<p>I don’t know about other squads, but our h.s. had a number of male cheerleaders who were football players, who (obviously) didn’t cheer during football season, but were on the squad for competition. Some had quite good tumbling skills, but they were most valuable for being incredibly strong bases. We also had a handful who were not football players and who did participate on the sideline during football games as well as in competition. How many guys there were varied from year to year, depending on interest and ability. </p>
<p>If you check out some of the cheer competition websites, like varsity.com, [Varsity.com</a> | Wired for Spirit | Your connection to everything cheerleading and dance.](<a href=“http://www.varsity.com/index.asp?landing=9#competitions]Varsity.com”>http://www.varsity.com/index.asp?landing=9#competitions), you can see the number of entries in the h.s. and college coed divisions to get an idea of how many squads were coed.</p>
