Not at all, in fact, it’s better that you did gymnastics first.
What do you think? Answer below!
no, exept cheerleaders have no springs in there floors, it’s just a mat, so it might not be as easy to do your full without the spring that you get from the floor.
No its a piece of cake. i think you should go for it because so far you have all the basics for cheer.

Definatly not. Since you did gymastics first it will accually help you a lot with cheerleading!
I dont think it would be very difficult for you to gain the cheerleading skills. The only thing I have heard is that it is hard to learn how to tumble with tennis shoes on!
i think it you would have an advantage for tumbling and jumps. if its allstar you still get the spring floor but high school just a mat
It won’t be hard at all. The two tricky parts gymnasts have to get used to is how stiff and snappy cheer moves are, and the jumps which are a little bit different. (For example some gymnast have trouble flipping their hips under for their toe touches or opening their legs up to do a front hurdler instead of a wolf jump.)
I am sure you will be fabulous, though. :^)
Good luck!
