My 12-year-old daughter *really* wants to do a college sport involving tumbling. She is a third level Xcel Platinum (expected to move to Diamond next year), and given how competitive gymnastics has become, we know even D3 isn't likely. She raised college cheer as an option.
Does anyone have experience with their gymnast being recruited for college cheer? What does she need to start doing for this to be a possibility? Since it sounds like cheer operates differently than other NCAA sports, I'm having a hard time getting clarity.
FYI she is not interested in diving, and we have concerns about the quality of colleges for acro & tumbling, so we are not considering either of these sports at the moment.
Thanks in advance!
