<p>I am currently a senior and will be applying to GW this year. Does anyone know anything about cheerleading at GW? (Are they good, do they compete, etc.)</p>
<p>I’m not sure particularly about cheerleading, but if you’re a girl and you’re interested in the idea, I’d check out the GW First Ladies. It’s a nationally ranked cheerleading/dance type squad, and I believe that a scholarship is part of the deal. You’d have to audition, though.</p>

<p>They have a squad. They compete. I think they’re fairly decent, but certainly not known for it. GW isn’t much of a sports school. There’s no football, just basketball. As far as ranking/competition, I’m not sure.</p>
<p>I was actually on the cheerleading team last year, and it’s a fairly competitive squad. We did trips to Florida and Hawaii for competitions. There will be tryouts in the fall. The coach is a former cheerleader from the Baltimore Ravens.</p>
<p>thanks academia22 what are the tumbling requirements to make the squad?</p>
<p>Well, it honestly varies year to year depending on the skill levels of the participants trying out. It can range from a Double Toe-Touch Double Handspring, Frontwalkover Roundoff, or a Handspring Tuck to a Triple Toe Touch Tuck or Roundoff Handspring Full. But don’t base this off of anything, because it can greatly vary.</p>
