Hey everyone — UK-based cheer dad here, looking to connect with other cheer dads (especially in the US).
My daughter’s in cheer and I’ve found myself properly pulled into the world of comps, routines, tumbling, all-star chaos, early mornings, expensive weekends, and somehow caring a lot more than I expected about hit zeroes and clean stunts.
Would be great to connect with other dads who are in the same world — whether your kid is in all-star, school, rec, prep, or college cheer.
Mainly just looking to swap stories, compare notes, and chat with other dads who get the culture, the time commitment, and the strange but very real transition from “just here to support” to fully invested cheer parent.
Would be good to hear:
- how long your kid’s been in cheer
- what level / type of cheer they do
- what surprised you most about becoming a cheer dad
- what the US cheer world is like from the parent side
Would be great to hear from other cheer dads here.
