Most women on pro squads are former cheerleaders, dancers, and gymnasts. The older you get the harder it is to do some of that stuff. Up here is Seattle the Sea Gals do stunt, but pyramids are not done. The pay scale for the Sea Gals reads minimum wage per hour, minimum four hours, then hourly after that. They get shoes and workout cloths, plus business wear. The contract that they sign is three pages long, stating things like if your look changes they can fire you, and that they can fire you for no reason at all. Plus you can't date players or really associate with them. It is much more than just cheering for your team, they have fund raisers, children's benefits, and shows outside of the team schedule. Considering all that and a main day to day job on top of that, I wouldn't want to put my body in harms way to much either for minimum wage!!
