how do other schools get guys to try out?

    Well here is my problem....here @ my college, the guys on the squad are really looked down upon, and basically for that reason alone, we are down to 3 guys...and after next christmas, i will be the only one left!!!...does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to convey to guys that it is actually fun and physically demanding, and not be the stereotypical type things that are a lot of the time associated with being a guy in a cheerleading squad....thanks!....oh and by the way, anyone in Nebraska or around here, feel free to add me as a friend!

    Heey whats up man, congrats for making your squad! I am from Nebraska also so I totally understand what you mean by it being hard to get guys to cheer. I was actually the head coach for UNO the past 3 years and 2 of the years we had guys that actually showed a little talent but none of them really stuck around for long. Finally this year we have one guy that has been with us for a few months and is coming back to cheer again. The main way we have been getting guys into cheering is by having the girls recruit them. Girls seem to be good at making a guy feel like he is welcome. Once you get him into a practice teach him how to stunt, basics at first of course and make sure you show him some things he can look forward to doing once he gets the basics down. After that he should be hooked!!
