
Ohio state
Michigan
Florida
Florida state
UGA
UNC
UNC Charlotte
Kent state
Iowa state
Missouri
Texas A&M

If all girl wins, it would be number 5 in 7 years and coed is still looking for their first.

Figured I would give some good pub to some athletes that put in way more work than most realize.

I definitely don't follow cheerleading but am glad a Belt school is doing so well. I really don't understand why the NCAA doesn't take it on as a sport, unless the other organizations are so entrenched at this point that there would be bad politics involved.

I think the reason for it, is not all schools compete. Cheering for football games is not a sport, and not at cheerleading squads are even necessarily athletic, or do anything athletic, and are basically glorified dance teams.

Another issue, is that if it were to be classified as a sport, I believe schools would then be required to have athletic training staff at all practices and events.

And lastly, cheerleading brings in zero money. To go to college nationals, it costs each squad approximately $10k. So in this case, Ga Southern had to raise about $20k, less whatever small budget they are given.

There are some schools however that offer scholarships for cheerleading, UK, Louisville, Stephen F Austin to name a few. Those teams typically win or compete to win at the higher level, because they offer scholarships. That's why a lot of schools like us, UGA, Ohio St compete at the intermediate level because the playing field is a bit more even. Basically think, non scholarship football team v a scholarship football team.

Needs to be pointed out that this is a national competition and not the national competition, but still, kudos to our girls for repeatedly beating many schools with athletic programs much wealthier than ours.

All good points. I guess I assumed that a lot of cheerleaders at schools like Georgia State were on scholarship, but now that I think about it, there's a good chance that's not the case. Cheerleading's place as a sport may be too fuzzy for NCAA sponsorship. It just seems like if they can sponsor, say, rhythmic/artistic gymnastics, cheer would make sense, too. Might even legitimize things in more people's eyes and help in getting on TV. And I think it's been pointed out around here that it could help some schools with Title IX concerns (or...maybe it would just complicate things...I dunno).

South Alabama isn't very good right now. They're in Daytona as well but they're already out of it. BUT...

1. We do have cheer scholarships. I thought that was the norm?

2. Our mascot Southpaw won a national championship in 2010. Check out his routine below:

And Pounce, I completely agree on title iix. Most schools have a cheerleading squad so that would automatically take care of quite a few women's scholarships, even though a lot of schools have coed squads.

Do you know if USA offers full or just partial scholarships by any chance?

It's different amounts based on your talent level, skill set, and how long you've been with the program. They give partial scholarships, but I don't know how high they can go.
