I want to become a cheerleader how do i do that (read description)?

Question

Im 19 and in college now but I've always wanted to do cheer. I feel like I'm too far behind though because I can't do backflips, I don't know anything about it, and I'm not very flexible. My college doesn't have a cheer camp so I have to find another alternative. I have no cheerleading friends so what do I do?

Unfortunately, if you re 19 you have kind of missed the boat. College cheer teams are looking for people with experience, so that isn t really an option for you. There are few adult teams available from what I ve seen around me, you could check but don t get your hopes up.

I think your most aggressive options are behind you.  Look into joining the spirit squad or similar names, cheer-related activities that aren't as athletic in their own activities.

[edit]
I answered the question to the best of my ability with the information you provided.  If you're going to come back later and tell us the cheer team isn't very athletic and you are, well, why are you even asking the question?  It sounds like you're asking us to give you permission, not advice.

You do you.
