How do i start a cheerleading squad in middle school?
Here’s the thing: middle school sports are not a big deal, as far as people going to games goes. Therefore, the school will not dig into its budget to get a cheerleading squad to cheer at the games. The point of a cheerleading squad is to pep up the crowd, and if there is no crowd at the games, there is no use for cheerleaders. The school isn’t going to spend money on it when they could use that money toward getting more computers or books or something. That said, dance to popular, EDITED, non-suggestive music. Dress conservatively (middle school staff love this). As far as fundraising goes, maybe try to fundraise through local businesses. To be completely honest, the only shot you have of making it work is to devise a plan where you completely fundraise all of the money you need for it, including money for practice space and transportation. Good luck, and if it doesn’t work, high school is so close. Just wait it out.
