2 years ago, I built my team from Cheerleaders. My daughter was doing cheer in the fall as one of her many sports that she does. I was looking at the squad, saying, "these girls are athletes! How many of you want to play softball this Spring?"
Only my daughter and 1 other girl had played tee-ball, so that first season there were some growing pains. This past season, we went 15-1! And that 1 loss was a fluke, as we went on to mercy-rule that team the next time we played them.
So, moral of the story is....nothing wrong with getting your girls from the cheerleading tryouts!
