What sport should I choose?
So I tried out for cheerleading in 6th grade but I didn't make the team. So I'm doing some practicing I make the team this year. (Going to 7th grade).
But I want to be on the football team now. Yes, I'm a female but I'm in love with football and I now everything about it. I want to try out for quarter back.
But I don't know which one to choose

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
Choose whatever it is that excites you more. If you don't know what that is, flip a coin.
Your reaction to a coin toss might answer the question for you. For example, if you flip a coin and it lands on cheerleading and you find yourself thinking "Darn, I really wanted play football", then you know what the real answer is. If you really feel like it is a tie, then there is no wrong answer.
Do what excites you at the moment, and if that ends up changing later, it is okay. Sometimes we find out what we do want by learning what we don't want first.

It is tough when you love two things with a real burning passion but can only do one
never both. Here's where I would start if I were you. Try out for both and see what is or isn't offered to you because if one is eliminated you'll be able to decide about the other option and whether you want to take it on after all.
That may help your decision especially if one gets offered over the other. If both get offered you'll have some serious pondering to do. You could also ask coaches if there would be a way to play half the games and cheer the other half. You never know but might have to think where would I feel happier and what would challenge myself or make me learn from the most?
I would never discourage any female from wanting to play football or with male classmates. You are equal but a lot of coaches may not give you a shot based on height, build and weight versus males, being tackled, and or antiquated regulation that you cannot participate on a male team because you are female. That could stand in your way. If you can try for both and pick that's the best especially basing it on your enjoyment. Start asking yourself what you love most and would kick yourself over not choosing or waiting long enough to see if extended you. Eventually you will wind up where you can weigh all the pros and cons by listing them in your head or on paper.
I'm not you but I have a hunch that you want the cheer squad role most because you came close last year and want in now. If you audition you should ask what kept you off the team last time because that right there should tell you if auditioning for the same people is worthwhile or not but nothing bad can happen trying for either.
