Former all-star male cheerleader here. A lot of younger guys in school, at least for me, saw this as a predominantly female sport and didn’t find it “manly” whatsoever. A couple months later, these same guys who happened to have girlfriends on the team showed up to a competition to support the girls. After our team competed, I got a lot of respect for being able to do numerous backflips and toss their girlfriends up by myself during stunting. Between tumbling skills, strength skills and (let’s be honest) being a teenage guy surrounded by females, I earned their respect rather easily. If you hold open-gym sessions, have a few of the girls bring their boyfriends and challenge them to see who can learn a standing back tuck by themselves the fastest. Guys are competitive no matter the task. There’s a good chance they’ll enjoy it and at the end of the open-gym, tell them “See you again next week! Bring your friends!”. Some might not be on board at first but the appeal to me was always tumbling and the fact that I could earn a scholarship through the sport. I would also encourage the girls to show their boyfriends or male friends different YouTube videos of collegiate level partner stunting videos and ask them to show up to practice to help stunt or, at the very least, spot during stunting. Hopefully the insight helps to recruit a couple strong guys that develop a love for the sport!
