Go with what you love.  If that's football, go do it.

Look at the pros and cons of doing either one and choose which one you'd be happier doing.\n\nI say Volleyball.

Definitely Football- not too many games each week to keep up with.  Great competition- a lot of fun!!

You could try dressing up like the scary Burger King guy. He is great at football, he'd probably be pretty good a basketball too.

Quick questions...what is your budget?  How big is the field (is this regulation NFL or just a little league football field)?  How many kids will be there (bodies will help fill up the space, too)?  How old are the kids?  \n\nThey have those boards where you can throw a football through and get so many points depending on which hole the football goes through.  You might be able to rent that.\n\nYou might also get some adults to volunteer to be in cartoon costumes (depending on the age of the kids...if they are say 10 and under).  You might also get your local arts council to volunteer to do some face painting...you can pick out cool things like footballs, helmets, arches, butterflys, bees, stars, etc.\n\nYou might see if you can get a little ice cream cart, too.  You know like the little Good Humor carts?  Maybe you can have a photo station set-up where the kids can have their pics taken with the lineman.  It could be simple...a little table for processing, and then photos in front of the field goal posts or something?\n\nYou can also rent ALL KINDS of MEGA SIZED inflatable figures.  You might call your local party rental store to see what they might have available.  \n\nIf the schools where the students are coming from have cheerleaders, let the cheerleaders participate and perform cheers to add to the excitement and "realism" of the activities.  It would even be neat if NFL cheerleaders could cheer alongside the little ones.\n\nAnyway, just a few ideas.  Unfortunately, nothing is free, but maybe you can get some stuff donated or for cheap.\n\nGood luck and have fun!  Sounds like a blast!

why can't you do both, then you would be ahead of the competition once you get to high school. You have some time, don't get stressed about it when it only your 7th grade year. RELAX and think it through, make a pro con list for each. Maybe you could talk to a high school cheerleader or a coach and ask them.

When I was still in school, I tried out for cheerleader 3 times. The first 2 times I didn't make it. But I wanted to be a cheerleader and so I kept trying. \nFinally on my third try out I made it. \nYou have to decide for yourself how much you want to be a cheerleader. You can give up or keep trying.

Depends on which team.  I like the Dallas Cowboy's Cheerleading Squad and the Patriots Cheerleaders.

I personally would do cheerleading. Cheerleading is a very fun and challenging sport and if you love it I would do it. Basketball and hip hop are cool too and i can understand if you love them too. Hip hop dancing is kind of in a way part of cheerleading and basketball is only one season. I would definitely do cheerleading.

I think it should be considered as a sport, for you at least. You actually take it seriously. I hate it when people give cheerleaders a bad name... even though I am not a cheerleader. For example, the other day someone asked: I need cheers for "cheer litting"\nYeah.... so I think that's great that you were nominated for that!

It sounds like both coaches are allowing you to play, but one is worried about injury, and that is not dumb.  I happen to on the coaches with this one.  Coaches want to win and I'm sure they'd love to have you on team if you can help them win.  During 6th grade youth football, I played Left Tackle and blocked for a Female Quaterback that led our team to the league championship.\n\nIf you have really want to play football you should try out.  I would first weigh all the factors though.  You would almost undoubtedly have more success at other sports, especially at a high school/college/professional level playing for a women's team.  Unless you are exceptionally big or strong for being a female, you will be at a high risk for injury, as is any male would be.  We had a great running back in youth football but he weighed only about 120 pounds and broke his leg- twice.  Also, one position women fair well at is kicker... do you have some talent there?  In high school, a lot of gals can be competitive as a kicker.  Much harder to be competitive at any other position though.\n\nMost girls who play football either play at a pre-high school level or are in a unique situation (either physically huge and athletic for a female or have a strong leg and become a kicker).  Always exceptions though.

how many teams are you on?? my friend is on 2 and i understand why your friends hate it. you never get to hang out with them or anything fun but if soccer is a big priority in your life don't quit. if you're really good you might even be able to go professional. just be sure not to talk about soccer too much in front of your friends so they don't get frustrated. especially the people you meet at the team and how someone or you scored a goal. just say a simple "we won our last game" and change the topic. i wish you the best of luck!!

No offense to anyones opinion, but cheerleading is to a sport. Cheering A. gets the team pumped up, B. is great excersise, and C. Did you know that cheerleading has the second most injuries of any sport following right after football. Cheering has also grown to be competitive. There are competitions where sometime over 50-60 squads will compete for the national title.Cheering also isn't just yelling ra ra ra. Cheering involves pushing yourself as far as you can go. It also include stunting which is basically lifting a person 10 ft. in the air! Why don't you try doing five backhandsprings in a row. Cheering isn't what it used to be. It IS A SPORT, and if you ever try it and still think isn't a sport then you can ask this question.
