So I'm trying to decide between basketball and cheer as a winter sport. I'm in my first out of four years for this school and not sure what to do. I've been playing basketball since I was six, and cheered very briefly (one season) when I was eight. I've always loved basketball, but I've always been interested in cheer. I am currently taking six dance classes and I need to work on flexibility so I figured cheer would help, that and it takes up way less time than basketball with the added up practice times.I'm also nowhere near as good as the other basketball girls so that makes me uncertain because I don't want to sit on the bench the entire season if I even make the JV team. Cheer does a lot of fun charity events including a Christmas with Santa, yet basketball does some fun ones too (I think). Another thing is, I am way more of a tom boy than a girly girl so all my friends think I should try out for basketball. I'm just unsure, some help and more points?
