Ever wondered what it’s like to join a champion cheerleading team? We put our skills to the test

A series called Cheer hit Netflix last month.

Captivating millions of people and opening up the doors into the competitive world of Cheerleading, the smash-hit docu-series followed the Navarro College cheer team as they put their bodies to breakpoint and their minds to emotional brink all to achieve palpable success.  Led by the incredible coach, Monica Aldama, Navarro College has won 14 National Championships and 5 Grand Nationals making them the best in the business. And so, led by our new-found passion for cheerleading and love for the series, we decided to put our own skills to the test and see if we have what it takes to make it in the demanding sport.
