Question by Suixela: What is the oldest age to start cheerleading?
I’m 12 and I really wanna cheerlead. the problem is that I am not flexible and have never done it before. I can’t do splits, backflips, etc. Also, I don’t take gymnastics or ballet. Is it possible to grow flexible when you’re already 12?

yes, but it takes a lot of work. I recommend taking gymnastics, martial arts and a message therapist that is if you are willing to invest, in 2-3 years you will catch up with the rest of them

yeah my sister started when she was 12 she’s been doing it for 7 yrs you just have to practice find a mentor somebody whos been there they’ll help you.
I’m 11! And just like you- I’m average boned ( I’M LIKE THAT NOT SAYING YOU ARE GETTIN THAT STRAIT) and sorta lazy. But yea! You could start when your 34 and be a pro when your 42!
Of course ! you could start cheering at any age. Trust me. My friend made this really cool website about cheerleading, it’s not done yet but still check it out because it’ll help you with everyhtiing you need 2 no :))

yes you can do cheerleading at any age. i started my freshman year of high school made jv, then made varsity every other year. i did have some ballet experience but i gained alot more flexibility by stretching and doing my jumps
the hardest part for you will be learning the cheers and dances but it may help if you learn one from youtube before tryouts just so you are prepared to learn it quickly
just stretch alot! good luck!
yes definatly there are some 45 year olds who become flexable a good way to start is try yoga
