Check out California Allstars. Look at their Alumni page. They have helped several kids get into many Colleges. On their staff page, in the coache's bios, it says one of the coaches is the college liason. It appears that they have a program in place with a focus on assisting their kids with the skills needed to get into colleges that have high achieving cheerleading programs. Maybe if you're from that area of California, you can find what you're looking for.

1. In case you haven't watched a WINNING small co ed college team... I'll bring you up to speed. They co ed stunt, without a guy helping... WHY? Because if you use your 4 guys to hold their stunts solo you can get MORE in the air which is helpful in winning, and just because you see mediocre teams bracing their stunts at games doesn't make it a standard across the board. And not just old school UCA teams hold stunts by themselves... Louisville doesn't brace each other, they're NCA and they win every year. Stephen F Austin doesn't brace their stunts and they win they other co ed NCA division every year... Do your your homework!

2. California All Stars is a very good example of a team that DOES prepare their kids for college. And they have actual CO ED stunts in their routine... If you read what I originally wrote you'll see that my issue is with 3 guys basing stunts with ALL GIRL technique. I totally understand having a guy brace another guy in a co ed full up lib in a competition cuz it's a risky stunt and should receive way more difficulty points than a co ed team that does all girl stunts. That's all I'm saying.

If you guys can honestly tell me that a co ed team should be able to get away with all girl stunting then we'll just agree to disagree. But no matter what college team they try out for, CO ED stunting will be part of their tryout... and what they can do with another base and a back spot won't really matter

There are several teams that were hurt by having their coed teams stunt as if they were all-girl teams - if they haven't figured this out and taken it back to the drawing board, then it's going to be their own fault. It's like some coaches aren't even reading the score sheets for the competition before they go, much less prepare for it. Maximizing the number of stunts on the floor = more points. It's not rocket science, yet some of these teams who had a full coed team of 35 and 10 or 12 boys put 5 or 6 stunts in the air and then were stunned when they got beat. Some SMALL coed teams put more stunts up!

So they can agree to disagree, whatever...but the score sheets will show it in the end.
