As a gymnastics coach, it is nice to see more and more guys participating in gymnastics. Just because it wasn’t a common thing for men to do gymnastics, it is becoming a little more accepted. Men are excellent gymnasts. They are extremely strong and it would be a waste for a guy who likes gymnastics and is good, to give up his skill. That is a common belief with male cheerleaders as well. Guys who are straight might want to participate in gymnastics and cheer, but don’t because male gymnasts and cheerleaders are said to be gay. I wish I had a guy on my old squad. At work a lot of the coaches are cheerleaders. Some of which are male. When we get breaks it is fun to stunt with the guys. They are much stronger, sending me shooting high into the air. Usually we had 3 or 4 girls when it came to basket tosses (toss flyer high as can, while flyer does stunt like a back tuck). When the guys fly me in a basket toss, there are only 2 guys. The power is just as intense if not more. With a mix of males and females in cheer, it makes watching more interesting. More stunts could be formed, because less people are needed in each stunt. More guys should join cheerleading gay or straight. Guys could show off their strength and muscles in cheer too!
