GYMNASTICS!!!

I regret not taking it as a kid. I wish I could back and take gymnastic classes. I'm obsessed with it but there aren't any gyms or classes near my house. I self teach myself it, but I suck. I just watch videos on youtube. However, I know it's not safe so these days I try to use a spotter.

In cheerleading, your basically do tricks and stunts, so you really need to know gymnastics to do it. You don't have to but it's very helpful.

Gymnastics is more focusing on getting your movements precise. Your working on doing different things, such as beam, bars, or even floor. In cheerleading, it's more about doing cool stunts and landing them, and getting people hyped up. (At-least as far as I know! I'm no cheerleader! XD)

If you don't feel like committing too much to gymnastics, I suggest you only take it for a few months to a year or two. That way, you can switch to cheerleading later, and know a lot more tricks such as handsprings and such.

Sorry, my info is probably useless. It's your decision in the end though; do whatever makes you happy. (:
