Q&A: Can a 12 yr old learn gymnastics to become cheerleader?

Question by uk baby ♥: Can a 12 yr old learn gymnastics to become cheerleader?
my sister wants to be a cheerleader in high school and i thought of gymanastics such as for her to learn tumbling, cartwheels, splits and all she is needed to know. Is there any places in New York that I could find that at?

Cheerleading is mainly about strenght, but flexiblitly helps. I loved cheering! Its a fun way to get to know other girls that go to your school. Rather than a gymnastics academy i would find a cheer academy. They focus more on tumbling, jumps, and stunts rather than bars, beam, floor, AND vault. Many gymnastics academys do offer tumbling programs so i would jsut look at a local gym near you.

Good luck!!
