College Cheerleading - Which team has a less competitive selection?

Hi guys, I really want to continue cheerleading in college but I'm not sure where to aim. Can anyone give any insight on which college cheerleading team might be the easiest to make?

Selecting or preferring a college primarily based on the competitiveness of their cheerleading team may not serve your overall interest in a balanced and enriching education. Finding the right college fit should take into account multiple factors such as financial aid, programs offered, location, size, etc., which can significantly impact your overall experience and future.

However, keeping the spirit of your question in mind, generally, the competitiveness of college cheerleading teams often align with the prominence of the school's football or basketball programs. Schools with Division I athletic programs often have more competitive cheerleading teams, as their games are highly attended and the cheerleaders are more in the spotlight. These might include schools in the SEC, ACC, or Big Ten conferences, for example.

Smaller schools, liberal arts colleges, and Division II or III schools tend to have less competitive cheerleading tryouts, simply because the size and prominence of their sports programs are less. For example, a school like Williams College has Division III sports, so the cheerleading tryouts might be less competitive than a larger Division I school.

That being said, the level of competition can vary greatly from school to school. Your best bet is to directly contact the cheerleading coach or team at the schools you're interested in and ask them about their tryout process and team's competitiveness. They can provide you with the most reliable and updated information.

Remember, your goal should be to choose a school where you can strike a balance between academics, extracurricular activities such as cheerleading, and your overall personal growth and happiness.
