Okay, when you finally get the TSSAA to meet and the discussion comes to tryouts, rules, etc. make sure squads are selected by the CHEERLEADER COACHES! Having a judging panel, student body, or any other group select the cheerleaders is totally unfair! We, coaches, are many times stuck with unpleasant, disruptive girls who, as coaches, wouldn't have been selected. The football, basketball, baseball,soccer, hockey, lacrosse, wrestling, volleyball, rugby coaches don't have outsiders come in and select their teams so why do cheerleaders have to. And the administration of each school should support the cheer coaches with the same vigor as they do the 'other sports' - not caving into parents who are disgruntled because their daughter didn't make the team/squad.
And why shouldn't men's sports sacrifice scholarships for DESERVING female athletes! Get real....If the athlete deserves a scholarship, what does it matter if they are male or female...get off your sexist high horse and join the 21st century, ksgovols
